They were a nice alternative source of reloading supplies for us until they werent.Thank you, i've never bought from there, just found the website and wondered about it.
. . . and I remember when I was paying $4.99/box for 9mm at WM and Dicks back in the early days of NES. That boat has sailed.I remember when it was $35 apiece...
HF would be Chinese junk that probably would run like crap.We might do better with Tractor Supply or Harbor Freight...
I bought Wolf in 9mm and .45 and it Malf'd in all 5 9mm guns plus my 1911. After I got bored with the ball and dummy drills, I sold off that junk and never looked back. Meanwhile Wolf runs great in my ARs and AKs. Never again in pistols however!I unironically buy Wolf Military Classic because it malfs so often in my Glock 19. Its like a ball and dummy drill in a box.
You can't buy accuracy.Funny off topic story...
I took the Designated Patrol Marksman course that the state put on (It was actually really good), and guys were laughing at my steel cased wolf .223 that I was shooting. They weren't laughing when it was shooting 2moa out of an off the rack rifle at 200 yards and I was watching people struggle with their 'quality' ammo.
Dresser - Hull in Lee still sells the nails and screws loose. They are cheaper than the boxed nails at other lumber yards.That picture sent a shiver up my spine.
I don't think anyone sells nails like that anymore.
I remember when we did, what a pain in the ass.
I did keep the old bins but this is how nails are sold today.

Good deal there. Northeast Arms in Peabody has blazer brass 9mm for $8.99 per box. So the same as TSUSA.4 Seasons has S&B on sale for less than .17 cents per round:
Sellier & Bellot 9mm FMJ 115 grain or 124 grain ammunition
This is excellent quality target ammunition.
$8.49 / box = 16.5 cents per round
$169.80/case of 1000 rds
40 box limit per customer. 3,000 boxes available at this price.
I didn't take it that way. He doesn't have any other's he can split cases with, except me, and I'm full.
I'm about to order another 1K of Federal Black Pack 115gr FMJ (4x250 rd packs). $.19/rd. Tell your noob if he wants one of the 250 rd packs, let me know. Now he has someone to split a case with.
Yep. Nails, screws, brads all come in those little boxes now.That picture sent a shiver up my spine.

Most hardware stores did this, and Spag's. Some places still do. Same with bird seed. Same with peanuts. Same with other things. Ever see a pickle barrel? I don't think most ammo would work well like this, but I think bulk .22 would.Wait, so back in the day, you could take a trough and scoop nails into a bag and weigh it by the pound?? f***in A! I would buy nails just so I could do that. "Ehh, I think this is a big job, might need another pound of nails just in case"

You can cast for less than $100 in startup costsYeah it sucks, I've gone shooting once in the past year and my stockpile still looks like crap to me. Lowest it's ever been. Luckily I was able to walk away with a ton of reloading gear, everything plentiful except projectiles, which get pricey at times. I could really use some cheap .45 factory seconds or pull downs but not really in the budget.
<Gotta love the NES skinflints. The same ones who drove 30mins to save a nickel on a tank of gas take a longer drive to save a few bucks on ammo.
Me wantHere you go:

I just heard back from him, he said to tell you "Thanks" but he bought 2 of the Blazer 250round buckets at Four Seasons. 500 rounds? Where is he gonna find storage space for all that...?I'll let him know. Awfully nice of you to offer.

I’m going to get a case of 9mm soon for the range, any brand recommendations? Many have worked well with my M&P9, only one I didn’t like was Remington, very dirty.
