This time of year the local sporting goods shops are all having sales and I can't seem to pass up a box of .44, .452, or .50 bullets. So far I've purchased 2 boxes of Nosler Partition HG (260 grns. and 300 grns.) at half price - even at half price they were still rather pricey, a box of 100 .44 CAS type lead SWC for $4.00, a box of 20 T/C Maxi Ball for $4.00, a box of 20 T/C Maxi Hunter for $4.00, and a box of 100 Hornady PA conicals for $4.00. All of these on top of the bullets left over from last winters hunting; Powerbelts (2 kinds), Hornady SST's 300 grn., PR Bullet QT's 250 grn.

I'm giving up going into sporting goods stores for Lent. This addiction is getting expensive. Uhhh... and I uhhh... picked up a couple lbs. of 777, I figured I'll need some powder to go with all the lead.
