LOL I barely nicked mine with a BB. Knocked a tiny sliver of plastic from the rear sensor but no real damage.

Wow! Nice setup. I don't reload, so it's little more than a toy for me. I sure don't need one that costs 6x as much.

The last one I shot up was with a 300 Kong loaded with a 220gr HPBT at 3400ft/sec.

Sup roof!

In stock ammo, guns, magazines, and reloading supplies <--- it will compare prices of ammo from a ton of different sites

Try not to get reloads (at least I don't run them. Especially in my Kimber). I usually go for winchester white box or federal.

For practice, I use FMJs. Cheap and readily available. I buy most of my practice ammo from FireQuest, but that's mainly because they are located where I live and I don't have to pay shipping. Some of the gun/pawn shops around here carry 250-1000 round cases and will order bigger quantities.

Hey bro. Try this website. Its pretty good and I think this would be about one of the cheapest 9mm ammo around.
Plus the shipping is already added to the total.

Been thinking on buying one of those rifles. Top it off with either a US Optics or a Schmidt & Bender scope.

5-25x56 PM II/LP/MTC

U.S. OPTICS - ER-25

the gun I got from Cabelas and was $1,530 or something around that took it home the same day....they said that the reason we can take long range rifles home like this, is because its a different policy than handguns and smaller firearms like AK-47's exc.... I think (personally) it kicks less than my Remington 700 7mm Mag.

The Scope is a Vortex scope MOA mil-dot ....6x30x50

the scope is retailed for around $1,100 , I got it with the military discount so I got the scope a little cheaper, but that is the price regularly for it ... so all in all.......... 1500 + 1,100 =$2,600 or so in total. vs 8-10k for the barrett without a scope... that's one HELL of a bargain.

and if you think about it ....... $1,500 Lapua Magnum vs $9,000-10k Barrett and the Lapua shoots as far and is as accurate , but for 7.5k less, that's a bargain worth investing .

and the ammo, though still expensive ...not as expensive as the Barrett. I think with the Barrett it costs you around $20 a shot ..... the Lapua is $10 a shot.... I have a buddy that reloads his own shells ( has the same gun as I do, but its the 110 BA version instead of the 110 FCP ) and its cheaper to do it that way instead of buying new ones regularly , plus you know exactly what your shooting everytime versus say.... new bullets.
