I felt bad buying Powerbelts as I don't like them, but one of the guys I hunt that lives 2.5 hours away still insists on using them. The other night he asked me to look and see if I could find any around here as Walmart in his area didn't have them in the grain he wanted. I went to Dicks to pick up some for him because they have been the best deal for the last few years. They are selling them for $18 a pack, but their packs are of 20 bullets. Walmart has been $17 in the past, but their packs only had 16 bullets in them. Why I don't know, but it makes Walmart end up being more costly than even some of the local gun shops which sell them for $20 for 20.

So after I picked him up a pack of them I decided to look the next time I was in Walmart to see if they were still the same price as last year. To my surprise they are now $18 which is the same as Dicks, but they have now cut the packs back to only include 12 bullets. Anyone know what the deal is here? It just seems really odd that the gun shops and Dicks are selling 20 packs and Walmart is selling packs with 12 in it, for the same price as the 20 pack at Dicks. It's not often that you can beat Walmarts prices on gun related stuff, but you seem to be able to on muzzle loading stuff.

That said, I don't see why anyone would pay $18 for 12 of these inferior bullets, and imo anyone that buys those things is crazy. I think my buddy is crazy for wanting me to pick some up for him for $18 for 20 bullets.
