The Skinny on "Canned Heat"?

[Mister Joshua]

Anyone care to enlighten me on the following? Specifically talking about .357 sig for my P229 (can't pay 17.00 a box for lawman at the range anymore)

1) They are reloads, but they are (among general consensus here) very high quality factory loads, yes?


2) The statement, "We cnnot ship untill we have: A copy of your driver's licence or concealed handgun license and a signed affidavit stating "ther are no laws prohibiting me from owning ammunition, I am 21 years or older." We need this only once by mail or fax (770/459-1904)" (ps, that is copy/pasted, the spelling is pretty rough on that page... :)) - Does that affidavit require basically a printed doc with your signature stating what they have requested, or do you actually have to get such a doc notarized?

3) Once ordered (I plan to order by phone), about how long does it take to get to your door?

4) How do people feel about their gold dot and regular fmj rounds?

All I did was type in the "statement" on a piece of paper and ran it through the xerox machine with my driver license (this was in days before i had a scanner) and NO, you don't have to have it notarized.

Canned heat is very high quality reloaded ammo. I've bought and shot several thousand loads with no problem.

I use their regular GOld DOt (new) ammo in numerous calibers as defense loads.

It may take a couple of days up to a week for them to ship your order depending on the demand for whatever ammo you're buying.

My suggestion is to get a bunch of friends together on a group purchase...$500 minimum...and get free shipping.

Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately, my best friend fires .45 ACP, and gets CCI Blazers for cheaper than the canned heat - although the canned heat is cheaper in .357 sig than the .45, something that I have never seen anywhere else (but wished it was true everywhere!). So, no chance of going in with a few friends, I may be able to talk my other .357 sig buddy into a 1k case for himself and myself getting 1k as well, but getting 4,000 or more will take some work.
