    The going price for primers in these uncertain times.

    I’m down to 2500 BR2, I don’t shoot them that much and it was a shocker to see how much they are. Now days.

    Clean burning pistol powders

    I said I was in a mood..... anyways, some of it has to do with the powder and some of it has to do with the load. I use bullseye for .45 and have loads for 9, 40, and .38 and it’s a fairly clean burning powder but I don’t like beating up my 1911s so I load them soft which results in a dirtier...

    Trying to find primers.

    I remember that kinda thing. I bought from them about 4 years ago but it seemed very Fred Sanford ....like a couple guys that got in hot water with their wife’s for dumping their 401K’s into surplus ammo and were ordered to sell it.. made a business out of it and the website admin is one of...

    Trying to find primers.

    I’ve actually bought a fair chunk of surplus milsurp ammo from them some years ago. Agreed that they looked sketchy but the ammo all arrived and was just like they said at a very good price. Edit, 2016 I spent $900 got 1080 7n6 with crate and can opener, 440 7.62X54R spam can, and 1k Speer...

    Help me hoard high end rifles before elections

    That actually sounds like fun. I’ve never shot competition so how about a $100 wager and I’ll pay my own entrance. You have a distinct advantage. I’ll bring my K98 with factory WWII sites and surplus ammo. see how it does.

    its not something you’re going to lose money on if you don’t buy ar the peak. I’ve seen research showing ammo tracks better than the S&P.

    Help me hoard high end rifles before elections

    If you have more than one AR, really, 1 LPK and a bolt would cover you. You can get a better price on a BCG if you are ging to build AR’s I’d buy a few spare front takedown detent and springs LOL. I’ve built enough that I don’t lose those anymore but there was a time when I would send them...

    I know, but I was making a point. BUIS is of no use if you only know how to shoot with an optic.

    My now 10 year old was 5 when we built this. http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=1031129 I just gave the oldest boy a 22lr frontier scout when he was 5 and when he was 10, we built him a 12“ M4 from stripped aero precision upper and lower. If a 10-year-old can do it, you can...

    Clean burning pistol powders

    It’s like brushing your teeth, clean your guns. I must be in a mood but here goes: Seriously, you are choosing a powder, not for performance for even just simple availability, you want to pick a powder so you don’t have to clean so much? Seriously? Maybe you should look into a different hobby...

    I should have asked here first. Oh well, did I waste my money?

    I got the Caldwell, and i did a quick look but came up short, I’d like to get several of the Picatinny rail adapters. I hear they do sell them separately.

    I should have asked here first. Oh well, did I waste my money?

    I’m pretty good wit a pistol, I like shooting steel with my 1911‘s out past 100 yards.And with my sig in .357sig, I‘ve been known to shoot 50 cent sized groups at the back of the indoor range.

    Good thinking. Do I need to do the same with my new handgun brass?

    I should have asked here first. Oh well, did I waste my money?

    Yea, I don’t know what I’m doing with all the brass I have, probably 3K mixed. .223. Either seal a meal it and deep store it way up high or sell It. I did have a recent KB and I think the cause was som older FC factory ammo, the ammo came from a 50 cal can full of random .223. I’m going to...

    Either way, I’m going to be miles ahead of the mixed headstamp I’m using now?

    I should have asked here first. Oh well, did I waste my money?

    Is this stuff any good? I’m tired of dealing with mixed headstamps and trying to make them work so this seemed like a good value from a trusted brand but should I try to cancel my order and go a different rout...
