What makes you think its a unicorn?

Looks like reloads to me, but they're not very up front with that.
Big disclaimer about 2-4 week shipping time - "We will ship product when inventory becomes available."
I think you just gave us a drawing of a unicorn as your proof...
$22 shipping to MI for 1000 rounds isn't bad. I'll give them that.
Yes, they're reloads, but having met their staff in person at numerous gunshows in NW FL, I can say that they have outstanding customer service (usually on hand or shipped in >10 days) and use better (read: cleaner/more reliable) powder/primers than many other "cheap" target brands like PMC, Blazer, etc. Is it Corbon-level quality? Of course not. Let's be real, it's target ammo, but as of the time of this writing, I've had 0/500 FTF/FTE with their 9mm 115gr products and 10% of that was shown to chrono with an average deviation of 2.6% (Note: nearly all major label ammo manufacturers use 4% as SD for pass/fail).
Look, if it's consistent, clean, and reliable, who cares if it's new or reman? Like a lot of folks today I'm not reloading for a number of reasons (cost effective, component availability, etc), so I could care less if it's once-fired brass. Affraid you're going to blow up a rare/expensive firearm because you don't trust the reviews they've received? Then by all means, buy Winchester WB, PMC, or Remmington UMC for 30-40% more. Just keep in mind that warranty claims submitted to firearm manufacturers require "unicorn proof" that the round causing the malfunction was in fact factory and not a reload. Good luck with that.
Just my $0.02.
the only concern is if bullet is jacketed or just a lead. I bought Ultramax reloads once and they were not jacketed. Crap. Otherwise you are right - nobody cares.
Exactly! Noone with half a brain cares if a round is remanufactured or new. For examples of those with perhaps less than half a brain or the rule followers that are terrified by the "do not use reloaded ammo" statement in their firearm manual, check out any Freedom Munitions ammo posting here.
Then again, there is a whole lot of difference between a professional ammo remanufacturer and Jim Bob sitting in his basement dumping powder into half cleaned cases between gulps of white lightning spiked sweet tea. I wouldn't buy Jim Bob's product either.
No one with half a brain pays factory ammo prices for reman either. It's not an apples to apples comparison.
Then again, the chart just says brass, not factory ammo. So really the chart is useless for comparing store price anyway. For all we know all the graph points are reman ammo.
As previously stated, this graph takes into account the averages for ALL of the submitted 9mm brass products over time. While retail prices do vary between new and reman, the difference is small (in some cases <15% for the same product using once fired brass) and were not factored into the monthly averages unless a SG member submitted a link. More often than not, reman was the only option since the availability of newman was nil. 'Bird in the hand and all...
But please feel free submit your own chart for the rest of the folks that feel the way you do.
On a side note, I've personally had very good experiences firing quality reman ammo. Most Olin sub-corps use 4% as their SD pass/fail threshold. If a reman uses 2-3% SD, who would you trust more?
Then again, if you're the type that can't trust reman at all...
You forgot the third flat line for the idiots who alway claim to be getting product delivered to their secret ammo cave for the same pricing as back in 1960... by bikini-clad chicks driving a VW minibus.
Until I see the deal posted, it doesn't exist.
not to mention this secret walmart located just next to the cave that always has ammo in stock and prices are the same as with the chicks less 10% discount
Impossible. VW mini bus (Combi) production has been halted by the government of Brazil since they do not comply with CY2014 federal airbag requirements.
The girls are being issues Fiat 500s for future deliveries and iPhone 7s for accurate GPS coordinates to said ammo caves.
I heard about VW stopping production... but that is just happening so those things will still be crusing the streets for decades like unfed zombies.
How many rounds would a Fiat actually hold? A bulk pack of 22 LR might put it over the GVWR. I'll have to ask one of the Shriners when I see them zooming around in the next parade. LOL
I like it. Nice work. I would like one for each 45, 40, 5.56, and 7.62.
Something like this for reloading supplies would be really cool. I would check a web page like that everyday LOL.
I too would like one for 45, 40, 5.56, and 7.62...as well as 9x18, .30-06, 5.45x39, .308, and 40mm 'nades, however, this chart (one caliber) was put together in about an hour and a half during a coffee break at work.
Sifting through 3 years of "deals" and averaging prices with an abbacus is a PITA. That's why I'm asking for the admins to consider a sort of "stock market" sub-site.
There is a Wiki page too. http://www.wikiarms.com/...
And the page you are on isn't half bad either! :)
So where is this brass cased 9mm ammo priced less than .25 cents a round? Please post that deal, I would love to get in on that unicorn
