reloading is fun no doubt. and i in my past life got to know scott urschel and mike dillon personally. scott machined all of dillons parts. i being the factory sandvick rep and my local dist DOALL's salesman jim austin are all dyed in the wool shootists, and sold them all their machine tools. bazzillions of dollars worth.
just went into dillon the other day and picked up some wilson combat mags for my .45's. the place was packed with customers. hmmmm this gun fever stuff aint going away.
anyway my hunting puedner has all the reloading goodies. i bought critical dies for my fave rounds that he doesnt have. what i have and what he has pretty much covers the gamut. all i do is look at speer hornaday sierra reload manuals and as mentioned pick a RECIPE and then go from there. really have never had a problem until one day...........................
my BUDDY DECIDED TO SPRAY ALL HIS BRASS DOWN WITH WD-40!!!!!
NOT GOOD.........ACTUALLY REALLY REALLY BAD!
DEACTIVATED ALL THE PRIMERS SO NO BOOM JUST CLICK!
that lot of ammo when into the ash can.
so............NEVER USE WD-40 EVER AROUND RELOADING COMPONENTS!
anyway i solved my dilemma the other day by doing the following.
surfed net for all ammo prices i need. man shipping will kill you unless ya buy a HELL OF ALOT!
checked local places like j&g in prescott-wayyy too high prices.
ended up after 2 weeks of fricking blinding myself on the stupid computer going to:
WALLY WORLD(walmart)!!! of all places.
cleaned them out of federal .22 rds 5000
" " federal .45 230jhp 500
" " " federal .44 mag 240jhp 500rds
literally pulled up with shopping cart and off i went. 10 minutes max time. all reloadable.
next i called a 1/2 hr later cdnn in TEXAS and bought a 1000 rds federal 168 bthp match rds.
and 1000 winchester 9mm 115 fmj
4 more m-9 mags
3 more hk-94 30rd sticks german
4 ruger 10/22 rotary 10rd mags
and a host of other gizmos i cant remember. DIRT CHEAP FREE SHIPPING NO TAX!
i then called fulton armory and ordered some m1a mags got the last juans on shelf.
i then called springfield armory and got the loaded discount on some more m1a mags and other m1a goodies.
i then called hk parts in utah and ordered A FREEKING SLEW OF GIZMOS for hk 91 and hk-94 and hk usp compact 9mm. all the crap i have wanted for 25 years plus. kid in a candy store. XMAS FOR ME BIGTIME!
went on hkpro and scrounged a total of 7 hk p9s .45 mags. waiting on hk p9s .45 to show up today at local scottsadale ffl i know. wait a couple days for ffl check that im not charley manson(charley dont surf!), get that in my grubby hands tear it apart and inspect then go blast 50rds and off it goes to hk georgia for refinishing and any upgrades i can think of.
and............i had az lock and safe come over and poo can my old POS PITA dial combination on one of my safes and retrofit with new zoomy zoomy full race electronic lock mechanism and im in that sucker in about 1.2 seconds instead of fighting with goofy ass tumbler. smartest damn thing i did this year! when i walk by i open it just for drill and giggles. its SO COOL!
so i have done my part for the economy of america. i have made it strong. i have made it vibrant. i have made it glow. i am glowing knowing that if the zombees attack, i will grab my hk p9s with seven mags full of jhp rounds and run to the safe and in 1.2 seconds i will have my grubby lil hands on seriass anti zombee firepower!
all im looking for now is a good deal on .30 carbine(1000 rds) of soft points or hollow point reloadable rds.
my supply is high and my demand is low now! zombees dont like that!
