    There seems to be better and much more powerfull ammo today, whe shooting from pistols I notice that almost every brand seems to have a different color when fired? I tried about five different types of 22 mag in my revolver and some were blue-white others were an orange was it the short barrell or what? even some of the same brands were of a different color? as in the Winchester, the Dynapoint and Super X seemed completely different, then in the 38 the Silvertip ammo was a blue white color? on some ballastic tests through some wet phone books there was a big difference in results??????????

    Can someone tell me what the correct name is of the 12 gauge ammo used by farmers to scare geese off of their fields? I thought the name was Crack R Shot but I can't find that anywhere. And where I can purchase it..
    Thank you

    What is the difference between a 7.62x39 bullet and a 7.62x54 bullet? Sorry, it's just been bugging me, also, what are the good and bad points about the different types of ammo, such as FMJ and Soft-Point, Hollow Point, Copper Tipped and stuff. Thanks.

    I have ammo stored in old military cans.

    If I move it into a room where temperature may reach below 32, am I causing a problem?

    This will be winter only and maybe 15 to 20 days max.

    I have some old .22 and shotgun ammo in original boxes I am thinking of selling. Does this have to be done thru licensed agents? Can I advertise it and sell to the public at large ( 18 yrs. and older of course )?

    which is best for 9mm usage, 115jhp,125 jhp,115 round nose does it matter or is it all on the shooters ability to perform?

    mostly for personal& HOME defence, then for target practice I ask because of the fact that some say practice with what u use to protect
    self& home.


    thanks for the input

    Any ideas where I can purchase amunition for a Winchester Model 1903 .22 Cal Automatic Rifle. I believe the ammo for this rifle is bigger in diameter than regular .22 ammo. .22 long rifle will split the casing and expand in the chamber and not eject. I have heard that some ammo manufacturers make runs of outdated ammo now and then for sale.

    Is it legal to sell ammo as a private party at a gun show? I was given a couple boxes for a caliber I don't have and figured I try and sell it.

    Thanks.

    I have come across a few pieces of ammo that i can't identify. I am no expert so help me out. Here's the description. It is rifle ammo in a brass casing. Stamped on the primer end is W R A 62 and a stamp that resembles a circle with one verticle line and one horzontal line. The primer has a tinge of red on it. the bullet end seems to have red wax in it. Is it a tracer or maybe a blank?

    Where is the cheapest place to buy brass-cased, non-corrosive ammo for my ar-15 chambered in .223. I dont want any steal cased ammo. I also dont plan on reloading this round. I would like to buy half a case or a full case. FMJ or SP. Thanks for your time and help.

    ammo doesn't have to go through an FFL, but if you want to cover your own behind, get proof of age (Drivers liscense, or some kind of ID)

    I'd just send it to them. Unless your a store and keep records filed, just ask them if its legal for them to have it. If they say yes, then you've done your part and its no longer on your sholders, cause if they aren't they lied.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Some states require that the buyer of any ammo that (can be used in a handgun) be at least 21 years old. Just to cover your backside I would require age verification of 21.

    If I knew then, what I know now.

    The cartridges aren't well defined between handgun and rifle ammunition. There are handguns that fire rifle cartridges and vise versa. Therefore you can always say you sold it under the impression that it was intended to be fired thru a rifle.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    I may not know beans about this, but it has been my strong
    belief that shipping any kind of ammo, powder, or explosives
    of any kind, requires (haz mat) Hazardous Materials label and charges.

    Every time I buy anything like that, I have to pay haz mat.

    rwp - I do quite a bit in this line. I require proof of age (typically a DL copy) & a statement that it is legal for the buyer to receive the ammo involved under the laws of their jurisdiction. I'm not sure exactly what - if any - requirements are truly required by law, but my conditions are designed to address the issue of minimum age (Feds) & local standards. By requiring the statement, I put the burden on the buyer. How the heck am I going to know what special restrictions apply in E. Podunk, XX 00000-9999 and if the person on the other end is not prohibited by law from purchasing / posessing live ammo?

    eric - if you are being charged haz mat for shipments of assembled ammunition, you are being ripped off and need to change suppliers! Ammo is classed as ORM-D (Other Regulated Material - class D) and does not require any special handling beyond being labeled as such. All kinds of products fall into this classification and are shipped routinely throughout the country. For example, body putty for auto repair shops. This is not to say that local shippers, for whatever reason, give sellers a hard time about shipping ammo (and, boy, do I have the scars to prove it!), but it sure as shugar ain't hazmat.

    I believe that at least in TN if the ammo will fit a handgun, it is considered handgun ammo and the 21 years of age rule applies.

    Then all ammo would be considered handgun ammo.

    Lee, if you are thinking in terms of the Contender & similar special firearms which can be chambered in a variety of (nominally) rifle cartridges, you are largely correct, although I've yet to hear of one chambered in the Weatherby, large metric or British Express calibers, to name some obvious exceptions. OTOH, while I'm not familiar with all the details, some of the excesses of such classifications were eliminated in the reforms of the ammo provisions of GCA'68 and today I believe the criteria is the 'primary usage' such that even though, for example, the .45-70 is chambered in some exotic factory handguns, the cartridge is not considered handgun ammo. And in the most sincere form of flattery, on the regulatory details, "If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.[/]"
