"Lake City" Ammo Available

[nbender]

Here's another offering from MFS.

I don't know this outfit and I haven't contacted them, but they are advertising the "Lake City" ammo made by MFS in Hungary and imported by Armscorp. I see the ad says "1 box in stock but can get more". This bullet travels slightly faster than the 9x18 MFS "+P".

nbender,

This is exceptional work you have done by providing us with this information....THANK YOU!

After "normsutton" posted that SG had it on sale, I bought some!

abwehr, this is dirrerent stuff than the MFS "+P" that SG is selling. It costs a bit more; $9.99 if you buy 5 boxes or more vs the "Club Price" of $9.28 at SG. The shipping costs may make up the difference - SG is getting a notorious rep for their shipping expense. And, the Lake City travels a little bit faster - 1024 vs 981 fps.

What did you pay for the +P, including shipping?

nbender,

I goofed, you are right, it is not the MFS, but the info is great! The club price at SG was $95 for 600 rds and the shipping is $12.99. I will keep the brass and get me some bullets and reload them. This should keep me in ammo for a while.
