PSA has Sierra Ammo on sale.
I ordered some .38 spl JHP at $10 a box for my pocket gun and .243 win at $17 for the wife.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Good sale.  Dang shame they insist on shipping to me FedEx...I just don't buy anything where I am restricted to FedEx anymore.  They screw up so much on deliveries where I am they are not worth the trouble.

For any work stuff I make certain I specify NOT FedEx on business shipments.

I have some Sierra ammo, including that .223 55 grain BlitzKing Prairie Enemy, and at half-off I would buy a bunch if I didn't just buy 900 rounds of 50 grain JHP ammo. I still might buy some, but not mass quantities.

Cor-Bon .45 ACP +P 165-grain JHPs are the defensive ammo I have the most of. I'll experiment with SIG Elite V-Crown +P and lots of other ammo, but the Cor-Bon is what I always fall back on.They claim a Velocity of 1,250 FPS, and Energy of 573 ft-lbs. That's on par with the energy level of lots of .357 magnum ammo, and better than some. But with 15+1 rounds instead of 6 rounds, the .357 is seriously lacking in total firepower. That's 9,168 ft/lbs total energy in my 5" .45, and 12,033 if I have a 20-round mag in it instead of 15. A couple more rounds and it would be about like a single round of .50 BMG, butt I can't shoot a .50 BMG one-handed. ;)

""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.
