… to destroy a package! Big Brown Truck dropped off last week’s Georgia Arms order today. It came in a minty GI ammo can with a fresh gasket:
And inside:
550 rounds only fills the can halfway; I think this means I need to buy the 1000-rounder next time.
The bulk FMJ has once-fired brass with mixed headstamps, predominately Winchester. OAL is consistent, at least within the limited precision of my crappy dial caliper. Primers are uniformly seated just below flush. Overall quality looks great, though I haven’t inspected every round yet.
The Gold Dot ammo is put up in new, nickel-plated Starline brass and looks almost identical to the Speer stuff I carry in my CZ and HP.
The proof, of course, will be in the shooting. I’ll run some through the Hi-Power and save the rest for my CZ 85. Stay tuned.
How much was 500 rounds with shipping? What about 1,000? It’s 9mm FMJ, right?
I’m looking for something that will be cheaper in bulk then the WWB 9mm. I go through A LOT of ammo as I provide it for those students of mine who use my guns and I get a fair number of students who use my guns.
After considering GA reloads I realized I could buy Fiocchi 9mm from Dan’s Ammo for virtually the same price. $203 shipped per case.

With shipping you’d be looking at $110.50 for 500 rds, $204 for 1000. That’s for the 115-gr FMJ.

Interesting. It’s been years since I shot Fiocchi but I *think* it was very dirty ammo. I could be confusing it with S&B, though. What’s your experience with it?
Fiocchi shoots just fine for me and it’s cleaner than UMC / WWB for sure. (this is the 115gr. blue box stuff)
Good to know. I’ve been satisfied with UMC and Blazer Brass and unhappy with WWB (dirty AND unreliable – a winning combination!).
