    Buying Powder Online

    My LGS has powders but price is too high. I'm still shooting with powders I bought in 2012 before the shortage started. If it weren't for that hazmat fee I would have made a smaller purchase and I'd have been out a long time ago. I've learned that one should always buy too much powder.

    Magazines for 300 blackout

    I use a lot of liquid alox lub on the lead bullets which creates a lot of friction against the guide, purhaps that is the problem. The FMJ loads work fine in the pmag. My Lancer mag works well unmodified with the sticky lead bullets.

    Magazines for 300 blackout

    I had problems with 170 grain lead cast round nose in pmags. The sides of the bullets would rub against the guide inside the mag. I used a chisel to remove the guide and the problem went away and the mags cycled without any problems. I was wondering if anyone else has done this and their results.

    Magazines for 300 blackout

    I found that 300 blackout had a problem with the follower guides on the inside of the magazine body especially if you load a thick caste lead bullet. The bullets are pushed against the guide and create friction so if you load more than 10 rounds the magazine doesn't function like it is supposed...

    lil over board with reloading

    I have tens of thousands of rounds loaded and I still only have my original lee single stage. The only reloading equipment I buy is for redundancy in case something breaks and I can't get it replaced.

    I can load modest .357 and .38 Special cheaper than buying .22LR

    I make 9mm for 4 cents per round using lead that I got for free at the range. I recently purchased small pistol primers for 0.02 cents each and the powder costs 0.01 cent per load. I add one cent for overhead and electrical costs of tumbling. My 9mm is a lot cheaper than 22.

    I found powder

    I wouldn't pay $30 for a lb of bullseye. I've have more than I need. As soon as it becomes readily available again I'm going to stock up.

    Powder shortage ending soon?

    I've seen a lot of rifle powders starting to become available online and remaining in stock for over 24 hours at a time. I haven't seen powders like A2230 or H110 or Lil'gun or any pistol powders. Have any of ya'll gotten any pistol powder online or at a LGS?

    OPEN CARRY TEXAS. Texans get in here!

    Open Carry Texas is not a civil disobedience group. We are friendly with people, we open carry with unloaded chambers and we hand out fliers. We also work with the police and support officers who support our rights. Video of one of the walks

    Loaded up 25 test 9mm rounds last night and got this problem at the range...

    I shoot the exact same lead cast bullet in my sr9 and my loads are similar to your original OAL and I have never had this problem. Are you using the correct diameter bullet? Are your cases the correct length?
