This is a screenshot from an Internet retailer:


That's right; nearly seventy smackers for a box of cheap-jack .380 range ammo that, at the beginning of the year, sold for about one-fifth that.

Let me be clear: I despise profiteers and that outfit, through the supply shortages in 2009, 2013 and now, has been in the forefront of skimming whatever it can.

Though small and fiddly, I've reloaded .380 rounds using salvaged range hulls and bulk lead bullets, as good as this ammo is for practice and plinking. And my reloading skills are pretty weak-bulged a S&W barrel once from poor quality control. Learned from that one. On a single stage press always inspect to make sure you actually dropped powder in each case!
