12/3/2023 – Re-re-established pricing for
bulk/volume purchases. Old guy fat fingered a formula in Excel that created a
margin that equated to me working for almost $4.00 an hour (duh…).
While I strive to price the ammo way less than at retail, I can’t give
it away…I need to make a little to help pay for the old fat guy meds I
have to take every day to stay on this side of the dirt. 11/28/2023 – Re-established pricing for some bulk/volume
purchases. New load for 6.5mm Creedmoor. Hornady 147gr ELD-M at 2750 fps. I
expect this particular round to do really well out to 1000+ yards. Just broke
in a 300 Win Mag rifle and will start loading more of that caliber soon.
Components are still a little tight especially for large pistol and large
rifle primers. Some powders are tough in the OEM channel but available at
retail…kind of weird. Biz has been kind of slow the last 4-6 months so
I have a greater variety of on hand availability. If things go mental again,
I’ll just start up the load list and do the best I can for a grumpy old
fat guy. 05/11/2023 - Just finishing up a run of 223
Match. Bullet is a Hornady 75gr.
BTHP Match and I’m having to use a CCI #400 small rifle primer as
I’m no longer able to get the CCI #41 small rifle primer previously
used. This load is near and dear to my heart and I’ve updated the
labels and description on the prices page. It is now called, and always will
be, the Deaf Rob | Cranberry Ernie load. This load is at the high end of the .223 Remington
spec and at the lower end of the 5.56mmx45mm spec and performs well in either
an AR-15 platform or Bolt Action rifle.
04/02/2023 - Pricing is pretty much settled
for now. My margins are the same as they have always been. The response to
the business restart has been mixed. I had a pretty good March and am trying
to build some inventory. As time goes on, I will attempt to post ammo
availability on the pricing page (not sure how I’m going to do that,
but I’ll think of something). I’m also toying with the idea of
starting a separate category of items for sale. I have an extensive guitar and music
gear collection and will need to scale it back a bit. I need to figure out
how I’m going to do that as well. I’m now officially a
Septuagenarian. Good time. 02/11/2023
- After almost 2 years of calamity
(no product, back injury, supply chain issue, etc.) I have managed to gather
enough components to start the ammo business up again. Unfortunately, prices
have skyrocketed. Primers went up
by a factor of 3x. Powder is up
25-35% and bullets have about the same increases depending on manufacturer. I
have new pricing and packaging options (only one option per item). I’m
still working on pricing and will be adjusting the numbers as I gather more
data from my OEM suppliers. I can no longer accept Credit or Debit
cards. Cash or a personal check
only. |

Brass Policies |
|
Brass policy is simple. I don't charge for the brass and I rarely buy it. I rely on range pickups and donations. So far, the vast majority of High-Power Rifle and Semi-Auto Pistol shooters have been pretty good about getting brass back to me and I will continue on with the honor system. Many of you have donated brass to help ensure the flow of ammo doesn't stop for lack of a component. Any brass up front is always welcomed. Returning brass is important and I do understand that sometimes logistics get in the way, so don't worry about it. As long as I get brass back at some point - that’s all that really matters. I don't charge for the ammo cans either so I need to get those back too. |

What it is... |
|
This is a part
time thing for me. By day I'm a Technical Consultant/Database
Developer/Data Analyst, etc. During the evenings and on weekends I make
ammo. I started out just to make ammo for myself to shoot in the
local area competitions. In 2005 I decided to get my FFL and
State License to sell ammo when the folks I had been purchasing ammo and
components from over the years informed me they could no longer ship these
items to Massachusetts. I don't have a retail store or shop in the traditional sense and usually meet first time ammo buyers at Mansfield Fish & Game in Mansfield, MA for deliveries. |

Pricing |
|
Pricing is based on the return of all spent cases to qmmo.net. Currently, I use the "honor" system to manage the return of spent material. While I don't reuse any boxes or bags, I do reuse bullet trays, ammo cans and (obviously) spent cases. Boxes wind up going into our local recycling program, so please take a few minutes when you've finished shooting to pick up the brass and packaging and return them to me when you get a chance. Doing so will keep our ranges cleaner and allow me to keep the ammo prices as low as I can. Click
