Go to WalMart and buy one of the Federal 100 packs or Remington 40 or 50 round packs (not sure how many there are). Both of these ammo types are turning up again but you may have to visit several stores to find it in stock.

It is not against the law to sell a firearm at a profit without an FFL! You're making up law as you go to support your arguments. Now we're off into the twilight zone. You don't need a business license to sell some of your ammo either.

At least the stimulus plan is helping the ammo manufacturers!

I think you would be better off if the range could face North or Northeast. Ranges that face South are a major problem due to the sun. Aurora Gun Club is a major problem from Fall through Spring because the sun is low in the sky and always in your eyes in the afternoon. North would be far better.

I carry either Winchester Ranger or Federal HydraShok +p+ 124 grain ammo.

Look for a good older Springfield M1A, preferably a serial number below 80,000. If you are lucky you will find one with mostly USGI parts. I picked up a nice used one recently for $900 with 3 mags and a case. H&R barrel, trigger group, bolt and TRW op rod in a USGI stock. Do the rifles...

I went to a local tire shop and got about 700 pounds of wheelweights for 3 twelve packs of soda. Great deal! :D

I would definitely recommend a good used Hornday Projector or lock n load. You may be able to find one used for under $200. They are a well built heavy press with a sizeable ram. I don't like the Hornady powder measure that came with my press so I use an RCBS measure instead, works just fine...

I had always used 5.0 grains of Bullseye with 20 grain FMJ bullets. Recently I switched to 4.0 grains of Clays and the load seems softer in recoil. I still use Bullseye but probably load more Clays now.

I love my .25-06, I wouldn't be without one. Great cartridge. I dropped many a whitetail and groundhog with mine before I moved away from PA. Great antelope and deer cartridge for the West too and also great for coyotes when it's windy and the .223 isn't enough.

I purchased the CZ75SA (for the nicer beavertail and full profile slide) and had it converted back to DA/SA for USPSA production. I didn't like the looks or the muzzle heavy feel of the SP01, but didn't want it as light as the CZ75B. Turned out a nice compromise, very accurate, sits in the...

The lot I have is a little faster than H110 or AAC #9, it is more like 2400. Great powder for magnum pistol loads, originally used in .30 carbine ammo.

If you continue the draw from the position you are in the photograph you are going to sweep your week hand/arm with the muzzle. I prefer not to let the muzzle pass over anything I might need! I agree cross draw is best while seated, such as driving, but prefer strong side for anything...

My first was a S&W 657 with a 6 inch barrel.

I use 230 grain FMJ with 4.0 grains of Clays. I also like 5.0 grains of Bullseye.
