Actually, no. I am about 25 miles south of Buffalo. In a town called Perrysburg. West of you. I used to go through Bath on a regular basis when I lived in VA and MD as I would travel up 15 then across on 86 to visit my folks here.

You can buy it online if it is shipped to a gunshop and then you pay a fee to have them import it was my understanding for the time being. The fmj's were designed to give 2 moa at 100 yds so for target shooting and then going to hunting ammo to hunt with if that's what you plan on will have a drastically poi than what you use as target stuff.

I actually found some American Eagle 55gr FMJ ammo at Walmart on Friday 10/2. I bought five boxes. I was amazed that they had it, and it was just under $8 per box.

I found out about being able to buy ammo online and then have it shipped to a licensed dealer, but it just seemed to be too much of a hassle, and with what they charge sometimes, too expensive. NY state is a pain in the rump.

I appreciate the help, though the latter part of the second sentence was a bit difficult to decipher. I think I get the gist of what you are saying, though. BTW, I don't hunt, so that part isn't important to me. The only thing I ever shoot is an occasional raccoon that becomes a recurring problem in the garage. For that I use my .22LR, and it works just fine.

"Wally World" here has been week stocked with all kinds of 223 ammunition even during the dry period. 22LR and Mag? That's another story.

What does ammo and reloading have to do with gunsmithing? This is a perfect example of why you don't clump several questions about different subjects into one post.

What perfect example are you speaking of? My original question and my additional issue were answered. There was no problem at all.

This is the Gunsmithing Q&A board, which part of your original post was a appropriate for and was answered in the first couple replies. The latter part of your original post was about ammunition, which is a question that belongs down in the Centerfire Rifle - Standardized Cartridges board. So not only have the last 20 or so posts in this thread been off-topic for this board, but anyone else with a similar question who looks in the right place for info isn't going to see it because it's not there.

My whole point is in the future take the time to make separate posts in the correct board(s) for questions concerning completely different subjects. That's why we have all the different boards - to keep the shared wealth of information and knowledge well organized and easy to find.
