    When are ammo prices and supply expected to get more normal

    I picked up a case of tula 7.62x39 just today for $299. Was completely shocked to see it though. After talking to an employee he said 4 cases were buried under some bird shot. They were uncovered an hour before I got there and I got the last one.

    375/06 improved

    I too am thinking of putting together a 375-284. Did your smith offer any reason for you to go with the 06 beside the fact that he has the reamer? I would rather have the short action, especially since you already own it.

    Good older thread discussing 10mm ammo. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=169582 Of all the tests I have seen the xtp's or a bonded bullet are the only ones that reliably hold together at 10mm full power velocities.

    6.5 Grendel...reality from hype?

    Yeah your right I wasn't even thinking about the 6mm's. I should have said commercially available or readily available. I was talking between the .223 6.8spc 7.62x39 and 6.5. But like you stated there are always other options. Good article here...

    6.5 Grendel...reality from hype?

    It is true, the 6.5 grendel would not be the best choice in an Ar-10. It is however designed for the Ar-15 platform, so I guess it just depends on what you are looking for or can afford. Will it shoot to 1000 yards? I haven't personally done it, but I have no doubt it will, many have done it...

    WA State Patrol SWAT gear stolen by criminals

    I wasn't joking, but I did not read carefully enough, I was reading as though it was a regular officer, not a member of the SWAT team.

    The EPA and lead wheel-weights. I want your two cents!

    I didn't read much of the article or many of the posts. I work at a warehouse with electric forklifts, which means massive 2-3 thousand pound lead batteries. We hired a new guy a few years back to repair the batteries, his previous job was working for the gov cleaning up a nuclear site. He...

    Democrats show little appetite for gun control

    This was in my local paper today. I thought it would be good for some people to read. I'm sure it is a conspiracy to get us to let our guard down though.:evil: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090303/ap_on_go_co/gun_rights WASHINGTON – The National Rifle Association warned in a campaign ad...

    Reloading Components Shortage

    I just bought 10k small rifle primers from powder valley on Mon, they shipped today. Sure stuff is harder to find, people are obviously hoarding. It's not like all the manufactures just stopped making stuff. Just keep looking, everything is out there at reasonable prices.
