Im a little irk'd with them. Not enough to make me not purchase from them though.. A kit i bought 8 months ago for 350$, is now on 'sale' for 499.99.. I highly doubt they had much of an increase in production cost, definitely not the 50% increase in the selling price.. They're taking good advantage of the current situations and pulling in a much higher margin... But im a business man too, so i get it.. i guess

i just clicked the link for the 115 gr and it let me put 4 boxes in the cart and got all the way to the final checkout.. Guess they are available.. I didnt need them, so i deleted from the cart and closed the page..

My NICS was back Saturday when I completed the transaction. It ‘may’ have been back sooner (friday?) but it wasn’t ch ckecked on until Saturday.. so 4 days or less; had a 2100 back log on Tuesday when submitted..

Grew up in Bordentown, 25 years or so there.... two towns over now

allentown H.S. ? if so, your only about 10 mins or so away... Once you have your first firearm, Range14 maybe the best deal for you to get out and get some practice in.. Its cheap; the hours suck though.. I could guest you in if you want to check it out in the future.. If shooting sports becomes your thing, you close to Central Jersey RPC too.. Not cheap, but i hear a great place.. Im seriously considering joining soon.. I just cant find time to shoot with Range14's shitty hours.. But now, im afraid to shoot of any of my stocked up ammo! Who knows how to long before we can replenish at normal prices...

welcome! as the others already stated, not the best time to be looking; but better now than later! Stuff is out there, just gotta search and be ready to pounce quickly when you find what you want.. Where abouts in upper freehold? My street ends at provinceline road at the very south eastern part of upper freehold.. We may be near neighbors! You can PM if you prefer not to share to much openly...

post up some prices... I did pick something up this week from a member here; but i do have one more permit. I think im done buying for a bit unless something crazy good deal comes along. BUT, i have a lot of new FID friends and neighbors who will be looking one they have their FIDs and pistol permits in hand.. I'll pass along any deals to them...

have a nics in as of late yesterday afternoon.. About 2100 ahead of me.. ughhh.. Figuring we're looking at about 5 days or so..

sending a PM

Just following up with my previous post.. The 50$ per 500 .223 55gr bullets from Rmrbullets arrived within days of oredering. The 2 of 500ea 9mm 124gr and the 500 of the 38/357 158gr. bullets i ordered from Xtreme Bullets just arrived today. Not bad at all giving the current state of affairs. Components at fair pricing are still out there, just gotta put your time in searching and comparing retailers..

Looks like lubesizer would def be the way to go, if, one was to plan on a lot of self casted bullets.. Im thinking, for the poor mans route, and just to get a little experience and use up these 125 or so bullets; i could do a pan lube and then run through a press Lee bullet sizing kit.. Do all the grooves get filled with lube on these bullets? or is the top groove some sort of crimp ring groove? Im thinking all get filled, no crimp ring. Just looking to confirm.

Ok, been readying up on sizing and lubing.. These casted boolits i have are measuring .355-.357. The sizing die kits are .358, wont these bullets just pretty much fall through the die? Seems the bullets should be casted at .359-.360 to be pushed and swaged through a .358 die? What am i missing here. next question. The lee alox lube wil never fill these deep wide grooves in these bullets.. Do the grooves have to be filled all the way like commercial bought bullets? What are the groove rings for? Just to hold lube? Seems these bullets with deep and wide groove rings really need the pan caked method to be able to completely fill the grooves?

Awesome info! I honestly looked at self casting and sizinf bullets as some witch craft i didnt think i was ready to partake in! Guess its a little easier than i had thought. Def worth my while to look into this lee kitch just to size these 120 or so bullets.. No money savings, but learning a new aspect of firearms ownership and self reliance is worth what the cost! And to think, as i have been acquiring all this reloading gear and supplies, i have been passing up on molds and anthing for casting i have seen.. Probably could have scored some great deals on it too... And then lead; i have a bunch of random lead laying around. lol Som eold diving belt weights, a couple big chunks that used to get hung under the chassis of race cars.. Unfortunetly, just last year, i scrapped a big ol heavy chunk of lead. It was actually a drain pipe from an old house. Never seen an actual pipe made of of lead like this before.. Maybe i should have hung on to it just a little bit longer.. I know this lead is not ready to melt right into bullets, as i believe some other materials get added to the mix?

Well my newb-ness shows through on that one! lol What exactly is the material that makes up the lube in the casted bullet rooves? oh great! Another piece of equipement i dont have but need buy?! Or maybe someone else has one that would need these boolits more than i do....

Got these in some box lots.. Im thinking 38/357 but the 168 gr weight throws me off.. Avg diameter is .356, but ranged from .355-.357 when mic'd. New to reloading, but im thinking these are someones home cast? And the grooves? Arent these typical filled with a plastic like material?

Now that sounds like a plan!

Can i submit my contact info to your children now??? Awesome score and beautiful gun! Hope you live many many more years and get to enjoy it!

Ugggghhhhh.... your like a pushy dealer tempting a junkie.. Definitely some nice hardware on there! Pretty much still outta my price range to just use up some 2$ permits... Odd it seems we cant just let those 2$ pieces of paper expire since they are less than a cup of coffee in price.. Its just principle i guess! Now im drooling.... Sweet! Never really took notice of that model before! Thanks for bringing to my attention! something to keep an eye out for in the future when better funds prevail...

Saw that.. tempting! Unique firearm... Also so 92Fs somewhere online for about the same price.. Also tempting but i have a mint 92c (taurus) so kinda have the berrata 9mm base covered.. Thanks for tip tho!

Got two permits that are gonna expire soon.. Whats out there? Not looking for anything fancy or high end, or crazy covid/riot pricing.. anything from a simple .22 revolver, maybe a common striker fired 9mm, always like heavy iron guns or old classics.. Etc etc etc

ohhhh boy, you are asking for it! Put on a good flak jacket! I learned my lesson with the facebook thread!

if Always-an-Eagle passes, i may be interested! My 16 yr old boys are trying putting together a little home gym..

Hmmmm.. i must have misplaced my invite again....

Thanks for the post!! I just picked up 9 of the 5 qt jugs from the Browns Mills store. 6 of the 5-30w and 3 of the 5-20w. I was able to use the 25% coupon code buying online too.. 9 jugs of full synthetic (11.25 gallons!) out the door with tax for 73$.. unbelievable!

Hmmm.. guess the burden is on them then; if its one of the counters where you hand them the item and then they package it up and ship it for you.?
