Bulk .45

Glenn — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:49:15 GMT

Does anyone know a place in the knoxville area that might have bulk 45 acp? I have a chance this weekend to shoot a Thompson and a grease gun if I can get some ammo but can't afford much at the prices I have been finding. It's too short of notice to order from out of town.

Problem with primer insertion

m&pc9 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:07:38 GMT

I have a lee pro 1000 that I bought off another member. It is working very good now I have all the kinks out of it. One problem I am having is that it will insert the primer in sideways about 5% of the time.
It works better when I clean the primer chute out but it always starts back within 100 rounds.

Any suggestions?

Damp Ammo?

eapking — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:59:14 GMT

Had a bit of a problem this week. Bathtub flooded into the next room where I had my ammo stacked on the floor. I got most of it out in time, but missed some boxes hidden in a corner. Found the rest tonight. They didn't get wet, but the boxes got slightly damp. I'd say they sat this way for 3 days. They were all packed in trays (styrofoam or plastic) inside the boxes. The were some of my better JHP ammo (of course). They never got wet, but I'd say the humidty factor was pretty high being inside those damp boxes. Think they're okay? Argh....:poop:

380 Ammo In Stock Now - PMC & Magtech

darob — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:23:09 GMT

Good quality PMC & Magtech 380 target ammo is available now from surplusammo.com. This stuff will be gone fast, so if you need some act quickly. PMC is especially good quality. I deal with these suppliers all the time, and their prices are reasonable... unlike many of our local dealers. You can get a 500 rd case of PMC for around $200... which comes out to about $20 for a 50 rd box ($20 for shipping from west coast). luckygunner.com also has 380 in stock. Nope, I'm not a seller, nor do I get a commision... just providing a community service to my fellow 380 users!!! Yeeeee Haaaaa! yosemite-samm@usa.net.

Reloading for profit

gregintenn — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:34:54 GMT

I like reloading. Several people I come into regular contact with have asked if I'd relaod ammo for them. I'd like to, but in the litigious society in which we live, the prospect of an accident happening scares me to death. I know guys who do this and haven't had any problems. I fear someone having an accident, my fault or not, and sueing me for everything I've worked hard to accumulate. Do any of you do this, and do you have any suggestions of how to legally proctect myself from frivilous lawsuits if I decide to try my hand at relaoding for the public.

bullet puller

m&pc9 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:50:48 GMT

I am needing a bullet puller. I know nothing (in the voice of Sgt. Shults) about bullet pullers.

Does this style work, or is there a better one.

Or will a vise and a pair of pliers work just as good.

Pow'R Ball FTE Issue in Taurus PT709 Slim

ahaus — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:50:23 GMT

Hello All,

I'm a newbie here at TGO and to handgun ownership in general. I recently became interested in handguns and just last week received my Carry Permit in the mail. Being that the next logical step was to pick up gun, on Halloween I bought a Taurus PT709 Slim, a couple boxes of PMC Bronze and a box of 20 Pow'R Ball SD rounds by Glaser.

I took it out to a friends property and ran the 100 rounds of PMC through it with no issues. I then switched to the Pow'R Ball but kept two full magazines + 1 for carry purposes; this left only 5 rounds of the Pow'R Ball to test them out. Of those 5 rounds I experienced 2 FTEs. I didn't have any of the PMC rounds left to test wether it was the gun or the ammo so I had to wait until today.

I picked up another 2 boxes of the PMC (come to think of it I should have switched brands) and experienced the same results, zero failures with the PMC. I again switched to the Pow'R Ball rounds and experienced the same as the day before; 2 FTEs per magazine. That is not the kind of reliability I expect from a SD round!

Has anyone else experienced issues with Pow'R Ball ammunition? I can say for certain that I won't be carrying it. If there is another PT709 owner here, what do they carry for a SD round?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Repeatability

Ramblinbill — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 16:17:44 GMT

I need a little help here.
I�m working up hunting loads for my 280. My last 4 shot group yesterday was 7/8� at 100 yards.
I left the rifle and the ammo outside in a shed all night to duplicate hunting conditions this morning.
My first 3 shot group was even smaller. I really thought I had my load.
I left rifle and ammo in the shade for an hour and shot another group. This one was 3 inches.
WTH � has this happened to anybody else?
The scope is a Leupold and is tight.
Any help would be appreciated.
