I just wish I was old enough to have been around during the Chinese ammo imports.... I would have bought a garage full of that stuff.

That's a good one.... Those 550 packs of Remmington and CCI .22LR were something like $10/pc. Also, you could get Winchester White Box 9mm in loose pack 100rd boxes for $7.99. Still have one or...

Never saw the S&B primers, but I have never been a big Cabelas, or Bass Pro, fan... I've only recently come to appreciate them, as I can order primers and have them shipped to the store which is...

I kind of remember that... I also remember they were selling 50BMG from I think J&G sales for like $1/rd... That was also back when you could buy a 50BMG AR-15 Upper for like $1200...

I can remember, when you could get an SKS along with the 1k of Wolf for around $80-90. I also remember when them Nagant revolvers couldn't be given away for $40-50, now they're priced about...
I feel that in my bones. Gunsmithing prices have almost priced out the gun owner...
Edit: That said, firearms have almost priced themselves out of reach for the average owner as well...

I love cauliflower and broccoli... I also like Eggplant when it's cooked right... Not to mention Brussel Sprouts...
They make great compliments to the Ribeye steak - the best cut of steak in...

So I saw this posted on a different platform the other day. I thought I would share it here, as several members have previously thought I mixed up dates, and the prices like this were from much...

My understanding is that Trailboss is no longer in production, it was discontinued. Thus the outrageous prices, even in comparison to other hard to get powders right now. There really isn't a good...
Something you may consider, if it's just the necks that are getting split, and the brass is otherwise in good shape, trim them down to Schofield or 45 Auto Rim (Cowboy Special) length, and load them...

I was at the range a while back with my 9mm SBR, see below, while shooting my 115gr load (4.2gr Red Dot @ 1.115" OAL - I've since reduced this to 1.110" OAL which doesn't have this issue) I suddenly...
I agree with you. After having researched this quite a bit, it does seem to do what it claims to do. And I think those in opposition to it based on it's capability are extremely biased. But...

I have the Lube Groove version of this mold. I BELIEVE it's a clone of the Saeco 928 mold. You can search for data related to that mold, it should open up some possibilities for you.
Also, if...
Thanks for the reply, Gus.
I actually do carry a small wheel gun more than anything else, defensive wise. Though I do own small semi-autos. The small wheel gun just serves my needs better.
Definitely needed. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone really kept track of them. At least that is the impression I get.
Reading this thread the other day got me thinking about this article. I had to go through my old magazines to find it. Once I did I found a scanned copy here. This article is a must for anyone...

You mentioned in the video you weren't sure of the powder, it's written right there, 1F Swiss!
Your father had a very nice rifle, and I'm sure you'll treasure it. Great video!
Thanks! It's a awesome round, that is very much overlooked. Mostly because of a lack of commercial guns chambered in it. I've been wanting an AR chambered in it for some time. I found that PMAG...
Very nice. I've been looking at doing a similar build. Boy have those 1858s gone up in price though. I remember a few years back you could buy one at Bass Pro for like $200-240. Now, they're...
A pointy stick is better than no stick at all. 32s have the flexibility to keep your options open. I would never see that as a bad idea.
I think we all feel that way. I bought my first primers in 10 years about 6 months ago. Big change from the $20/1k Wolf primers I was buying back then. Literally 5x the price over the course of a...

It's got a bit of Antimony in it. But no tin. I add about 2% myself... That said, she advertises it as 12 BHN, but I haven't tested it - I don't have a way to. That said, based on her analysis of...

Hell, one would have thought this was already the case with how they've doubled the price on the powders they were selling.... I haven't been buying powder. And Alliant hasn't even been something...
