I live in Arkansas but this could also be a federal thing. There is a local auction house that does estate sales. they sell extates that either people are just wanting to sell off their things, or someone has passed on and the family does not want to do it them self's. They sell a lot of modern...

Logic and critical thinking is just not something instilled in the youth today or the last couple of generations. I bought gold when it was 435 an oz and silver in the 4 bucks an oz range. Right now all you can do is buy the dips. As the dumbocraps keep lighting their cities on fire by releasing...

I agree. I am not going to sell the primers, but to use them for range ammo will be fine. I will load up some 45 ACP and run them in my series 70.

I have several guns I have never shot. Out of my ARs I will sell some on the next panic. If you don't stock up you are at the mercy of the powers that be. Its very hard to stock up once there is a shortage, ban or some other issue. Anyone who thinks that there will always be food on the shelf...

That is crazy. I have about 27 pounds of powders. So I am good for a long bit. I think I paid 15 bucks for a pound for some, others 29 bucks a pound. This will pass most likely, but you never know. One time it will be the new normal.

I don't have to borrow. I have 7 1911s. All Colts but one Remington Rand WW2. I would assume you are right. That does not make the primers good. Just they need to be struck harder than most good primers. I bet one of my 357 mags would do the same. Its still a range only primer

What I bought was .62 cents a round. A good add in some more ammo to the stock pile. Anything you need to have a supply of is what Warre Buffet said about stocks. When others are running to buy you sell, they they are selling and blood is in the water you buy.

I know a lot of shooter who parrot the same I will not stock up. I only buy what I need. Does not work out for them. They whine like a liberal at a pro terrorist rally when they can not find ammo or primers ect. Trump is not a locked in win. My brother sold all his reloading equipment, ammo...

First off I trust the Remington Rep more than any arm chair warrior. Don't stock up. Thats on you. I have stocked over 50k in just 22lr. When I was going to the range in 2013-15 and few people were there because they could not source or afford to buy ammo. Good luck with that.

I use corn media dry. I use a reamer for primer pockets to clean the pocket. I have never had any issue with primers before this. It happened with these primers on my wife's PPK and my Ruger. There are several posts on Youtube showing the same issue, and others who have blogged about it. Its...

I have been stacking ammo since 1988.. I paid 2.5 dollars a box of 20 for a 1000 case of Norinco non corrosive 223 ammo. Its worked well. I have a bit of 12 gauge but the shop had a sale on 3 inch 00 buck. If you don't stack it you will be sorry. I lived through several spells where you just...

I doubt that very much.

It is absolutely not a seating issue. I pressed every one on every priming system two or three times to make sure they were seated well. I would say it could be a hard primer or batch of primers that were not made up to spec. It could be a combo of the Ruger SR9 and a hard primer or defective...

Could be the hardness, could be the lot I got these from. But in the end these are only good for range ammo. Not a primer that one should put their life on the line. I would avoid these unless you can not get anything else, then only for range.

That is a toss up. After doing a bit or searching the shotgun ammo seems to be a real thing. But I also found that many are saying gun manufactures having a hard time keeping up with demand. Gun prices right now are insane. I saw at the local range a used Ruger Blackhawk in good condition they...
