    The Wally's near me has a big stack of 40 S&W hardball. I just can't justify buying any when I have two 30 cal ammo cans full of reloads. The wife would kill me.....chris3
    I won't say how much I have set back in ammo but it's significant. I had over 700 rds of Carbine and bought a case from the CMPicon. It's a fun rifle to shoot but it's not the first I would grab in most case scenarios. That would be the M1Aicon or the AK. Like the other gentle man said I shoot reloads till the brass dies and then get out some new and start the process over. Gun show brass for the carbine around here is very rare, bullets are around $15 a hundred.

    When bringing a new rifle home use the Patrick McManus ploy. Keep an old lamp shade in the truck or car and before you bring it in pop the lamp shade on it. "Honey look at the new lamp I bought.."
