    This is what $50.00 Looks like in a Pandemic World!

    I can't believe that in California 7.62X39mm is going for $1.00 US (1.34 Canadianicon or 0.86 Euro), especially for TulAmmo! I can't even afford to shoot the SKS's I just bought, guess I need to buy some dies for 7.62x39mm

    A buck a shot for 7.62x39...who'd have thought. I'm just in midst of loading 2000 rds of 5.56 so I have lots. Now I know why...

    I have a TON of once-fired 5.56 Military brass and NO 5.56 or .223 firearm.... its pick up casing after the military uses our range.

    And a mini 14 would be too simple for you. I have a Remington 700 heavy barrel for that, and if we get them back after election my M4gery.

    I'd love a Mini-14 but the prices have kept me away, I'd rather have a mini-30. I would be more apt to go the Rem 700 route as well, bolt actions are my first love.

    me too on the brass. been collecting it whenever people leave it. I figure my brass will wear out at some point and it's always nice to have it on hand. However, their is only 4 primer manufacturers
    Great Primer Shortage of 2020
    Right now, 20 bucks looks like a single flat of 100 primers, or $200 looks like a brick unless you get real lucky.

    good news is you buy a few bricks of primers on gun broker, or you can fly to Italyicon and buy a few bricks of primers for about the same price!

    My Rem-700

    My APRS blue printed G series custom Rem-700 ceracoated with heavy fluted 26" match grade Keiger Bbl 1-10 Twist, Wild Dog stock, Basix trigger, NF 15-55 Competition scope. With the load data APRS supplied I have not changed it one bit with the 168Gn A-Max Hornady. The DOPE charts I have for it are 20 degrees C and 40 Degrees C from 100 - 1000Yds in 10Yd increments with this load & scope it will do .3's and less at a 100m if I do my bit.
    This was set up by the Sniper cell Team leader from Perth TRG at a 5 day shooting clinic I attended with him.

    Biscuits was ever the optimist thinking he was coming to the range as well..................
