I have found ammo at Cabela's. I have seen some intermittently at Walmart as well.

I have about 500 primed casings I have been using out of but I shoot at an indoor range and you can not pick up brass that falls ahead of the line. The Kahr can through the casing about as far as the bullet.

It's the same way at the range I shoot at. People reaching out ahead of the firing line to pick up brass has caused such a problem that the range personnel periodically come along and push the brass with a broom so that it can't be reached. I haven't made it yet, but here's my idea. I am planning on getting some cheap cloth about 3 feet wide and 6 feet long, maybe an old curtain. Then I need to ask my mother-in-law to sew magnets in the corners and one about every foot along the edge. At the range that I shoot at I'll hang one end of the cloth on the steel framework at the top of the booth, from the midway point out to the right side of the shooting lane. If I shoot so that my bullets are just missing the curtain, my empties usually fly forward at an angle and they'll hit the curtain and fall straight down instead of flying forward of the firing line. I'm even thinking that if my idea works, maybe I could fold the bottom to form a pocket that'll catch all of the brass.

That curtain idea is a good one, wish I'd thought of it. >:(  Cheesecloth might work well also, & it's very light weight.

Guess you could slip a ladies nylon stocking over it while you shoot. Then just empty the sock.

Somebody else need to try it and let me know if it works and what kind of looks you get. ;D

At a gun show in Abilene,TX today the sam ammo I purchased for $13.88 a box was selleing for $30.00 a box.  I asked the dealer "Why so high?" He said, "That's what it cost me." Sounds like someone is full of bulla, I'm sure he was making a handsome profit, maybe even purchased where I did.

Buds and Sportsman's Warehouse in Lexington both have Remington for $19 a box. Wally World has it for $17 when they have it in stock.
