Ship ammo to Ca no more

[mlancaster]

It refers specifically to "prohibited persons". That's the differentiator. That's why law-abiding handloaders will still be able to order bullets via mail order and make their own ammunition with it.

Cool Beans, so I can still buy bulk bullets and reload them???

[Cowboy T]

Yep, as long as you're not a "prohibited person", you're good to go.

And that's why I keep saying, "why isn't every shooter in California getting set up to reload?" Something like a Lee Classic Turret Press is not that expensive!

not into reloading so i dont have a clue about it.is it easy to find once fired brass and all the rest for 7.62x39?

[Cowboy T]

Not for 7.62x39 and most other Com-block cartridges, but you definitely *can* find 7.62x39 brass/Boxer *ammo*, which you can reload. Cabela's often has sales on MFS ammo in 7.62x39 (box of 20 for $6.99).

As for bullets, you typically need .311" projectiles if you're shooting through an AK-47, SKS, or Mosin-Nagant. I haven't tried to buy .311" jacketed bullets, as I will cast my own projectiles. But I do recall them being available. In a pinch, .308" jacketed will "do", but likely won't give you the same precision in Com-block firearms.

I'd like to, but even though the roommates are fine with the SKS in the house, I doubt their goodwill would extend to gunpowder...

Though, I have considered the Lee hand press thing, that needs no bench/is handheld. Hell, I only have 60 casings anyway, no need for a massive operation. But still, I don't think we should be forced to acclimate to the state. Hell, I thought our government was "for" the people, not "against them."

Oh well.

Then get the Lee "Handloader" the $25 kit that uses a hammer. That will do your 60 cases with minimum cost/effort.

Good idea, Lead Waster, and Ergo would only need maybe a lb of powder for that and a few hundred primers. He could do it in his bedroom totally unobtrusively. Here's a video of Richard Lee himself using that Lee Loader ("Handloader") kit.

Granted, it neck-sizes only, but if I had only 60 cases, I'd be doing slightly downloaded loads anyway to preserve my brass as long as possible. Doesn't really need to cycle the action (you can do that manually), because marksmanship is #1 anyway.

Ammo man saays get your order in by the 21th.
Why are they doing this? Besides hating gun owners they will now get sales tax on all ammo sales. I am sure thaat was a big factor.

Thankfully CMP is still sending ammo to CA, just ordered 400 rds.

I was also thinking it had something to do with money like $ales tax. But does ammo really make up that much of out of state online purchases? I would be willing to bet that Californians spend more money at amazon.com in a week then people buying online ammo do all year.

[greybeard]

I suspect you are right and does not make up that much but if they tried doing that with Amazon, they would had been unemployed.

The C*(&T liking bastards are on a power trip and want to shove COMMI idea's into the Nation I know this because its were my pops was before coming to the US now the same ideas and forced laws are arising just like it did when the MOTHER F&$KIN RUSSIANS invaded Romania and from there the communist regime started. Citizens of Romania were little by little disarmed and left with there penis's in there hands having to fight agains a FOUCKED UP government. FU^&*^*$&^%(*&^%&K them. My pops happened to be in the military and couldnt wait until **** broke out so he can shoot him come F'ING commies. I really like the New Orleans groups that stood up to their rights. This will be the only way to true freedom. F^*K its always in sweat and blood of the free citizens. God Help Us All to protect our God given freedom.

[hcbr]

well you guys helped me out, i guess i'm going to buy that lee classic turret press! it gives me a good excuse anyways since i have a 10mm G20, and reloading will help me get that cost of ammo down!
