At Walmart I saw federal priced at $20 for 100. Is that the cheapest I'll likely get?
Drying my ammo before I store it!
What 1600 rounds looks like.
Generally, I'd avoid steel. It can affect the gun's lifespan if the gun isn't meant for it. More than that, some ranges won't allow it. Look at cheaper than dirt. Buy the cheapest FMJ rounds you can there, preferably in bulk (500 or 1000 round case.)

drying ammo? that looks like factory ammo. did you leave it out in the rain?
Id be more annoyed by whoever packaged it if water managed to penetrate both the outer box and the individual ammo boxes.
More like the outer box, the inner cardboard box, then all the individual boxes...plus the extra packing between inner and outer boxes. Least that's how all the ammo I've bought has come.
If you want a lot of ammo

Also I am such an awful shot with my 1911. I couldn't shoot myself with it. Each time I miss AND lose about 45 cents!

That's usually recoil anticipation that causes it to go low and left...I've found putting random snap caps in a magazine helps to train that away, when one comes up you'll see yourself push it and it makes you think more about not doing it the rest of the time...Where on the target are you hitting? If right handed, I bet you're low and to the left?
If so, next time you shoot, shoot opposite hand. I bet you'll be dead on - I sure as hell was ages ago. Right handed, I was consistently low. Left handed, having never shot lefty before, I was dead accurate. Had to retrain my right hand.
I just shot my 1942 Mosin Nagant over the weekend. I bought it quite a few months ago but never shot it after I wiped all the cosmoline off. It was so much fun, such a nice gun to shoot. Everyone else shooting it loved it, it got put away and brought back out about 5 times as everyone wanted to keep shooting it.
Wow though it was filthy afterwards. I must have spent nearly 2 hours running patches through it and it was still coming out dirty. There was also some green stuff coming out with the solvent. For my shotgun I just shove these long pads down it that rips all the junk out, so convenient. Is there a similar solution for rifles?

That's why I mix them in with live rounds, or rather have someone else do it for you so you don't know where they are...it makes you start to think about it when one comes up and you see yourself jerk I can't hit shit left handed, I've tried again and again but just can't seem to do itYes, that's what causes low/left. Mainly, my right hand would clench as I pulled the trigger. Firing lefty, my left hand was fine and I literally hit the bulls eye at 7-10 yards or so, and could repeat hitting the bulls eye again and again. Back to the right hand, and I was low. I was grouping GREAT, but I was low. In the woods back in august last time I was shooting I was hitting a propane tank with my 1911, a good 20-30 yards away, so I was happy.
But for me, snap caps didn't do it, I was fine with snap caps, with live rounds I lost it.

Since I'm new to all this I have a question: do elections have any influence on ammo prices?
