Target Sports Delivering Again - Megathread

[76Too]

Here is the head stamp. The google tells me its from belarus. Not aware of any barnaul ammo plants there.

Not that ship here anyway? 7.62x39 is a pretty popular caliber throughout the world...possible this could be a plant that concentrates primarily on military contracts?

 

[Soundwave]

Ordered a case of Winchester 5.56. After building the AR I figure I'll go through more of it. Should probably re-up my prime membership next year too...

 

[DW357]

Amazed that Aguila SE 22lr ammo for 8.5 cpr shipped, is still in stock from that other vendor.

 

[Sterg]

Done. Thanks...

Great Price for .32acp carry ammo. Seecampable...
(was $21.15 a box in August 2020, now $22.99)

PMC Bronze 32 ACP AUTO Ammo 60 Grain JHP

Thanks. I got the text also and ordered some. Signed up for prime also. When I got the text I was expecting them to be $30.00 or more per box. I was surprised to see it was cheaper than my LGS so I went prime and the price dropped a few bucks more. Worth it.

I tried to find ‘that other vendor’ on my own last week and came up empty handed. Would you mind PMing me the deets, please?

Still waiting on my decoder ring!

Still no 30-30 nor 45-70. Fudd this.

I got a source on 30-30 but it ain’t cheap. Then again it’s ammo loaded with Sierra Bullets. I’ll shoot you a PM.

Where were you last week. Cabelas had 30-30 online.

 

[DW357]

Yes, we did.

Okay how do you do that link wizardry?

Here’s a good read

New ammo made in Belarus

The first batch of cartridges - more than five million pieces - went to one of the European countries… Does anyone have information about the destination country?

forum.cartridgecollectors.org

I would guess this is a way to get Russian ammo out to the world skirting the ban from current evil administration.

 

[BrunoN]

That's some pretty 54r. I'd love some.

Sorry for delay; houseguests.

sorted from newest to oldest).

You did the heavy lifting, thanks.
Three tweaks:

1. I virtually never enter the "Text" into the Insert Link (Ctrl+K) dialog box. I always just:
   1. Type the cleartext of the whole sentence, paragraph, whatever ...
   2. Mouse-select (highlight) the part of the text that will be the link
   3. Hit Bold (Ctrl+B) to bold the text to make it a thicker darker blue (because XenForo's current palette is too anemic)
   4. Hit Insert Link (Ctrl+K) to enter the URL into the URL field of the dialog box - but not change anything in the Text field of the dialog box, which is pre-filled with what I highlighted and bolded above.
2. It took me literally years to find out that if you just paste a nekkid link from a web site that XenForo can (somehow) prefetch for a executive overview, that it renders as a nice boxed thumbnail. I saw NESers doing it every day, but I couldn't figure out how they got the fancy effects.
3. A few dozen sites like Twitter as well as YoutUbe inline as even fancier stuff if you feed the link target's URL to the Media button's dialog box instead of Insert Link (#1 above) or nekked-link-paste (#2) above.

Can, but frustratingly only usually does...

I generally preview those posts
so that I can write a custom link
if XenForo doesn't step up.

Anyone else happy that TSUSA is now including the contents of your order with the Shipping Confirmation email? I am....

how else would government keep track of how much ammo you have?

Lol. The Government knows my favorite Beatles album...

I do like the feature though. Having multiple orders and having to shuffle through "Receipt" and "Shipping Confirmation" emails to see what's due was becoming... tiresome.

I was going to start limiting my purchases, but then I thought... "Nawww"

 

[DW357]

Fred and Denise have Fiocchi 357 magnum in stock for $32.50 per box
They also have 32, 380, and 9mm. Prices aren’t anything special on those

 

[Lxpony]

Just bought 4k of Republic 9mm. Hope it goes bang

Lots of s&b up this morning.
