Double D Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Has anybody here ever gone online for ammunition much?I have a 30-40 Krag that my son has been using for deer hunting, and the ammo is dwindling down for the old girl. I found some the other day and about had a stroke at the store price. I checked cheaper than (soil-youknowwhat) and they had 1 company that made them as a reload at a reasonable price.#1 - The company was called Bitterroot Valley Ammunition, does anybody have any experience#2 - I have heard of the HSOforum, any one have much experience there#3 - Should I be scared to use reload ammo for deer huntingThanks.DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archerysniper Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Bitteroot valley ammo is good ammo, I also get a deal on their ammo my buddies wife works their You could also call wolfs den in hugo and see what they have they have lots of oddball calibers and the 30.40 kraig isn't that uncommon.

BigRock Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have read reviews that BVA ammo is suspect at best. I will state that I do not trust everything I read as far as reviews go. It looks like your experiences have been good with this ammo, Archerysniper. That's good. BVA carries some ammo I'd like to purchase. 30-40 Krag is a caliber I'd like to get. One of my relatives has a WWII vintage rifle in this caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double D Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Archerysniper, I have checked a number of stores. I have found this caliber, but always at $37 per box or more. I cringe at the thought of a 15 year old taking target practice at $2/shot until he can handle my 30-06 (I am taking the Krag back then!!)Bigrock, it is kind of a nice caliber. Mine is a model 1898. My great uncle got it when he got out of WW1 in 1918. The local American Legions also sold them around that time, pretty cheap from what I understand.My dad bought a box of 30-40 ammo in the late 40's from the local legion hall. I still have the empty box. Price: $1.35.DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallTom Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I think you can buy low recoil .30-06 ammo for less than $30/ box. I know Hornady makes some actual-factual low recoil stuff. Or, if you just look for a really light bullet weight, that would be lower recoil also.And maybe your son can handle more recoil than you think...
