I did the 30 day trail for Sportsmans Guide's buyer's club and noticed that there was a $20 off coupon for orders over $100. Sportsmans Guide had 1000 rounds of Wolf 9mm at $132 for Buyer's Club, so the total price w/ free shipping would have been $112 plus tax.
This is by far the cheapest price for 9mm I have seen and the next cheapest price for brass 9mm is $151 for S&B. Factoring in the tax, it's a difference of about $42 for me.
I don't reload 9mm and have no intention of spending my time reloading 9mm over other calibers I do reload for, so spending time collecting all my 9mm brass after shooting is a waste of my time.
I know that steel cases can be harder on extractors and ejectors, but with the cost savings, the ammo will pay for itself in replacing those parts. For a modern polymer frame pistol, I so no issue using steel case, but for old 9mm guns like a Luger or a Browning Hi Power, I can see the necessity of brass case.
IDK, do you guys think $112/1000 rds of steel case is good? Would you buy it if you didn't reload 9mm?
