Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

Copy of Earl Naramore's Principles and Practice of Loading Ammunition

Picked up a copy of Lyman #51.

Bought a few Colt .45 ACP magazines at a gun show last weekend. They were there and price was right.

Ron

4 boxes Fiocchi Range Dynamics Ammunition 32 ACP 73 Grain Full Metal Jacket Box of 50
2 boxes Winchester USA 32 ACP AUTO Ammo 71 Grain Full Metal Jacket Box of 50
& a used Seecamp LWS 32 pistol

I bought a Holosun 510c from Schuyler Arms in Tucson, Arizona. $252 shipped. Great deal and the guy is super fast on shipping and immediately responds to any questions. Best online experience I've had.

Mine was a Romeo 5 red dot to mount on front of a juliet magnifier to replace the sig
Romeo MSR red dot that can kill a 20k hour battery life in 2 weeks. Lol. Maybe the shake awake Romeo 5 will do better.

Stopped at the gun shop today. Grabbed a pocket holster for the Seecamp LWS 32, a cheap clearance one for $8. also grabbed 10 rounds of PPU FMJ 32 auto ammo. They had two full boxes at $30 each or bags of 10 rounds for $6 each. Since I already have 150 rounds ordered for the Seecamp, I just bought a 10-round bag to check out the fit for FMJ in it. With the spacer removed from the mag the FMJs fit fine. I did not try feeding them, but guess I could. I also bought two dummies and they fed and ejected fine. Now I can't wait for my ammo to arrive so I can hit the range. I have 4 boxes Fiocchi FMJ 32 Auto I bought at $25 a box plus shipping so not much better than I could have got at this gun shop. The Winchester white box flat nosed 32 Autos were much more expensive at something like $44 a box, but I figured I should have some ammo that feeds with the spacer in.

Ordered another mag for my Ruger 7.62x39 and 3 boxes of ammo. Can't find any brass. So i bought some brass case ammo.

2 boxes of 150 grain Hornady SST bullets total of 200 for reloading, and also traded for 100 new Winchester .308 cases which is
a stretch for me since I prefer other cases over Winchester but at the present supply and demand
making everything over the top on price, I can't be selective, got them cheap per the trade.

New set of springs for my S&W 617 and some chamber brushes to get it clean.

A brick of Eley Target, a brick of old Winchester Power Points and a brick of CCI Velocitors.

Morning sir….I’m not asking you to post any load data but does that new Lyman manual have load data exceeding 500 grains for the 500 S&W. I have a 600 grain mold on the way from MP. Thanks Darrin

I just bought an older H&R tracker 1.
12 ga, smooth bore, slug gun, with rifle sights. my plan is to have a 357 mag or max barrel liner installed in it. should b a fun single shot. it something to carry with my 1969, 3 screw, black hawk 357 mag.
I like having a rifle and hand gun that can use the same ammo.

Sorry, no. Just checked. Heaviest loads they show are 500 grain jacketed and 375 grain cast.

Thank you for checking.

I found some 5.56 ball ammo for $9.99 a box. Cheapest I've seen it in quite some time. No limit on how many you can buy. I bought quite a bit. The boxes are marked Olin. That's Winchester, right? Brass cased. Looks fine.

Picked up 500 pi each new Starline brass for:
9mm Luger
357 mag
380 ACP
2--8oz bottles brass polish

Bought this 1987 Speer manual in like-new condition at a gun show for a whopping $3. I originally learned to reload in the early 90's with a copy of this book that my dad gave me. He either took it back and it got lost at his house or I lost it in a move. Kind of nostalgic to get a copy of it back.

Ordered one # each:
VihtaVuori
N110
N310 powder.

"If you ever see or find some 30-30 WIN, buy it for me as I can't find any, I'll pay you back"

......A friend told me a few months ago.

Yesterday, of all places the Mrs. and I were in Walmart......
Just for gits and shiggles I suggested we stroll by where the ammo used to be.

WOW, there it is!

Two boxes at just over 25 dollars a box of 20 with tax.
We left two boxes for seed.

Not too bad.......especially nowadays.

Remington Corlokt 150 grain.

Hey, use care out there!

B.L.

8 boxes of 6.5 Creedmoor at the LGS.

Enfield No. 4 Mk II 1949 matching on GB last night. Managed to snag a decent one for well under $600 when most are going for $700+

2 = AR500 steel gongs.
Both that can take up to 300 Win Mag.
We been using our homemade steel targets with 3/8" steel but my sons enjoy busting holes
in them with 25-06 and 22-250. Just hoping they work as well as advertised.
One goes at 300 yards and the other at 60 yards. The homemade are for long range Encore Pistols.
Also got some exploding targets we use on 4'th of July with Red White & Blue chalk.
Magpul stuff, and a shotgun rig that, has 2 rods that drive in the ground and holds cardboard
for shotgun patterns.
Had lots of 556 fmj ammo for sell but - I - don't prefer fmj, far as I will go is HP which I have
better performance with. Perhaps you differ with fmj but I like at least some function, even
if it is a fmj with a HP.
Got 3 MORE boxes of 150 grain Hornady SST for reloading.
Just went with STUFF this past week.
+ Got 2 cans of what I remember is Varget coming tomorrow.
I guess this has been a lot of training and support equipment.
Also going to rebuild the 60-yard target or could open a brass or lead mine.
I call this a HOBBY, but it appears to be an obsession, but the the wife doesn't complain--- very often.
