The order of 35 Remington cases of PMC manufacture came today from Graf & Sons. These are the most nicely packaged brass that I have gotten in many years. The cases came in styrofoam holders of 20 each, 10 to a case. These came in a box 13 1/4" lg X 6 3/4" w X 3 1/4" h factory packaged. With shipping, cost was $63.93. Each one is real pretty and new, I see no defects as I normally do with bulk Winchesters or Remington brass. For $29.99 per hundred they appear to be a good bargin. Time will tell! That's half the price the others are listed for.
I also stopped in at a Gander Mountain today and was totally shocked when I asked the know it all clerk for a can of IMR 3031. He told me some BS about how the war in Iraq had forced the price of powder and bullets up, so I had to ask before he rang up, how much is the powder? his reply, $31.99 a pound!!! What da #+ll ! No wonder the cabinet was so full. Last Monday I bought a pound of Reloder 7 from Sportsmans Warehouse for $18.75. Needless to say, I didn't buy it from Gander Mountain. I don't like to be gawged:holysheep
BTW: PMC stands for "PAN METAL CORPORATION" Los ANGELES, California Importer and Distributer

..............If it has metal or chemicals (petroleum) in it it's going UP! Most of my 22RF rifles like Winchester Dynapoints. Wal-Mart used to sell them for $9.63/Brick (the ONLY reason I went into Wal-Mart). Dynapoints were supposed to be K-Mart's brand but they wanted $12.99 and I suppose due to K-Mart's lower volumn Olin Corp may have allowed Wal-Mart to have some.

In any event, the supply was always spotty at Wal-Mart. I finally bought a case at $9.63/brick. This was awile back. I was going to buy another case but Wal-mart doesn't have them, and K-Mart is charging $20/brick! That's a jump from $12.99 to $20 in about a year.

But speaking of 22RF's and gouging, just think of this: You can buy 1000 rounds of 22RF ammo CHEAPER then you can buy 1000 gas checks! Something just ain't right somewhere.
