IMO, I think you overpaid a little for the bullets. Like 3 cents. But if thats all you can find then you did good.

tomtenney · #**285** 07-13-2013, 9:25 AM

Well thats the think there is very little available and the old price points are hard to find. With any luck being a part of a group will give us all better market information.

I paid 12 to 13 cents if that makes you feel any better
and made the mistake of paying 15 cents during the panic

25k+ has a freight charge

HDgasser · #**291** 07-15-2013, 8:47 AM

Can brass that has the mouth dented like this still be reloaded???

Nirrad · #**292** 07-15-2013, 8:49 AM

I work for a transportation company and all the major motor carriers make daily visits to my warehouse.

But my truck doesn't have the load capacity for a pallet of the stuff.

Are we confirmed for Sunday at Heritage?

I don't see any update on the first post.

Use some needle nose pliers and straighten the mouth out a bit. Then run it through the die. It should be fine as long as the brass didn't fold into the mouth

Cool deal, I think my buddy's Mini14 is hucking these cases like this. I picked up quite a few on Saturday that were like this. Not sure if its normal...

Amazing how quickly you can blow thru 5-600 223's in a couple hours at the range!!

Need to invest in one of those $12 ebay brass catches to attach to the rifle. Saves your brass from getting beat to hell as well as your back from having to shag all of it off the ground.

True... Are those things legal in Ca?? Prolly a stupid question but wouldnt surprise me.

I just ask people around me if they want there brass, most say no. Then I let the range guy know and he sweeps it all to my lane then I use the pooper scooper to fill my bag when we leave!

I need to get up with Nirrad soon to get all this stuff cleaned up and sorted!

Bumslie · #**297** 07-15-2013, 11:21 AM

How would a mesh bag be illegal?

If those things are illegal then I'm outta this State tomorrow

But seriously I can't imagine there being any issue, surely there are some shooters where you go that have them on their guns. It's just a nylon mesh bag with a velcro strap. Just put it on before you shoot and take it off after. I just got mine so haven't tried it out yet.

Nirrad · #**299** 07-15-2013, 11:29 AM

If it's a black mesh bag, that's very evil!

Colt562 · #**300** 07-15-2013, 1:16 PM

I just drove by Hertiage and its much smaller than I remembered, would you guys be opposed to switching it to a pizza place on Spring and Palo Verde. Heritage wont be able to seat all 20 of us.

Nirrad · #**301** 07-15-2013, 1:32 PM

Party of 1 for pizza

Lemme know how it works out for ya... I'd be down to give it a whirl but when you start lining up 5-6 rifles at the range it gets cluttered quickly. Outdoor is a different story...

HDgasser · #**303** 07-15-2013, 2:44 PM

Pizza pizza. Straw hat may be better Colt, I can't remember but I sure they have a room where we could all sit at one table and talk.

I know for sure Ecco's does. (Bellflower & Sterns)

Exodus343 · #**304** 07-15-2013, 3:20 PM

Hmmm so pizza now?
cool cool
what about the time?

CSACANNONEER · #**305** 07-15-2013, 3:23 PM

Cold Pizza and warm beer for breakfast? Sounds like my high school days.

Smart calgunners will read the entire thread this post came from. Others won't. Let's see what happens.

Nirrad · #**307** 07-15-2013, 3:38 PM

Oh crap. Guess you need a mesh brass anti-catcher deflector and a way to catch the deflections.

Colt562 · #**308** 07-15-2013, 4:53 PM

ok so pizza it is, they have a giant room in the back that would work out perfectly. Ill call tomorrow and make reservations.

Its Straw Hat Pizza on Palo Verde and Spring. In the South East corner.

Going to update the first post.

tomtenney · #**309** 07-16-2013, 7:30 PM

Thanks for the tip on extreme. They just got more stock and I placed an order.
They have 223 and 40 s&w in stock.

tomtenney · #**310** 07-16-2013, 7:32 PM

By the way, got free on only 2k mixed 40 and 223.
Thanks Colt562

tomtenney · #**311** 07-16-2013, 7:34 PM

Free shipping

tomtenney · #**312** 07-17-2013, 6:05 AM

Oak Tree has been getting primers on a regular basis. Also, Big 5, of all places, has been stocking primers.

BigBronco · #**314** 07-17-2013, 6:14 AM

I have some Srp. Can bring some to the meet up Sunday.

tomtenney · #**315** 07-17-2013, 7:34 AM

Thanks Big Bronco will bring $.

Should we bring stuff to donate or wait til the clinic?

Syntax Error · #**316** 07-17-2013, 12:51 PM

What day is the meet and greet? IIRC it was this Sunday, but I'd like to confirm. I am interested in participating.

I highly recommend that information is in the first post since having to hunt for the time and date of the event is going to discourage a lot of people from participating.

It should be in the first post in all caps.
