Our last trip to Stone river gun range they were $3 per 100.

Being banned didn't stop dad from coming back in under another name. The boys down south wanted reloading supplies and DLM wouldn't make a trip. Dad took a parttime job for a bit. Rules in our retirement is we can't get extra income. So he lost his retirement for 3 months. Dad made a deal with DLM. He'd sell the supplies the boys wanted, collect payment then DLM would deliver. All supply prices were through DLM. We had a funeral in Grenada the coming weekend. Mules were arranged to get supplies farther south. Dad had sold close to $3,000 in supplies. He called DLM to make sure of the order. Found out someone didn't want to deal through dad. DLM was making a special trip to Jackson, MS the same weekend. Said he wouldn't sell enough to cover his trip. He was right, didn't have enough of what they wanted. About a quarter of what dad had sold for him. Dad had to return the money cheapest he could. Check 25 cents. stamp 45 cents 75 times. He barrowed that money from me and closed the checking account after emptying it. DLM came online and said dad was under selling his supplies. He was banned without a chance to defend himself.

He was banned before defending his actions in a transaction that went bad. He traveled to east TN to inspect some reloading equipment and supplies before buying. The seller set up a sale before he got there. Most that wasn't sold or the owner would be taking with him was junk. A lot of stuff that wasn't reloading related, western movies, magazines, books, kitchen sink. Dad talked to DLM after seeing what was offered. "I've seen it, I offered him $50 for everything. Figured I'd sit on it for a long time before getting my money back."

No telling why others aren't replying. How many are still active in our area? How many have been offended by other's comments and left? I would like to change my username to my dad's, most likely get banned for something he didn't do.

Got it on my calendar.

American Reloading had 9mm 115 gr fmj blems $55 per thousand. I ordered 4,000. State tax, no shipping fee.

I stopped at Avery's in Memphis Tuesday. A pretty good display of powders, $80 to 110 per bottle. Price on a jug was $199. A few primers @ $9 per pack. 100 box of bullets were about the price of 50 rds of the same caliber of pistol.

I replied in the other thread. I don't do restaurants except call in/carry out. Maybe meet at a park. There's a lot to choose from. Grill lunch if we have too. Select a date, time about 9 am till 2 pm or so. Make a food/supply list.

I don't do restaurants except call in/carry out. Maybe meet at a park. There's a lot to choose from. Grill lunch if we have too. I'd bring a grill, charcoal, table, a couple of chairs and a cooler for drinks.

Tommy is all I remember from the coworker from Munford. Smith is all I know from the husband in Atoka, retired Memphis fireman.

Since we had a good breeze yesterday I casted almost a pint jar of 358-120 RN before my leg gave me some pain. Put them in a quart jar, added a couple of lumps of Alox and twisted the jar every which way for 5 minutes. A little to much Alox so I'll add more bullets today. I found a video that looked good. The guy filled a sheet pan with bullets standing up. Poured melted crayons in to cover the lube groves. They were 358's. He had swagged a 357 case that a bullet would fall into the case. Had a spring loaded push rod through the primer pocket. After the wax hardened he'd push the case onto a bullet, twist, pull the bullet out and press the bullet from the case. The bullets had a thin coat of wax, removed when pressed through the sizing die. A good idea but a bit more work than I want to do. For a softer lube could use toilet wax rings.

Welcome from Horn Lake, MS I use to work with a guy that did a little reloading from Munford. A classmate lives in Atoka, her 3rd husband reloads some.

Dad used Lee Alox and White Alox that was sold on ebay. Both work the same. Stick a cookie sheet or board in a shopping bag and lay the coated bullets on it. Set them up to cure a month before sizing. Then into a labeled jar. I loaded 1,000 in the past 2 weeks that are 10 years and got very little Alox on my fingers. I read a thread somewhere that Alox was mixed with Johnson & Johnson paste wax and something else. Was wondering if money was saved doing it and if it was a better coating. Sad, we let some threads pass without thinking about putting them in a sticky folder.

Is there a thread for homemade bullet lube?

Got them pulled yesterday morning. Glad granddaughter came along, she drove us home. A stop at the drugstore for Hydrocodone for pain. Took one when I got home and took a 4 hour nap. To keep my mine off of the teeth I loaded 1,000 38spl the past week. Ready for range time. Not this weekend, both sons have to work. I found bags of 70, 205 38spl and 80 357 last night. Got them decapped, cleaned pockets and expanded. Ready to the tumbler with polish today. I feel good enough to get out and shop but will stay home and give it time to heal. I know I'd find someone to talk with while out
