TGO only Fighting Pistol course in Camden TN (May 26-27)

I wonder if he can get .357sig...?

Best price I can find on bulk 357sig is $60 per 250rd on OutdoorMarksman, for loose-packed ammo-cans of Speer Lawman. I would hope that reloads would be even cheaper...

[Donnie]

.357 Sig is $260 for 1000 rounds

[shaftbass]

Wal Mart works out cheaper for ammo that's not even reloaded compared to Hoer.. 100 rds WWB: $23.00 so $230 for 1k

Or if you get the CCI Brass, that stuff is $20 for 100, so $200 for 1000.

That Hoer Gear's 9mm prices are ridiculous.

Actually that place is very high on all their prices considering the stuff is reloaded. A few trips to Wal Mart before you go and you could save $70+ dollars on new ammo.

Cabela's has some bulk Wolf 9mm for $172.00 for 1200 rounds and includes 4 ammo cans. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=netcon-cat20837_TGP&id=0022867215170a&navCount=11&podId=0022867&parentId=&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IH&rid=&parentType=&indexId=cat20837&hasJS=true

Or up to $212 for 1200 rounds of 115 grain US made 9mm http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=netcon-cat20837_TGP&id=0022867215169a&navCount=9&podId=0022867&parentId=&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IH&rid=&parentType=&indexId=cat20837&hasJS=true

And from $83 to $370 for .45 ACP for 300 to 1200 rounds depending on Manufacturer. As always the ship 1 dry ammo can for each 300 rounds.

Just to let you know. A little bit better than Wal-Mart.

[shaftbass]

That is still very expensive compared to WWB or CCI at Wal Mart. $2 ammo can considered.

The prices I have found at my Wal Mart:

100 WWB .45 ACP: $22.68

100 CCI Brass 45 ACP: $19.90

100 9mm WWB 9mm 115gr: $12.60

100 9mm CCI Brass: Just under $11.

[Guest TonyM]

If you go with CCI Blazer from Academy, 9mm is even cheaper (unless it's gone up over the past few weeks). Last time I was there, I got 1000rds for about $135. My 19 has had some issues with it, so I don't know if I'd use it for a class, but for the range it's ok.

FYI... for some reason the prices at your Wal-Mart are about $1.00 - $2.00 cheaper per 50rds than they are in a lot of other areas of Tennessee. Hornet Handler told me that the ammo was cheaper out there too.

[saintsfanbrian]

Yeah, I went back and looked at some things from Wally World about pricing and realized it was more at CheaperThan Dirt.

[James Yeager]

James, what kind of pistol would you recommend that I take and how many magazines and mag holders?

Carry the gun and gear you are most likely to have in a gunfight. I would also recommend you quit carrying two different types of guns.

[James Yeager]

So, anyone wanna go in on a bulk ammo purchase? I wonder what kind of deal we can get if we order 12,000 rounds...

12,000 is not considered "bulk".

[Guest Shane]

12,000 is not considered "bulk".

Yup, I know people with 12,000 rounds in their closet.

[Guest WingedSnake]

Completely agree. Train with what you're going to carry. Especially for a high-quality class like this - if you normally carry a .45, then bite the bullet and buy a case of good-quality factory-new .45 for the class. Plinking at the range for fun is the time and place for cheaper stuff.

[Guest salb3039]

Check out Widener's for ammo.

9mm Wolf $129 for 1000

40 Wolf $146 for 1000

45 Wolf $194 for 1000

[Guest GlocKingTN]

Dang! Thats alot of ammo to be in their closet. I dont even have enough room in my closet for 12,000 rds.

[Guest Len]

I guess it depends on the person. I have about 1200 rounds total at my house as I write this (counting a 500 box of .22lr). Many people consider that pathetically low, others as reason to call the authorities. On the other hand, a friend and fellow instructor has an inventory in his basement that puts Bass Pro to shame, and he claims he's had more in the past.

So, I guess "bulk is in the eye of the beholder?"

[Guest Shay VanVlymen]

So, anyone else want to do this class? It's going to be a great opportunity to meet other forum members and get in some good training.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

Well, right now, I have about 100rds of ammo for the Glock, and about 1550rds for the S&W .22LR! I think Im kinda backwards huh?

FYI, my wife dropped out of the class, but my brother in law plans to take her place. Do we have a confirmed attendee list??

[Mike]

If possible I'd like to bring a friend as well.

Definites:

1) WingedSnake

2) Len

3-4) Wareagle + brother-in-law

5-6) Mike + friend

[Mike]

My friend is a maybe. I'm trying to convince him to save the money to do this.

I'm a definite though!

[Guest db99wj]

I'm officially out. Due to expenses that are being redirected toward the birth of my 4th child, I will have to wait awhile. But you guys have fun.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

How do you even afford the internet?

Just kidding!

[Guest GlocKingTN]

The cost will be $350 each for TGO members and their spouses. We'll close the class at 12 students.

Sign in here if you ARE planning to register.

So is that $350 for the couple, or $700 for the couple? Is it $175 for a single attendance!

You said $350 for members and their spouses, so is that cut in half if we come alone?

Im confused I guess!

[Guest GlocKingTN]

I'm in for sure! Sign me up!

From my review of the posts, it looks like we may have our 12 already:

1) WingedSnake -in

2) Len -in

3) db99wj -very interested

4-5) Wareagle -in (possibly spouse as well)

6) TonyM -sounds like he's in

7) GlocKingTN -sounds like he's leaning towards coming

8) Archimedes - sounds in

9) Mike -in

10) Demon -maybe in

11) Rooster -sounds in

12) Tungsten -sounds in

So, anyone wanna go in on a bulk ammo purchase? I wonder what kind of deal we can get if we order 12,000 rounds...

-Len

Im in for sure! Wife wont be able to make it looks like!

Also willing to buy ammo in bulk as well!
