Ammo

[diegokid]

Anyone tried to buy 50BMG or 308 bulk ammo lately?

[pbrown]

Not lately. What's up? Prices? Availability?

My dad went to get some ammo for a 300 winn yesterday and they had gone up to $70.00 for a box of 20. I have a Remington 300 ultramag, hate to see what they've gone up to. Obama related????I wouldn't think so this quick, but something has sure caused the prices of ammo to skyrocket.
I heard someone mention they heard ammo was supposed to go up 50% to 80% in the near future!

It's time to buy a reloader if you don't have one already. Dillon is your friend. Back when I was competing, I couldn't aford to shoot if I didn't load them myself. I have a 550B with all the gadgets.

I haven't reloaded anything other than shot gun shells years ago for skeet shooting. most of the factory ammo is very good right out of the box, but doing your own reloading is more precise and definetely more economical.

It might be just speculation/reaction on what he could be planning to do when he takes office. I do not shoot and I'm not into guns, but I sure don't want anymore limits on owning firearms.

Just bought some 6.5 Grendel (500 rounds) and all the dies, brass, powder, and bullets to reload the Grendel. Not any higher than normal. I handload 95% of mine anyway. From now until March is a great time to crank it out when we have those cold days with rain and snow. I have a good friend with a major gun distributor, they get in $50,000 hit's of LC 5.56 (223) and sell it in 1,000 round quanities, if it comes in on Monday they are out by Wednesday....big demand. Black Rifle sales are through the roof and pistol sales are strong.

Yeah that's it ,Obama did it. He ruined the economy and created inflation in all sectors. Also, alot of hunting round are now lead free by law! and quite a bit more expensive. not because Obama did it.

It is funny to see people running to buy assault style weapons in fear of a band.
If the poop hits the fan and all hell breaks loose you will be able to pick up guns and ammo off the streets of the battle fields.

I have known this for years, about one year after starting my car.

All the Cobra Folks are into guns and many into reloading....hugging your guns and carrying your bibles.

And I also have a feeling there are not a lot of loyal Cobra guys and gals out there that are Liberals!!!

Yep, I remember ole Grendel, for some reason I liked that part of English Lit.

Assuming, of course, that - for lack of having one - you won't get shot first.......

I have something to defend my home. If I need to go out and get something with more fire power I can use it to aquire that.

Yeah Paul, I can bee like Charlston Heston in the Omega Man.

How sad this Texas girl had the incroachment on her second
amendment rights so graphically illustrated. I see the honorable senator
from New York was getting a little uncomfortable in his chair.
The gun banners are absolutely speechless as this little Texas
gal chews them up and spits them out. She knows what the 2nd amendment
is really all about.
Watch it. You will be glad you did. And pass it along.
Here's a video that I guarantee you won't forget anytime soon!!
She didn't cry, although she came close to losing it, and she gave those
a reality check they dearly needed.........

The STI and Caspian are both great examples of what the 1911 can be. My favorite though is a Briley Commander size a friend of mine won at the Texas State matches a few years back. He gave it to me for a retirement gift, best "thing" I ever had as a gift.

Yep I shoot it!

And I suppose that you'll haul this off in ole number 8???

You know... to make a fast getaway and all

[JeepSnake]

Alright, y'all have convinced me. I'm going to have to get a gun rack to mount to the roll bar on the Cobra.

[diegokid]

The pistol is easier to mount. The 1911 is almost 100 years old and still around. I'm thinking that means ole John got it right a long time ago.

[pbrown]

The 1911 is great but it wasn't perfect. The ejection port was barely big enough for a spent .45 case. That makes clearing a jam not very fun. A good gunsmith can do wonders with it. I have a beautiful Colt Combat Commander that has had a lot of work done and it is a joy to shoot.

[TurnpikeBoy]

In truth, the biggest problem with the (military) 1911 was the damn sights. Even good young eyes had woes finding that stupid front sight.

Stovepipe jams are good indicators of recoil spring needs.
