SG Ammo is already announcing shipping delays due to high demand.

Yeah, my 7.62x39 is coming form there.

 

I'm really concerned that foreign ammo import may be banned. That'll really affect the Russkie caliber shooters.

Mine too. Przi Partizan SP.

I think I have reloaded about 2000 rounds in the last month or two. I still have about 3000 more to go til I run out of brass, powder, primers, and boolits! That on top of my stockpile of factory ammo. That reminds me, I gotta get more powder, primers, and boolits!

Ugh.

1k xm193

1k .45 federal ae

1k 9mm 124gr federal ae

 

Prices are insane! Up almost 20% from last year when I placed the same order

 

My wallet hurts. A lot. Thank god I reload this will last me all year. All I really needed was the 193 the rest is just stock piling

How many reloads can you get out of a good case?

Depends on brass stress. Typically u can reload a case about 5 times, after that you should really start inspecting the brass. If your brass stress is low u can get more reloads.

If you anneal your necks once in a while you could theoretically go forever.

I guy I met at the range recently was collecting .22lr brass to melt them down and cast new cases for ... .223 I think? Is this cost-effective? Sounds like an awful lot of work...

Just turned up today. I've not used XTAC before but their Bronze line is as good as a US made low cost ammo.

 

Hows that PMC ammo?

I personally love pmc bronze .223 and that's what I shoot mainly through my Adams arms. I also have xtac too and xm193, but that's my rainy day stash.

 

90% of the time I use pmc bronze and it has performed flawlessly and I save the brass

Aim just got in some match x54

Casting new cases? Doesn't that take a whole lot of work?

:( i have no money at the moment. will probably have to wait till tax season to do any stock piling and by then we will all look the same and be saying things like "double plus good" when they up our chocolate rations...

IDK. He said it's just a die, just pour the molten brass in. Of course then you have to seat the primer, etc... but yeah- seems like alot of work to me that wouldn't save much money considering the TIME involved???

I know you can make .223 bullet jackets with .22lr cases

Yeah like turbo said he must have meant he casts boolits. I have never heard of people making their own cases, I'm sure it has been done but nowhere near as common as casting boolits.
