We’re happy to announce our new store location at 1130 Hospital Rd in Fort Walton Beach. It’s at the corner of Hospital and Lewis Turner Blvd just west of the Fairgrounds.
It’ll take us a few weeks to get everything up and running, so please call (850) 862-5486 or (573) 299-0341 before you make the drive to make sure we’re open. We’ll post hours once we have a firm date for the ‘Grand Opening’.

With the current shortages of common ammo, including bricks of domestic .22 long rifle, we’ve begun to see new ‘brands’ start to appear. One new brand (at least new to us) is “Centurion” .22 ammo now being sold in 500 round bricks.
This ammo is manufactured in Mexico and given the ‘A‘ headstamp on the brass it’s probably safe to assume it is made by Aguila.
We ran this ammo through a .22 Lever Action Henry rifle with a 4x scope at 50 yards to see how it’d group (10 rounds). While shot from a bench, we didn’t use any special rests. As a comparison, we also shot 10 rounds of Remington ‘Walmat Special’ .22lr ammo under the same conditions.
With the current shortages in reloading components, many of our customers have expressed an interest in bullet casting.
If you’re a scrounger, lead can be had cheap or free from tire shops, scrap yards, your local shooting range, plumbers, roofers, and a number of other places. A basic casting setup can be assembled for about $200 to which you add your consumables (lead, flux, lube, …), molds, and sizing dies. It doesn’t take a lot of casting to quickly ‘earn’ back your initial investment – especially if you cast for the higher handgun calibers or for rifles.
