  1. just more green junk from the left side. over all it cost more in the long run over a regular car.  
  2. the only place in tennessee that has ammo in stock and i mean lots of ammo in stock is benton shooters in benton tennessee.  but when you get there and see the prices you will understand why they got full shelves.  nobody in their right mind would pay their prices.  
  3. sold out and still high price.  but it is the lowest i have seen in weeks.  but still high prices and you got to pay the shipping.  
  4. when this 22 lr ammo problem levels out the 500 plus pack will be around $30.00 a pack.  i don't think we will see the low prices again.   if we would stop buying ammo the prices will start coming down.  also the gougers will be stuck with a bunch of high price ammo that they can not sell.  
  5. the truck will be in today at sportman's.  they will have some ammo behind the service desk.  the line will be long at 8 waiting to get in at 9. the line for ammo will be long until they run out.  you can get one or two boxes of each caliber.  in the back there will be no primers and very little powder.  they do not get much in. they do not limited the amount of reload supplies you can buy.  so it is gone fast.  last week they had several cases of 1k rounds of 308  ammo for sale.  forgot the price but it was somewhere around/between  $0.90 to $0.95 a round.  that is way they had it.  hard to come up with $800.00 plus tax for ammo at one time.  
  6. i have and still do use all three.  they are the old school powders.  the one you go to when you can not find any thing else.  aa #5 and/or titegroup will load just about every thing.  
  7. they been collecting info on us for years.  even the things that we say here.  
  8. 1970 - 1985 ford and/or chev truck will fit your bill.  easy to work on.  
  9. no body cares any more.  the last election showed that.  no matter what comes out the news people will not report it.  so the low information voter will never see or read anything that is bad again him.  
  10. i stopped at the new one in dalton georgia today.  the back ammo area was full of ammo at normal prices. all you wanted.  but the 22lr, 5.56, 308, 9mm, 40 and 45 was up front at the service desk.  one box per person up to three different calibers per day that ammo.  all prices were priced at the normal price.  
  11. Benton has all you want. Just $100.00 for a box of 525 rounds.
  12. old joe.  what a ass clown.  the problem is about 50% of the people are on his side of thinking.  we are doom.
  13. this was a big thing with older glocks.  the 40 s&w glocks were real bad.  glock has correct in some small manner the unsupported chamber.  i reload for several different calibers glocks and in all of them i use a after market barrel.  
  14. been there on tour many mango season ago.  nasty area for a war.  nothing like what we have done or seen  in the "sand box".   
  15. nice guns, but are hard to find these days.  
  16. what i am going to say will make some here mad.  before you buy a home system, any system, i would check on the respond time of the police.  if it take 20 minutes before they show up then you are wasting your money.  if it takes 5 minutes, you are still wasting your money.  does the alarm company call you first to see if you did not set the alarm off before calling the police?  if so more time more time wasted.   it take less than 5 minutes to steal you blind. the bad guys know how much time they have before the police arrive and they will be in and out with your stuff long before the police show up.  so you lose in two way, the stuff the bad guys steal and the money the alarm companies stead.  the only thing that i have seen that will work in today world is a big dog.  a big barking, mean looking dog inside your house has shown to stop more bad guys than the alarm company sign in the front yard. 
  17. used steve pages in the past.  great place to get information to work on guns.
  18. i got two large flocks at the farm.   went to the pole barn two days ago and four young toms were under the trailer.  they took off.  tried to get some picture with the phone.  the picture are not to good.  
  19. been there, done that and got the t-shirt.  over the years when i was a young man i sold cars that i should have kept. i would buy a so called muscle car cheap, drive it some and sell it off to get the next thing that came along.  55 chevs, chev ss,  64 mustang, vw of all kinds, dodges of all kinds.  dodges were the cheap cars of the day.  who would have known that these old cheap priced muscle cars would bring big cash now.  
  20. none to be found on their site now.
  21. your group will get the job done.  don't worry about it.  it is in the black.  your load seems ok.  but without a chronograph to check who knows.  surplus powder varies between batches.  i have found this to be true, my chronograph tells me so.  all so a 16 inch barrel will give you less pfs than a 20 inch barrel.  most load data is based on a 20 inch barrel.  now for the primers.  most small rifle primers are soft and will flatten some.  now the exception are cci military, wolf, and tula primers.  i like the tula and/or wolf 5.56 primers for my 5.56 loads.  they do not flatten out.  but if i use any other brand with the same load i get some flatting.   your group and load data seems good.  load up and shoot on. 
  22. just another atf, gbi, and ausa screw up.   no arrest, nothing seized.  no sticks, nothing on the table.  bet the return of the search warrant to the judge did not show anything that was seized on it. 
  23. I forgot about the 30 rounds ar mags that were priced at $30.00 each.  this was for the military mags that you could buy at under $10.00 at one time.  
  24. I know where there is tons of ammo for sale, but the problem is you don’t have enough money to buy much of it.   Went to Benton shooter supply today to look around.  They got tons of rifle and pistol ammo.  Lots of guns in the cases and on the walls.  When I walked in I could see that the ammo shelves were full.  Boxes of ammo all over the place. Never seen this much ammo in one place in a long time.  What I can see with their prices they will have them for a long time. Old army ammo cans on the floor full of 5.56.  But then you walk up and see the prices you will jump back like you have step on a snake.  A box of 525 rounds of Winchester 22 lr is marked $100.00.  We got big problems when 22 lr ammo is $100.00 a box for 525 rounds.  9mm is over $40.00 a box of 50 and that is for the cheap brand.  The bigger boxes of 9mm were sky high.  45acp and 40 s&w are the same as the 9mm, higher than normal.  Tula 7.62x39 is $15.00 for 20 rounds. This is the Wal-Mart $4.99 box of Tula ammo at the $15.00 dollar price.  The 5.56 ammo was so high I blew the top of my head off looking at it.  30 caliber ammo cans with 5.56 priced over $300.00 for 250 rounds.  I should have written down the ammo prices, but I went into shock and could not think for a while. They had some basic bushmaster AR’s that were priced around $1,400.00.  I look at the primers and powder prices and I almost had to call 911. Thanks for David when I need reloading supplies.  There were lots of people in the store looking at the ammo. They would pick up the 22 ammo and all most drop it when they saw the price.  Best show that I have seen in a long time was when I was standing next to the 22 lr ammo. I was in the store for some time and did not see any ammo/guns sales. Saw lots of picking it up and putting it down fast. 
  25. i have shot some of their 308 trophy gold 168 gr hpbt.  it was just as good as name brand ammo.  come to think about it,, it was better than named brand and at the time lower price.  midway use to sell it
