Yeah, he's a talker for sure, but I do listen.

I've been considering it, the K2 has gotten a bit expensive. But, if it works, is it really expensive.

Not much talking, but I did get to smell a bit of K2 .

Nobody stocks your brand in my home town anymore, or much of anything else for that matter.

I don't know anyone here who does either, I buy a good sized jug when I get it.

Just couldn’t help myself, little kindling maker

23in fiskars

Brought both dogs with me, they were trying to either make babies or fight every other dog at Tractor supply and the parking lot.

Made for a fun time

Went for, Ready for this…, pig feed

Saw 20% off and had to buy the Fiskars

 

[jellyroll]

How many you want? What specifically are you looking for, personal protection or practice?

Personal protection.

 

[Sawyer Rob]

I want a faster splitter with a lift and maybe a 4-way.
Also I want to make it self propelled, but also to be able to tow if needed.

I'm planning to make mine towable, I'd like to be able to use it to exercise my old tractors.

Just looked, only 100 pieces of brass

But I can make them into 100 more rounds ready to go

Is yours a Marlin or Winchester??

Uncle Mustang, looking at the load data that came from Lee, they have some CFE223 loads listed

But they also have my beloved 3031 listed…

I'm not into rifles other than 22s so I don't know anything about ammo prices. But wow, over a dollar for each round? That's kind of like waterfowl shotgun shells. They've gotton expensive too. Anyone reload their own steel shot loads?

 

[Sawdust Man]

Need to get some more cheap .223 now. The wife just brought home a new in box Ruger Mini-14 ranch rifle they were clearing out for $499.
Have a few hundred rounds of steel case Russian stuff, but can't get that anymore these days.

500 bucks for a mini 14 is a steal!

That’s an awesome deal!! Rub her feet for her tonight, she earned it

Yessir, I do. These are some 3" #3s. I use them for pheasant hunting on WPAs.

Congrats.
Where from?
These guys have done a great job for me, free shipping over 200. Unfortunately they are a bit high right now.

They ain't cheap, 22lr just got down to .05 again if you buy in bulk.

 

[MechanicMatt]

Yeah, she was pretty happy to find it. Last one they had. It's this style..

Don't guess you can use AA hulls? I've got some Winchester Long Range shell high brass hulls but I don't think they're safe to use.

Hell, the cheapest .223/5.56 you can find is gonna cost you at least $0.50 a round today! I've been sitting on a few thousand rounds I picked up probably 6-7 years ago for about half that.

One of my favs is the IMI. .59 per on stripper clips in a can isn't bad, compared to not having anything...
Glad I'm not there yet. They just had them in 62grn for .50 bulk not long ago.

I wish duck shells only cost $0.50 a round.
