My brother reloads his own ammo and I saw his setup yesterday. He couldn't believe I paid $100 for 200 rounds of the 40S&W practice rounds I picked up at Gander Mountain. He said if I picked up the powder, he'd load me some. His preference is for Winchester 231 and for 8#, he'll load me 800 rounds.

Best price I've seen thus far is at Mid South Shooters Supply at $160 shipped, so I just pulled the trigger. Backorder on the powder is ~ 10 days according to the site.

I'm not a twitter geek by any means, but I searched AR-15 and saw that there are over 1M PMAG's on backorder now. Just imagine what that number is when you figure all manufacturers of 30 round magazines.

If I get into 3gun next year, there's no doubt I'll need to start reloading my won.

You should take a look at Vitha Vhori (sp) powder really clean and even burn so you get better muzzle velocities without a weapon rending increase in chamber pressures. For Pistols 3N37 is a very good choice and for medium to large bore rifles N300.

And the number of guns bought in 2012 borders 3,000,000! Obama certainly helped out the firearm industry's bottom line lol

Justin think that number maybe a little low - 2,900,000 back ground checks in December alone!!! Up almost 50% from the previous record in December 2008.

No doubt Barrack Hussein Obama is the top firearms sales person of all times

spectrrr · 01-10-2013, 09:26 AM

2,900,000 background checks, and that's not counting multiple purchases on one check

Yep-my call yesterday was for the Shield and 2 stripped lowers. There will be another call made though when I pick up my other Shield in a week though.

Question for any of you who have picked up multiple items at a FFL:

Have you been charged for each item or just per call? I was expecting to pay $25 for each item, but he only charges $25 for all of it as he charges by the call, not the number of items.

Its only $20-$25 per check even if you have 2 firearms, I believe if you have 3 or more firearms the dealer needs to complete what is called a multiply sale form which will delay the process.

He told me I could buy as many long guns in the same purchase as I wanted, but the minute you have 2 handguns in the same purchase, I fill out a form with all of my personal information, type of gun, serial number, etc. that is faxed to the state before I even walk out of the store.

Hence, I'm waiting to go back for a week and pay the additional $25 so the state doesn't get that info.

Digs · 01-10-2013, 11:03 AM

IN maybe a little different then Pa.
In Pa you could do another back ground check moments after you did the first. Just can't have 3 or more on the same form.

spectrrr · 01-10-2013, 11:38 AM

I called all the local dealers here, b/c I have a few stripped lowers on order, and all of them said they charged PER ITEM received, not per shipment.
