Got, 180 Fed LRM primers ($11), 270+ 25gr 17cal Berger bullets ($19), 120 once-fired 30-06 brass ($12). Includes buyers premium and tax.
Will use $3 gas to get them. Luckily, I'm going to WV thursday, so it adds only 25 miles to my trip to stop by and pick stuff up.
Norma has Argentine small pistol primers for $49.99/k with free shipping
for orders over $150.
PLUS no hazmat.
Cost me $212 (with tax) for 4k, ordered 1/13, received today (2 days weather delay).
Shipped from Georgia...
Heading says it all.
Hodgdon has a sale, no hazmat, free shipping for $300 order.
August 31 through September 4.
Ship it to a friend in WV and there should be no sales tax.
Finished up 50 rounds of 357 brass, 148gr Speer HBWC, 3.0gr of TiteGroup for some plinking with my Dan Wesson 357.
Deprimed, tumbled, sized about 150 357/38spcl brass for future use.
And now, the rest of the story: They were 15 and 16 years old. Had earlier broken through a window and entered another residence, stole an airsoft gun.
Not at the bench, but needed to load at the bench.
Saturday, took a ride to RSP Gun Shop out in Falling Waters, WV.
Got 2# ($37ea) Alliant Power Pro 300-MP (357 loads) and 1# ($32) Longshot (40 S&W). Looking at the receipt and remembered, no sales tax in WV on reloading supplies. No tax covered...
Hornady must have made a run of these bullets for me to get mine and also show up at Grafs. Have to load up some tomorrow and see if I want to buy some more while still in stock at Grafs. Opticsplanet is backorder only, must have ordered them only to fulfill current backorders. Thanks for...
Backordered 3 boxes of 30cal 90gr Hornady XTP bullets December 10, 2020.
Notified today they came in. They're charging the same price I ordered them at, $19/100 while the present price is $30, and even got my free shipping that was in effect at the time. I've never seen these in stock anywhere...
Made a set of 8 dummy rounds in 30-06 to demonstrate M1 Garand loading to someone who recently received a Garand. Had some fired blanks used in VFW Honor Guard, so cleaned, ran them through the sizer die twice, checked length, loaded them with Hornady #3037 150gr bullets. Used a Lee factory...
Didn't realize, but SGAMMO has some Hornady bullets and brass.
Brass for 220 swift, 30-40 Krag, 303, 6.5x52 Carcano, 6.5-284, 6mm Rem, 460 S&W and a few others.
I got what I thought is a pretty good deal on a pack of 300 158gr .357 Hornady XTP bullets for $63.99. At food store Giant Eagle, I bought $100 Cabela's gift card on sale. That purchase gives a $0.40/gallon discount for 30 gallons of gas ($12.00) at a local station. $12.00 = 12% discount on gas...
Already got a response, refunded the tax as a gift card (which is what I used to pay originally). Said they would bump this up to try and prevent this happening again. Didn't explain where the 3.7% tax rate came from.
Ordered some bullets from Cabela's. Shipped to my friends place in WV. They charged me 3.7% sales tax. Just realized (after checking), WV exempts ammo + components (bullets,primers,powder,brass,caps,etc). I knew about ammo, but didn't realize they define components as ammo. Got on Cabela's...
GCA says 50 years, cannot be changed by regulation. GCA also states OTHER stuff (less than 50 years old) can be declared C&R by ATF, which could simply refuse to recognize anything newer. My father's Winchester Mod. 94AE 30-30 Wyoming Centennial rifle was declared C&R by the ATF, even though it...
I'm loading up some 148gr HBWC for my Dan Wesson 357 w/6" barrel. Is it better to use 357 brass with the wadcutters, 38spcl brass, or doesn't make any difference ? I have TiteGroup, Unique, Bullseye powders.
I am sort of thinking 357 brass, less distance for the bullet to travel in the cylinder...
Been trying to buy this from my friend.
S&W Model 1 Second Issue, s.n. 89895, 22 Short Black Powder.
Made 1865 or 1866. The nickel plating doesn't show up in this picture, but it is about 99%. Grips are original (sn stamped on the inside of them).
Deprimed, cleaned, sized, trimmed a mixture of about 250 38spcl and 357 brass. Then loaded up fifty 357 with 158gr Hornady XTP over 17gr of Power Pro 300-MP. To be used in my Henry and Dan Wesson. Between pre-covid bullets and primer, covid powder, it's about $17 for those 50 rounds. Still...
