I wouldn't suggest Venmo. It doesn't have any type of buyer/seller protection. GunTab does. I prefer paypal for most things. But once I get over a certain amount, say a few hundred, we're into...

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...
