I ate a $150 steak once. it was a Dry Age tomahawk ribeye. I personally think I have good taste, but (to me) steak is not like wine. It’s not a delicate thing.... Fat, Meat, Bone, Salt&Pepper, smokey char.... perfect
I scurry out at o dark thirty like a rat to buy stuff like dairy products, meat, vegetables anything date sensitive and not factory packaged. Never have that sort of thing delivered and don’t want some stranger touching my food in a store. My neighbors do and the delivery people are way too creepy looking and things are missing frequently so they say. Just scheduled two lawn mowers for service pickup—two week wait. Even service is in short supply.
How far from Tampa? I’ll stop at Bern for a steak to hold me over.---
It's a 12 hour drive to Palatka, FL from D.C. Put a cooler in the trunk, buy some dry ice and come down to load up.
I think steak is much like wine—properly aged, seered, cooked, and served at right temp, savored, not eaten. When on business travel I used to search out best steak houses, but the best I’ve ever had was a KC strip off my own grill with a glass of Chianti after a day of loading and shooting. (I made up the last part)
Ribeye isn’t my favorite but I’ll take it for sure. $150 is a lot but I spent many years working and saving to enjoy that very thing.

I confused you again. I’m just outside DC and as long as I would be traveling to fla, I would go to Tampa.
Exactly what they’ve done here. So, also with discontinuing ordering powder or primers on line for ship to store, why would any shooter go there anymore? Better odds to be had in Vegas.
This seller had them at a fare price. I assume that's why they went quick.
I found a brick of primers there last month just randomly. I go knowing there is almost zero chance but it only takes once to make a huge difference in my stock. It's my first panic so I just check often and get when I can. Not paying scalpers prices.
EBay has lee turret press's around $500. They are price gouging for sure. A 4 die set of 9mm is goin for around $150!! But they are thereMy son would like to start reloading; can't even find a single-stage press to buy. He thought he knew where a L-N-L press kit was for "bargain prices." When he told me it was $1000, I told him he was wrong!
I remember my 1st panic.... ahhhh, memories of finding the allusive .22 cci for $7.39 a box. Yep! plenty of 9mm, .223, .45, whatever... but .22 NOPE!
Lucky you. It’s a 35 mile drive for me but when I knew they had what I wanted (I had it shipped to store or the online inventory showed it in stock) I’d combine it with going to the range so it’d only be 10 miles out of my way. But hitting it cold is something I’ll save for post-vaccine I guess.
80 per 1000 is a good deal depending on the flavor!Went to Cabelas in Connecticut yesterday and was very disappointed what I saw.
Ammo shelves bare like Mother Hubbart’s cabinet. No power or primers, a couple of boxes of Shot gun ammo for target, less than 20 boxes of Center fire of the less popular brass - The store is looking more like a clothing store. Stop by the LGS and he had primers but wanted $80.00 a box of 1000, past on that deal
My dad reloaded for me so I had no idea how good I had it. Being in the navy then I never had the time... guess he knew how to be prepared.
