Looking for Alliant RL 26 and Hodgdon H1000 powder. Nothing on that sight. On Gunbroker. H1000 is bidding at $410 for 8lbs. The reserve hasn't been met yet. It normally goes for $233.

I might be able to retire if I auctioned off all my powder brass bullets and primers.

I've got some brass that I don't reload for. I'll have to dig out the list and post it on GB, make a little car mod money. Who knows, I might get enough to buy the JDM tails I want.

A RSO at the range I go to had given me a few thousand 30-06 brass for the Garand, all neatly placed in the original packaging that they came in. Someone who had decided to give up on reloading just gave it to him and told him to find them a good home.

Bought 1000 9mm bullets for .12 ea > Last year paid .08 for a working round. Primers are more than bullets . FFS I hate this . I think the only way to come out ahead is barter with others.

Primers are going for a buck a piece at some places.

I got a great supply of lead bullets for 9mm, 38/357, 40/10mm, 44, and 45 ACP. I cast my own bullets.

Also got about 300 lbs of lead alloy sitting under my work bench too waiting to be cast.

Looking at getting some 10 round mags for my RPR. It uses Accuracy International mags. The cheapest place I found is Optics Planet. They list for $186.63 each.

They have them on sale for $136.26. I wanted 5, but think for now. I'll just get 2.

The 2 mags come in today. And they don't fit.

They're a double stack mag, not a single stack. The wbsite sid they would fit.

They're going back tomorrow.

Just scored 8lbs of Vihtavuori 24N41 powder for $289.00 for the 338. Midway had it.

Is that 6.5 Creedmoor?

I might have to get a shirt.

That was hard to watch. Looking at the muzzle flash between the first & second SLAP round and the APT round, I'd have been real leery of another SLAP round. That second SLAP round was pretty hot...

I wonder where the SLAP rounds were from? If from an old Eastern block country. Think I know what happened.
