Comparing SGAMMO and Ammunition Depot, sometimes one is cheaper, sometimes the other is cheaper. However, Ammunition Depot seems to have a lot more in stock in the more common calibers.

The prices on SD 9mm/45 is very good prices. Tell me locally where you find $30/50 Gold Dots and I will be very impressed.

Just wanted to point you all to ammunitiondepot.com. I just stumbled over them, they have tons of inventory and amazing prices. Bought some gold dots and lawman ammo. Will update if the experience is good or bad.

Thanks guys! Appreciate it, just got super nervous after all the warnings I read about going below Hodgdons published minimum.

Thanks guys. I used H110 because I had some left over from a 44mag work up. Bottom line, would you all feel safe firing the load I described in the OP (18.5gr H110, 125gr XTP, magnum primer, heavy crimp)?

Quick question regarding conflicting data on H110 loadings, specifically with 357mag 125gr XTP. I have loaded up a few rounds based on the Hornady Manuals data: 125gr XTP, 18.5gr of H110. In the Hornady manual this is a middle of the road H110 load. However, upon review of other manuals, I am...

They seem to be doing that on lots of items, not just AR's, http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/36_758/Rifles/Mossberg

Quick update: With some help from Mohave-Tec, I put a washer under the trigger guard and now the Timney works great. Just need to finish free floating the barrel and will be done. I will say, the stock looks pretty.

That is perfectly fine, but the amount of fitting I am having to do is a little ridiculous.

I just got a Feather Weight Thumbhole in Nutmeg and I am not very happy. First the magazine cut out was mis-sized and required some fitting, then I noticed that the barrel channel is nowhere near free floated and will require some serious sanding. The real icing on the cake is that this...

I just picked up a .44 DE in Matte Chrome. It was sold as LNIB, however it looks like there is some discoloration on parts of the gun. This is my first gun with Chrome platting and was wondering if there is anything specific I should know about cleaning it? Anything to avoid, anything that works...

I guess we will never agree. As long as I am physically fit enough. I want to do everything possible to avoid taking another humans life. I would much rather win a hand-to-hand fight and leave it at that. My view, is maybe if Zimmerman knew how to fight, that would have just been a small scuffle...

GREAT article. Are you personal friends with Ceciil? I would love to train with him sometime. His article touches on all the big points I try to convey to inexperienced people. Those two exact positions were the ones I would cover with new employees when I was running the door at some "less then...

Deaf Smith, I can tell you from lots of sport and real life training and experience. That fighting "dirty" really doesn't help you much. Especially against someone who has any level of training. I had a guy who tried to eye gouge and groin squeeze his way out of an armbar, and I can tell you...

So a quick update, I made a few more rounds tonight and the weights were WAY better, pretty much 19.3 consistently with a few coming in low(19.1), but as long as I tapped the hopper they were were all +/- .1. I realized the low numbers of 18.5-19, were coming up when I was just testing the...
