    Fun place to look around at. Not gonna buy much with the prices they charge. Nothing in stock for handgun reloading, no powder, primers, cases or bullets. Kinda sad. Looked at reloading equip but again, big money there.
    Got to see the fish in the big tank :)

    Hand load .com I have heard is good as well???

    Our cabelas has plenty of stuff. Their powders are slim but I just thought that was the norm there? I have some old like 20 year old h110. Was gonna load some 44 with it.

    Lol. :rofl: :lol: I feel for you not being able to buy online. Have you compiled a list of places that will ship to you yet?

    I know a guy that went over a year and finally bought online but over paid just to get some. Even more reason to stock up when you see them if you can. Every time I buy some I always get way more than what I need. I'm gonna start looking for cases of 10k now. My hoarding tendencies have morphed to components AND fire wood.

    I hear ya Chris. And yes, I'm about to put a short list together. I have a couple trips to NH planned in the next few weeks and I think I need to collect as I go. I'm also going to try to list a few places that will sell to Mass from online. Everything but primer and powder.
    My son stopped by yesterday to say Hi for Father's Day and spend a little time. He brought me a box of 100 of .380. Will be fun to put some rounds through the Taurus again. The bad news, they got $25 for the box...Massachusetts robbery

    $25 per 100 is the going rate here in indy at wal mart. You wont find it any cheaper period. At least here. Don't feel so bad. The days of cheap ammo are over.

    .380 is always out of stock and when it is on a shelf they get a pretty penny for it. I think $25 is high considering a box of 9mm runs about $14.50.

    On a side note, does anyone ever follow (or have seen) hickok45 on youtube? I saw a 30 minute video of him this morning and he seems to know what he's doing. Very talkative for the camera, fluent in GUN talk and reloading.
    just wondering...

    Oh Yea hickok45 is huge. The guy is a bit crazy and dry humor but he is a good guy knows his gun history and knows releasing and can shoot! Watch him hit the gong at 150 yards with the 45 long Colt pistol!!!

    You can trust anything the guy says. Many guns he shoots are liners and he goes to the shows and is at some vendor booths sometimes.

    Hickock45 is VERY respected in the firearm community. He very well may be the most watched person on you tube regarding firearms and testing.

    He's well worth the time to watch and listen to imo.

    Also...9mm is $15 per 50 rounds (not 100) here (wal mart) so it's no different than 380 $ wise. Ymmv.

    WalMart here used to carry ammo and some supplies. Once the laws started to change so did the walmart gun supplies.

    I thought I read somewhere he had passed 1k, I could be mistaken. He does have a lot.
    It's amazing how well he shoots with a subcompact, double taps at like 30 yds, he only has like 1 miss out of 6 shots.
