Cabela's bulk ammo

[Scootter]

Has anyone tried Cabela's bulk ammo? I am interested in their .223 stuff. I will take any overall impressions you have though.

Thanks,
Scootter

Hello

Scootter I have not shot any of their bulk rifle ammo but shot their .357 Sig. I have not had any problems with it at all.

Have a great day

If they have any in stock I think I'll order some. It's either that or the Ultrmax remanufactured stuff. Living in the Uinta basin sucks eggs. Nobody locally carrys anything and if they do it's top dollar stuff, just askem, rthey'll tell ya.

My 223 did not like the Ultra Max ammo at all. It was shooting 2 to 2/12 groups with it. You never know though yours might like it. With wwb it would shoot 3/4 groups.

[Scootter]

I ended up ordering the Ultramax. Everybody else was OUT of reasonably priced ammo. If the HR doesn't care for it I'll set it aside and use it to break in the barrel on the Savage I'm going to buy in a month or so.

Okay, I've racked my brain trying to remember an ammo company that has been reported to offer good shooting Handi ammo at a bargain price, after thinking about it since yesterday, it finally came to me. Wisconsin Cartridge has 223 ammo for $23-$29 per hundred.

Those are some good prices on 223 ammo. I see only 55gr Bullets but they are V-Max. Both my 223's love V-Max bullets.
 Great link Tim, especially for those that don't reload.

Thanks Tom, I saved the page into my favorites for later use. I need to pay off my Visa before I order more ammo. I pay it off the first of every month, It just got used a little more than usual this month.

I have dealt with Wisconsin Cartridge. Good people and good products.

[mookster79]

I will have to check them out as well. My handi likes the ultramax or the blackhills reman, but that wisconsin is about half the price of them. thanks for the link.

Wow Tim! I could burn some bucks up with these guys. Who loads their stuff. Do they?

[MSP Ret]

Thanks Tim, I hope their shipping is not to costly, (and I hope I don't have to have it shipped to a friend out of state!!!). it sounds like a good deal....<><.... 

[quickdtoo]

I checked their shipping, it's not bad at all. I haven't bought any, but I looked back at the previous threads on it, several members were real happy with it. Stiff Neck griped cuz the ammo he got was dented, but the general consensus was that it was great ammo, dents or not! I would assume they load it, but I don't know that for sure. From their home page....

Welcome to Wisconsin Cartridge - Serving the firearms industry for over 20 years, Wisconsin Cartridge began loading ammunition in 1982 in Whitewater Wisconsin. Loading for several hundred Police and Sheriff's departments in 4 states, as well as local sports shops throughout the midwest and worldwide internet sales, Wisconsin Cartridge moved to Friendship Wisconsin in 1987 to be centrally located and to better serve "The Finest sportsmen and Law Enforcement agencies in America".

Who loads their stuff. Do they?

They load their 223 ammo in once fired cases collected from Boarder Patrol ranges.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but this ammo price thing is just about to get as agitating to me as the gas price gouging is. Sure makes me wish I'd bought up many more boxes of the WWB stuff last year when I was getting it for  $11.47 a box. I bought up 200 rounds for the PD shoot last year of which I have about half left. Should have gotten a 1000 rounds I guess, who knew?
I also wish I possessed a 500 gallon holding tank for gasoline as well.  I would have sure filled it up a few short months ago when gas was $1.76 a gallon here.
Let me just say something here and get it off my mind and see what you guys think.........at the risk of being a little OT.........Commerce is very basicly the transfer of monies from one entity to another......basicly. I once owned and maintained a wholesale snack business and I never turned a profit. But I always had money to use both for my personal needs and wants and for the snack business inventory. I simply utilized the transfer of funds to support myself and keep the business running. With this country being trillions of dollars in debt, and if a redneck peon like me can figure out commerce, don't think that the powers that be that run this country (and I'm certainly not refering to the president) haven't figured it out also. Time fails me to discuss FDR and the depression and the world bank and how we got in trillions of dollars in debt.........ever wonder who we owe all that money to anyway? Every American's lifestyle is such today that we couldn't function or survive without traveling in our vehicles from place to place, really, think about it. I think that the afore mentioned "powers that be" figured this out in 1973 and put the American public over a barrel.......an oil barrel.....and we've been there ever since. If I could run a business by the transfer of monies, can't this country be run that way also? And if you could control the flow of that money up and down by lowering and raising the price of something we can't live without, wouldn't you?
Ok sorry for ranting on about it, it just rubs the hair wrong on my little cat, ya know?
Anyway, Wisconsin Cartridge seems to be a nice alternative to the high priced ammo out there now and should be worth a try, may not shoot as accurately, don't know, but if it does, what a deal! I know......all the reloaders would say it's cheaper to reload, but with the cost of loading supplies now, it ain't even that much cheaper anymore.
