but .223 easily costs a lot more if your getting anything decent. Would love to find some 55gr v-max at a reasonable price.
Time to start reloading! The components are out there, and the price will be lower!

Cost to reload with V-Max bullet is about 60 cent per round ($12/box of 20).
 
Then, you can also use it as a bed or seat if needed lol.

And if you'd have gotten a tractor theres all sorts of things you can do with attachments like a skidding winch lol.

And if you have two tractors or a tractor and a skid you can use one as a step and the other to pull back leaners 🤣

Have the components been coming down in cost a lot recently, seeing many better deals on ammo, I plan on doing a lot more shooting :yes:.
 
Tell me about it! The tracks will probably get hear before the skid. How am I supposed to unload the tracks out of my pickup without anything to pick with!!!🤷🤣🤣
I'm sure you'll figure something out.... like back up real fast and stomp the brakes😉.

As ironic as it may seem, till ammo prices started going nuts, I never loaded 223 or 9mm. Always bought in bulk for range ammo, and would join in on group buys for application specific ammo. When ammo prices started getting nutty again I stocked up, but the decent stuff ran out quick. Thought about loading but had plenty on hand. Looked for dies and about puked when I saw the prices. I just need to suck it up and start buying dies again.
 
Thats why I fondly refer to my kubota as a diesel powered wheel barrow. Save my back a ton.
Heck yeah. I remember thanking God for multiplying my strength when I got my first one :).
I like to call it my Japanese whatever I'm doing with it.
Here's one with it as a "Japanese Felling Apparatus":laughing: . Farmer Steve really likes these ones ;).
 
When I got my tractor I was able to start selling some implements since I had a way to move them around/load them for people.

It's amazing the uses I've found for the loader. One that I really liked was using it as a giant "step" to work under the hood of the trucks lol.
Hard to think of how many things I found to do with it.
Here's a few.

Heck yeah man! Nice!👍
I'd definitely love to have both a skid steer and a tractor!

Maybe I will one day? 🤷 Who knows?
 
Been a while since I had to get 22mag, but last round I bought was $9.00 for a brick. I don't expect to have to buy again for the rest of my life, but .223 easily costs a lot more if your getting anything decent. Would love to find some 55gr v-max at a reasonable price.
V-max ftw!
I love that stuff, I got a few k rounds back before stupid-19
