Not bad. Especially for that price.

Good bit more.  1K rounds would be $391.82 delivered to my door.

Extra $100 puts me back to pulling the lever on my press.

But if you don't reload or are looking for a start on brass for reloading, this is still a good deal.

Yes indeed it is more. But....they have it in stock.

SG is down to -10 as of this post.  :o

I ran 10 shot strings for these to gather more data.

EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1140, 1146, 1154, 1145, 1140, 1138, 1137, 1145, 1142, 1134. Average = 1142.1 FPS/ 521 LBS
EAA Super Match 6" 1162, 1161, 1162, 1172, 1188, 1162, 1140, 1160, 1161, 1161. Average = 1162.9 FPS/ 541 LBS

  I always love shooting the EAA 10's. My favorite!   8)

All I can say as a reloader, I HATE S&B brass. I have an old Lee Enfield that I was getting case head separations out of. I was thinking it was just an old eroded chamber until I noticed that every case that separated was one made from S&B brass. No other manufacturer's brass was doing it. As I don't trust their brass, how in the heck can I trust their ammo?
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

Fresh factory ammo will be fine for you. Shot thousands of their 9mm and 45.

I almost picked up a couple of boxes from my LGS the other day.  $20 a box, I like that they are cheaper than Sig by a couple of dollars.  Might have to pick up a couple of boxes, I have a bunch of their 9mm stuff that I have yet to shoot but I hear its good stuff.

I haven't purchased anything from cheaper than dirt since sandy hook and I never will again.

I know some people don't like Cheaper Than Dirt but they are showing it in stock at $13.98 per box.

$33.00 shipping for 10 boxes. I still hate CTD for the same reasons others do!

I've bought stuff from them many times in the past. After sandy hook I nicknamed them cheaper than platinum.

edwardmdoonan

I ordered 2 pmags from them the day before sandy hook I got my shipping notice than they did their whole pause in sales thing a few days after that and I get 2 separate emails from them First one said sorry the mags I ordered were now out of stock and I'd get my credit card refunded the next email was to inform me that pmags were in stock but now they cost 5 times what I ordered them for. I understand price gouging but the cancelled my order and re listed them for a higher price so now I'll never buy from them again. Sorry for the thread jack.

That's respectable. Very close to the Win STHP that I carry. Thanks for the report.


I'm also curious about the brass. I'd expext it to be fine based upon experience loading S&B in other cartridges. If it could could had for 30.5 cents a round, it is pretty close to a push for the cost of hand loaded fmj ammo in new Starline cases. If a guy needed brass, might as well buy some of this factory stuff.
