    Anyone helping to ease ammo demand?

    Hi all, I am not looking to buy, just looking to see if you know anyone who is selling off part of their ammo and/or reloading component stash. The way I am thinking about this is that for any ammo and/or reloading components that are released from a someone's personal stash, those sales help...

    First thoughts: don't want guns storage laws, but...

    I don't want to see some strict gun storage laws or new restrictions on the types of guns that we can legally own in this country. With that in mind, I think the time has come that we punish parents/guardians when their MINOR child commits a crime with a gun that the parent/guardian allowed...

    Choosing a Glock 17 or 34

    Users of RMR's 115gr 9mm FMJs

    I am on my 5th case of 115gr FMJ bullets from Montana Gold. It has been a pleasure starting with and learning to reload with these bullets. However, I have been thinking about changing in order to see a reduction in bullets costs. I have looked at some alternatives, including non fmj bullets...
