At the peak of the crunch, they were advertising MiniMags for, I believe, $29.95 per hundred. Since then, their catalog has gone straight from the mailbox to the trash.
What fresh Hell is this?

Never tried them as I recall. I just won't buy from blatant gougers when there are plenty of suppliers out there that don't hose their customers just because they can. If they've got what you want at a price you like, go for it.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Yeah, CTD has been the absolute last place I'd buy from for a couple of years now.

Price gougers that are no friends of the firearm community IMO. I'm with the others in that CTD will never see a dime from me.

Federal Gold Medal Ultra Match is my all time favorite. Right up there with Tenex and RWS50 in my guns, and often better. I'm down to my last two bricks of it from a superlative lot from 18 years ago. When it is gone I shall cry.

It is good stuff Ned and thanks for the heads up but like the others indicated CTD will never get any business from me. PennDog

Yup, their catalog (Cheaper than gold)goes into the recycle bin. I don't even open it either. Their management is a good textbook example of the "American business method of greed and short term planning". I wonder how long they will stay in business?

CDNN and PSA are also gougers.

That's not the greatest deal but I don't think that comes near gouging territory either..
A few days ago they had 500 round bricks of federal blue box for 35 and free shipping at 3 or more bricks with no limit.
Recently got 17HMR for $10/box free shipping also..
Not tryin to argue with you but my experience has certainly differed..

Let's see: Couldn't cut a deal with Dealer A on vehicle 3 years ago, because he was asking too much. But, this year he is beating the competition or is reasonable and he has what I want. But, nope I'll go someplace else because of 3 years ago.
Please name a couple wholesalers that were drastically cutting the competition back when .22lR was hard to find.

I don't quite think that's fair comparison...and there were several dealers that didn't raise their .22 prices to gouger levels during the crunch.. Powder valley Grafs Sgammo Champion shooter supply, to name just a few
