On the way home from church, I asked my wife reckon why there's so many cars parked at our neighbor's house. She told me it's the super bowl.
Super Bowl? Is that the game they play on ice?

The wife sees me at the bench pulling the lever handle and believes I'm saving us money. I don't want to confuse her with the facts.

From a firearm standard if you pay Gallatin TN wages you get Gallatin TN Berettas. If you’ve ever seen the Beretta factory tours in Italy… that’s the reason you’re going to pay more for their higher end products. They invested in their people and retain them.
Dang, I'm not sure I want to get a Maryville-made S&W now. A friend of mine almost got hired when they opened the factory here last year but something fell through. I talked with a local gun dealer and he said that there are S&W assembly workers who are only making about $16/hr. My friend got a mechanic's job at a car dealership and is making a lot more than that.

When I turned wrenches for an airline I used @10-Ring's buying philosophy. If I brought a tool out of my box every three or four months, It was probably stamped Made in Taiwan. If I used it every day, I bought the best I could afford, which was probably Snap-On or USA-made Craftsman. Calibrated precision tools were provided by the employer.
Being from Texas, the wife and I have a love for Gulf Coast brown shrimp. Most of what you buy in the store here are from Indonesia, Chile or Vietnam. We've had to make several costly trips to Alabama to buy off the boat from an American shrimper. Publix now offers shrimp from Texas so that will save us considerably. Funny thing is, a lot of the catch is probably by a Vietnamese-American crew.

How about a tax on organic veggies and lattes to stop DEI training in schools?

Everglades is usually my go to, @DUXBUSTER, but I thought surely there's somebody in TGOLand that's overstocked. Remember, I got cash money!

Thanks, @ArmyBrat61
I've got a deal working with another member but I'll keep Bass Pro in mind. I'd rather help a TGO'r sell his stock, but it's nice to have a backup.

American Reloading has some 9mm projectiles in stock.
I've never used pulled bullets before, but they're just for training anyway. Thanks, Darrell.

I could use 250-500 qty. 9mm bullets of any standard grain. I prefer plated, but will take metal case. No cast lead.
I can trade you with 40 cal. if you need 'em.

Take your time and be methodical.
Amen to that. I practice a shell placement system that helps me to keep track of where I'm at in the process:
1. I start with the case mouths up in the tray and turn each one mouth down after priming. When I see the primers on all the cases, I know I didn't miss any.
2. The cases go mouth up after each gets its powder drop and I verify the level with a flashlight after the run is finished.
3. I push the bullet snugly into every case before seating to keep out contaminants and prevent accidental spillage.
4. The cartridge is placed in a separate container after the bullet is seated so I don't mix them up with the others.
Following this process, I've never had a kaboom or a fizzle.

Remember the "ladder method." Start with the minimum load data and work up to the maximum in tenths of grain increments. I usually find a load my guns like somewhere in the middle. It saves powder and excessive wear on the firearm, too. There are many horror stories out there from guys who started on the high end and sorely regretted it.
If you can shoot in a place that allows you to set up a chronograph, buy one. It's a great tool for finding acceptable velocities and estimating pressures.
