Real 10mm, pre-panic, was a solid $.60-.75 cents per round. Most manufacturers selling "10mm" are selling .40 S&W in a 10mm case. We see the same with .357 Sig- it is mostly 9mm +P velocity.

You need to get some chicken thighs, coat them with Old Bay and grill them. Steam your corn, coat with butter and slap on the Old Bay. Someone told me you can use it on shrimp too, but I'm not buying that one. (I'm a fat kid at heart and my belly)

As a Baltimoron, I don't get the fascination with their crab fries. They are crinkle cut fries with Old Bay. Hell, I have put Old Bay on German Chocolate Cake. On a serious note, try Old Bay on grilled chicken and corn on the cob. Seriously.

Much obliged. My wife has lots of family in the Bordentown area, and I have plenty of supplies to barter when I'm next in NJ. I won't ship any Hazmat stuff, but am sitting on quite a bit of stuff (low on SPP)

The projectiles serve different purposes. The M855 was designed to penetrate a UN blue helmet (my spin) at 600 meters. The M193 was designed to cause a lot of damage to soft tissue.

I recently got back from Ocracoke NC. Shelves at a rural Walmart (near Rocky Mount NC) were fully stocked. They had 10+ pump guns in the case and plenty of "non scary" ammo. Here in the Baltimore/DC metro area, everything is cleaned out. I'm pretty sure I mentioned in this thread that 6-8 months ago, I never would have fathomed the need to reload 9mm and .223, as I could buy cases for $10-$20 more than rolling my own. Now I can't even find Lee dies in 9mm Luger.

Yeah, no shit. I am sitting on a solid 5yr supply of .223 and 5.56. I would happily sell green tips for $500/1000 and Wolf Gold for $450/1000. I have (by Marylandistan standards) a metric shit ton of 9mm, but I shoot a solid 500rds each month. Hell, at a bad day at my club's "Outlaw Steel Challenge", I will go through 250rds in a few hours.

During the 2013 panic, a LGS had 9mm for $13/box for 1-2 boxes. All purchases beyond 2 boxes were sold at $25/box. I really liked that business model.

In our current availability and price situation, this is a pretty damn good deal. Sign up for the Buyer's Club 30 day free trial to get a reduced price and free shipping. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/winchester-nato-9mm-luger-124-grain-fmj-1000-rounds-with-ammo-can?a=2183341

I can't remember the company- it was one of the dozens of websites with "80% lower", "80 percent lowers" "Best 80% lowers", etc. I DO have the specifics of when we found Polymer80 G19/G23/G32 for $75 shipped. (Mods please let me know if linking another gun forum is not cool) https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=228882&highlight=polymer+sale

In 2016, one could buy six 80% lowers for $150 delivered. On a good day, an Anderson completed lower is $40-$50. I like 80% lowers because the a-holes working in Analpolis (sic) are on a non stop run to ban everything they possibly can. They can't confiscate what they don't know exists and there isn't a 7 day wait to buy an 80%. FWIW- Marylandistan does have a database of everything purchased on a form 77r (MD's state version of a 4473)

Nope. I keep them all "naked". (I have only built one into a rifle so far)

Well, I'm now saving 9mm brass, which wasn't even a blip on my radar 6 months ago. If I get below 10k live rounds before the market opens back up, I will buy 9mm dies. If I get below 5k rounds I will actually start loading the round.

No thanks. Colts are overpriced and not worth their price tag. Windham Weaponry is just as good, if not better, and are sold at a significantly lower price point. The Colt namesake ain't what it used to be. I stocked up on 80% lowers when they were cheap and plentiful. As far as builds- I roll my own.

That might be tough. 2-3 weeks after ammo prices skyrocketed and then dried up, reloading components: powder, primers and projectiles dried up too. The above being said, I would advise any new reloaders buy a cheap Lee single stage (part #90045) and a balance beam scale. Doing one thing at a time and hand weighing every round makes it much easier to focus and learn the basics.

As posted last evening, we're dealing with the EXACT issue in Marylandistan... The MSP interprets a law and prosecutors base their case on the state police's interpretation rather than the actual law itself. Our issue, which I'm sure is similar in Jersey, is the prosecution has bottomless pockets.

I live in Marylandistan, where we also have crazy gun "laws". I used "laws" in quotes because the MDSP like to interpret the laws outside the letter of the law. State Police are the enforcement branch; not the legislative branch. Legally, they can't interpret the law in a way that isn't consistent with the letter of the law- but they do anyway. If I ever hit Powerball, I will be willing to be the test case on one of these issues. Until then, I will continue bowing to the crown.

OP here... He ended up buying a Glock 34 from Cheyenne because he wants HD and also wants to start doing "Outlaw Steel Challenge" (not official SC rules) at my club outside Baltimore. He couldn't buy a Benelli M4 Tactical because of the pistol grip, so he also got a Benelli Supernova Tactical. While he was waiting for the Glock, he was called back by Bob's Shooting Supplies (home FFL in Florence) because Bob got in a P320 X5 Legion. "Mr. Impulse Buy" said he would take it, so In ~25 days he will be able to start the paperwork on that one. I really liked the vibe I got from Monmouth on this forum, but he is surely swamped and didn't respond to emails fast enough for "Mr. Impulse Buy". On a happy note, our ranges opened back up last week, so I was able to hit my club and sight in my newly Bubba'ed M96 Swede. I also took out some pent up anger on a poor little piece of AR500 steel with a bunch of pistols: USPc, VP9, Polymer80 "G32", PPKs, S&W 64, Buckmark and Wrangler. Yeah, after 5 months of zero shooting, I'm rusty to say the least.

I learned my lesson after the post Sandy Hook panic buy. I have slowly built up my stores of the "cheap" ammo I didn't reload. With what prices were for 9mm and .223/5.56, I didn't see a point in reloading them. A case of 1000 was going for close to what I could load them for myself. When Walmart stopped selling pistol and "scary rifle" ammo (I'm in Marylandistan) they knocked them down to stupid cheap prices. I loaded up with 10k+ rounds, much to my wife's chagrin. I load my own PRS rounds in 6.5CM and 6.5 Grendel as well as rounds that are far cheaper to roll my own- .357 Sig and 10mm, I'm talking to you. I find it crazy that I can load .357 Sig for $.02cpr more than 9mm. FWIW- I switched from Power Pistol to Longshot for the above pistol rounds and my wallet really thanked me.

He was supposedly setting up appointments with Monmouth and Cheyenne. I told him to confirm whether he would be able to fondle inventory to determine what fit his hands best. I haven't heard back. Last evening he wanted to buy the X-Five Legion at Monmouth sight unseen, but he called and it was already sold. As the folks here understand, what fits my hand won't necessarily fit your hand. Polymer80 "Glocks" fit me great, but an actual Glock always draws 10-15 degrees low for me. They're great pistols, but their ergonomics don't mesh with my hands. I want him to fully experience this with his own hands before dumping $500-$1000 on his first pistol.

I think Zeke should skip the surgery, dress in drag and focus on getting him really drunk. This might actually work. Zeke- I'm rooting for you. When a new member with the screen name "Filthy Porgy" finally signs up, you need to move quick.

"also nobody does philately in joisey. You just can’t.." Oh, so youse doin local die lex now dere. Ise fluent in Bawlmerese hon. After dis corn teen is over maybe youse can come on down to Camden Yards and catch an Oreos game wit me.

Thanks for the info. ~15yrs ago I did a short stint in Marlton building the filtration systems for a short lived aquarium store. I loved the snapper soup at The Marlton Diner and Jay's Elbow Room has the best clam strips I have ever had.

Don't twist his arm too hard. Have you gotten the surgery yet?

He will be joining. I got him hooked after he played with some of my toys in The Peoples Republik of Marylandistan. I'm a stamp collector- the ones that all look the same and all cost $200. Suppressed .300AAC subs brought him to the dark side.
