I forgot the name of the maker, I think it has the word "wolf" in it, and is well respected. I think they are not too expensive, and in the long run you save on bullet costs.<br /><br />Make sure though the range you use allows unjacketed rounds, some indoor ranges have rules against this due to air quality concerns.Jewish Marksmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739402278172785076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366328280304127954.post-10194723428266259842009-10-05T10:24:04.308-07:002009-10-05T10:24:04.308-07:00I've been buying primers face to face.

We had a group buy getting organized with Ranier Ballistics - around 30,000 bullets (My order was like 3,000). When we were ready to put in the order, they told use the wait was around 3 months, so we canceled. That's when I started thinking about casting. Problem is, Glock barrels don't like unjacketed lead bullets. Bought a Ruger Old army, though. Still can get caps and balls for it.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785099161219928078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366328280304127954.post-60546425509607663272009-10-02T11:45:57.976-07:002009-10-02T11:45:57.976-07:00I decided to ride out this shortage by focusing on...I decided to ride out this shortage by focusing on 10m air pistol and air rifle. A tin of 500 match grade, top-of-the-line pellets is only about $10. Despite practicing less with my "real" guns, my competition scores are going up...I'm finally flirting with Master level Bullseye pistol scores.<br /><br />What I do is go in the garage where my air traps are, and shoot at scaled down targets. Most evenings I'm doing this while listening to a Chabad parshah commentary in .mp3 downloaded from their site. Great way to relax, think, and shoot all at once.<br /><br />Unfortunately, all my match grade 10m air and smallbore equipment comes from Germany or Austia, but that's okay ;-)<br /><br />Anyway, I've been able to keep my ammo use down while waiting for the primer shortage to pass....it will pass right?!Jewish Marksmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739402278172785076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366328280304127954.post-75006209525834799502009-10-02T11:34:37.890-07:002009-10-02T11:34:37.890-07:00Better collect those wheel weights.

They currently don't have statutory authority, I think, but with this Congress . . . <br /><br />Bullets are scarce now and I have not been finding much out there. I paid a premium for 5000 small pistol primers in a face-to-face deal during the peak of the ammo shortage, but 9mm bullets have been a problem.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785099161219928078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366328280304127954.post-19000451541004210712009-10-02T11:04:27.339-07:002009-10-02T11:04:27.339-07:00The Model 19 in 4" is magnificent.

I spent months trying to find a good deal on a 19, and eventually settled for a deal on a 686. <br /><br />I reload as well. I know some seriously cheap Jews (I mean that as a compliment) that harvest the range berm for lead, then cast their own bullets. Not accounting for time, it brings ammo costs down to pennies a round. I do save all the lead from my 10m air traps, someday I might get into casting or I'll give the lead away.Jewish Marksmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739402278172785076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366328280304127954.post-53372862358477508002009-10-02T10:46:18.604-07:002009-10-02T10:46:18.604-07:00My dad's first "home defense" gun wa...My dad's first "home defense" gun was a S&W Model 19 4 inch .357. He reloaded. My first (as a grownup) was a Series '70 1911 Gov't model. I reloaded (still do). Today, with me, it's a new ball game. I won't post how many guns I have today, but in my bedroom, I have choices of 12 gauge, 5.56 NATO, and 9mm. And elsewhere in my home, lets just say I don't feel under-armed.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785099161219928078noreply@blogger.com
