    My friends make cast bullet's for me
    The 148gr .38 lyman moulds
    Make for an extremely accurate 9mm load
    Barely any muzzle flip.
    You have to add linotype to cast bullet's to be used in magnum's
    Or you'll be scrubbing barrel's all day.

    :doh:I sure hope he teaches himself to reload. Shew. I guess the saying "if you can't afford to shoot, don't" applies heavily for most now. But that bore is really fun to shoot. Nowadays if anyone is shooting. It's .22 bought from 4 years ago up to a year ago.

    Nah he just won't tell him if he finds anymore
    He'll hide them until next rabbit season.

    I got a 45-70 this past spring when the riots started and immediately stocked up on ammo. It was expensive then at $1.50-$2 a round and up. Now its $4.25 a round if I can find it.:picard:

    If you cast or want to get into casting I'm trying to get some ppl together to do a group buy of a mold from NOE.
    SC460-350-RF-AE1 4 Cavity RG4 PB Brass | NOE Bullet Moulds Is one mold I'm looking at.
    Doesn't have to be brass either it's just what I'd like to get. I'm not sure if the guy would make different mold from different materials?
    I've never ordered from this place, all I think I know is he requires an order of 10? before he will machine them.
    A guy on another forum was looking into it, I'm still waiting to hear if he is interested in going this route so it may never happen..
    It is a gun related forum so I'm hoping more folks will chime into his thread.

    Sounds like a real good option. I need to get into hand loading before looking into casting.

    I had a laugh at that one. My oldest blew through about 50rds of .22 no biggy but I explained the current cost of goods just to drive it home. Ammo isn’t cheap. I have a .410. Fun to shoot but a novelty. Single shot from the 1930s.

    Bill O'Reilly says one way Biden is going to exercise gun control is to put restrictions on ammo manufactured outside US. I'm not sure what method he would use. Tariffs? I also don't know what part of total ammo is imported.

    That's why I said hurry.
    Natchez seemed to have a large variety of ammo today
    When they did it Instock.
    It would be wise if anyone wants anything to register at all the online retailers
    So you can purchase faster.

    Literally aside from one kind of very expensive 30-06 ($48 for 20 rds) everything was out of stock. Nice to see another place that doesn't jack up the prices though. I saw 50 rds of 9mm, that while out of stock were like 17 a box.

    That may be an old price for their stock a year ago. Since they are out, no need to update the price.
