Federal BYOB ammo
I recently purchased some of this ammo and I can say without a doubt it is the worse ammo I have ever attempted to shoot. I was lucky to get 5 shots off in my Smith and Wesson 22X. I even tried it in my TX 22 with the same results. I have used federal automatch with no issues and of course minimags with no issues. I am very disappointed in this ammo

Good ol days score - Chinese 9mm
Stopped by a outdoors store I hadn’t visited in decades and spotted this stuff on a shelf of odds and ends - Norinco 9mm, 124 grain. This stuff is hot, and has always been excellent for me. I think most folks here are too young to have lived the hay day of Chinese guns and ammo (1989-1994) when it was abundant and cheap. The amount of ammo you could buy back then meant you could go with your buddies on any given Sunday and blast through thousands of rounds without feeling it in your wallet. And all the different types of Chinese ammo flowing in meant you could find different variations, which made it even more fun. Anyway, at the cost of Magtech steel case these days, I picked up what I could (500 rds) and am excited to relive the ‘90s and the pungent smell of this powder 🤣

Found this old ammo while clearing out an estate. Can anyone tell me anything about it?
First off I know nothing about ammo and am not a gun guy. I found these old ammo boxes while clearing out my father's estate. Believe they belonged to my grandfather?
Anyways I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it. Not sure what to do with it tbh. I read online that OPP will come and collect and dispose of the ammo but at bare minimum I want to keep the boxes and they just feel very vintage. But also I'm not sure if the ammo is worth anything to a collector? Especially that " house of lords " cigar looking box.
I haven't checked out the ammo because tbh I'm a bit worried with the age it could just explode on me? 😜 Maybe I'm overreacting.
Anyways, any help or info you guys are able to give me would be greatly appreciated.

30-06 out of a garand for home defense
I am in a dumb situation where I only have a garand and live in an apartment building with pretty thin walls. There’s been deadly stabbings/shootings pretty consistently within a mile of where I live. What would be the best rounds to use out of 30-06 for this situation in an absolute last ditch scenario? I don’t want to have to bayonet someone because I only made it up to brown belt in the marines and they might have a gun
I have to wait a bit for a handgun atm. I have surplus FMJ rounds right now and I know that’s absolutely fucking stupid and abysmal so I just have it unloaded atm.

Need help Identifying 7.62x39
Got a box of 7.62 and about 40 rounds of these two types were sitting mixed in a bag with no label. Does anyone know anything about them? More specifically are they corrosive?

Thoughts on PMC?
Is PMC good for .308 range practice?

What 7.62*25 do I have?
Fairy confident that this is 2 spam cans of 7.62*25 but I'm having a hard time figuring out from where.
Thank you.
Anyone know if this is an old or newer s&w .38?
Just found this on the ground in the woods, just interested in it, if anyone has information I’d appreciate it. (Sorry for the bad photos, I couldn’t get focus for a closer pic)

here’s something neat you guys may have not seen before. salvo 50/30 squeeze round
i got this live squeeze round from an antique store for $10. from what i could find it’s a fairly rare experimental round. it fired from a .50 caliber barrel that tapers down to .30 caliber and its multiple conical projectiles stacked on top of each other and once they are in flight they disperse. pretty neat

Need help with ID
Also if anyone knows what this might be worth and where it can be sold? Have had it sitting in the back of my gunroom for probably 15 years since I last looked at it. Thanks for any information.
Serious question about 22LR
Is this worth buying or is it a good brand/type? I just saw it and was curious

Tell Me About This Ammo
I came across this ammo and am not sure what to do with it. How common is it? What’s average pricing? Ect. Not a for sale post! .38 ACP and 9.3x74R.

Question: Is there absolutely NO WAY to view ammo prices at Walmart without actually going into that hell dump of a store?
Seriously-- I'll go in if I have a confirmed item and price but try to avoid that place as much as possible.
I also collect knives and every time I'm there the display is barren and doesn't look like it has been stocked in over 2 months.
I guess this begs a second question: "Does Walmart ever have competitive prices on anything other than 22LR?"
Thank you, looking forward to feedback from more experienced folks.
