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? View Quote I'd personally get a 550 over a 650, or a 1050 if you are going to load a TON of ammo. |

I've been reading threads like these for 10 years. Ammo / AR prices haven't been this low in a long time, so i just bought some more. I remember the last panic (that subsided) and plan on having plenty to sell to the next batch of world is gonna end crew.

I’m trying to add slowly. Bought a new receiver + stamp, 16lbs of rifle powder, 1000 projectiles, a few misc. AR parts, plus ordered a Glock 20, all in two weeks.
I just want a free shipping deal at Primary. I have shit in my cart. |

Quoted: Tt will really suck if you use your spare parts to build new guns, and a part breaks down the road, forcing you to cannibalize a working gun, to repair a nonworking gun (my emphasis added). ( not saying you in particular don't have spare parts ) Spare parts are cheap right now, theres no reason to not have a box / emergency only repair kit with a spare lower receiver build kit, upper receiver build kit, spare BCG, spare bolt, and a few bolt repair kits / extractors etc. You could probably get most of that for $100 bucks right now, and it would ensure your rifles will be running trouble free decades from now, ban or no ban.

If a functioning firearm breaks/malfunctions, I won't be cannibalizing a working firearm, the broken/malfunctioning firearm will become a spare parts donor if needed. Same with BCG's, I have 12 Colt BCG's I got from SA when Chris first started selling them, knew those would be gone before long. |

Im planning on doing some shooting this weekend with a few family members who are coming into town, so today I worked on my range a little, painted targets, and cleaned up a little bit, and added a few new targets. Later this year im planning on building the berms bigger, but what I have right now works great for my use.
This is the 200 yard targets, which are also the pistol targets. Attached File Table for shooting pistols / holding guns / cases etc. Attached File 200 yard rifle table. Attached File I have markers and berms every 50 yards. Attached File Attached File |

Just ordered an MBT to replace a cheaper trigger in a lower that gets a lot of mileage. Cheapo will become a spare. I also threw a 30 round Lancer L5AWM into the cart. Every gun related online purchase gets a mag thrown in the cart now.

Where did you find the CCI SV at that price? That's the best suppressed .22 round I've used. The stuff even killed a coyote at about 50 feet that intent on catching one of my laying hens. 3 rounds as fast as a 10/22 can cycle did the trick with no noise other than the bolt working, I was really impressed with the CCI and that's what I prefer to stockpile. |

Broke down and got a TS membership. Now with so many places charging tax and freight they were going to take most of my ammo money with standard pricing anyway.

got another 1k of cci sv today (i have well over 15k but shoot a lot), a few hundred 12ga rounds today (hunting and trap this week), 1500 9mm from psa coming friday. been stocking for a while but again i shoot a lot.

I have been saying that 2020 is going to bring with it another 2008/2012esque panic. Plan accordingly.
Anyone who hasn't learned from history is going to be left without... at least until the supply can catch up again. Or if new legislation comes into play, that may not be an option. I suspect the CA ammunition regulation is going to be the model for other states, just like the AWB was. State-level legislation is a massive risk. More PSA Federal 5.56 and Fiocchi 9x19 inbound. |

Well, after the New Zealand AWB, watch the panic set in early

I just impulse bought me a GSG 110 Round drum mag for my 10/22. It was on clearance at Sportsman's. Is it any good? or did I get screwed?
