Went to Solomon's today for the first time. Pleasently surprised it was right off of route 33 and took 20 mins to get there. a hole in the wall with dust from years ago... but was pleasently surprised.

 

They had Powder, Bullets, and Primers!

 

I picked up a 1lb jug of Win 231 for pistol, 1lb of IMR 4895 and 1lb of Reloader 15.

 

The really big kicker... they had in stock, the brand spanking new IMR 8208 powder that apparently is becoming the new target standard.

 

Powder was between $18.50 and $19.50 per lb. They had some in bigger jugs, but I wanted to pick up each to see what will work best.

 

Primers... no on the pistol primers, yes on the rifle primers. Picked up 1k each of CCI Large Rifle and Small Rifle primers. $32/k

 

Bullets, they seemed to have a ton in stock. Picked up 200 168gr Sierra Match Kings for $26.95/100.

 

all in all, spent just under 200 without tax, and $209.50 with tax. There were 2 people waiting inline before me. He seemed to have regular ammo in stock as well.

 

It is really amazing that he is able to keep it all in stock, at such greatprices. Best of all, no shipping or hazmat fees.

 

+1 to Gene.

I was there a month or so ago with Lunker to grab some 12 ga slugs to mess around with at the range. While we were there waiting for the guy to tally up the order by hand, i was gandering at the ammo they have around the corner in the back room. I asked him if they had any 9mm HP and he produced a couple boxed of Fed Hydrashocks for $20 ea so i took them. After i got home, i noticed the hand written price tag was affixed over several previous price tags so i began peeling them back to see the price history. It turns out that this ammo had been there a while and peeling them back revealed $14.99, then $12.99 then $8.99! I was not amused. They shoot fine and are in new condition though so i have no issued using them. I'm surprised that hey were there that long and not snatched up during the rush.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
