You spent too much on your other purchases and forgot the case feeder for your 650 |

Quoted: Way, way, way, way cheaper to just buy a shit load of brass and stash it. Brass is not the weak link, its primers, and powder first....then bullets, then brass last. You could probably buy a rail car full of brass / 50,000 lbs of brass a lot cheaper than getting the tooling to make them yourself. View Quote |

Psa runs free shipping seals as well. My problem is I'm running out of space unless I start storing it in the garage or attic. The wife got mad when I put it on her side of the closet View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Midsouth has a pretty good deal on Hornady 55gr cannelure 250 for 19.39$. And spear 147gr 100 for 11.56$.

This thread has been costing me lately. If I don't think about it it's easy to forget current prices are most likely a great anomaly.
Any suggestions on good lpk deals? Schuyler has Aero builder kits for $19, but the shipping always gets me. |

This is a great thread for anyone who may need a reminder to get what they need now.
I vividly remember the insanity that was the 2013 panic. At that time I was overseas and due to many factors, had neither any firearms nor any ammo. I started looking online and remember seeing Bushmaster Carbons listed for over $2K Pucker moment for sure. It was terrible. Ammo was even worse. There simply wasn't any. Even the most obscure, shitty parts/ammo was all out of stock. Went home and huge local gun stores had bare walls. As soon as things improved (miraculously) I built a rifle and started the ammo fort. Sure it's been said here before, but don't just buy firearms, buy the replacement parts it will take to keep them running - stuff that is separate from the "spare parts" bin. We are always one day away from those $2k Bushmaster Carbons and empty ammo shelves. |

Spent time yesterday going through the AR's; I've begun to question the 'why' of owning unfired safe queens. I don't have any children, and I've really no one to leave them to, so what am I saving them for? Decided it was time to start enjoying them; a restricted markings LE6920, an LT6720R, the second '18 M4A1 SOCOM, and a 6920 EPR are coming out to play. Time to go hands on with them and start setting them up; optics are going to be first ::ouch:: Decided on the 5 range toys/lower tier AR's that are leaving. Talked with the LGS and we're going to do a trade; those 5 for 5.56 and 9mm ammo. The LGS stocks cases of Federal and CCI at fairly close to online pricing, so it's going to work out well; remove the AR's that live in my closet and replace them with ammo, and 4 unfired Colt AR's to start enjoying...

Decided I needed to start stocking up more this week, even more after NZ. Bought a 7.5” PSA 300 BO pistol kit, 420 rounds of 62gr green tip, and 500 rounds of 300 BO 220gr. Wolf Gold was already out stock at TargetSports last night, hopefully this isn’t the end of the salad days.

Was going to buy some more ammo,and after looking at my inventory on my spreadsheet im good

I will never do business with Cheaper Than Dirt or any of the other price gougers ever again. Have stuck to it too. That period didn't hurt me much because I had already stacked up pretty good, but the pricing went cray cray. And obama didn't do crap. Hope they go out of business.

Duly noted. It amazed me right after Sandy Hook how fast things can go from "normal" to "Oh shit the shelves are empty". It seemed to happen overnight around here. I remember going to Academy on the Sunday following the incident and every thing seemed well-stocked and calm. IIRC Obama made some bullshit speech about gun control on Tuesday around noon. That afternoon out of curiosity I went back. Complete madhouse with all gun-related things flying off the shelves. It really made an impression on me to this day just how quickly things can change.

Man, I am burning through my primers.
Last night at the range I picked up a bunch a .45 Colt, ACP, .38, and 556 brass too. |
|
I went ahead and splurged on a Zenith Z-5RS. All my future funds will be directed to more primers/bullets for a while. Gonna buy some extra brass too. I have a long list of stuff to purchase. I had to jump on the MP5 though. I worried I might never be able to get one if I waited too long.
I need to buy these next: 5k 9mm bullets 5k 45ACP bullets 2k 55gr FMJ bullets 10k primers Mags Brass Uppers Parts More guns Edit: I'm going to save this list. These are my 2019 goals. |

I have been toying with the idea of starting to reload. One of my coworkers knew that and told me her dad was getting rid of some powder and asked would I take it off his hands.
Just picked it up and apparently he gave me 20 lbs of IMR 4064. Is that a lot? As far as I can tell a Dillon 650 is good to go, right? Where do I go from here? |
