      Old timey powder tins

      They’ll be at the Bloomington show. Call their shop and put in an order for pick up at the show. They are nearly out of 4064 and the worldwide powder shortage is going to get worse.

      Who uses solid brass 12ga shells, and for what?

      Commonly called the “From Hell” series. 12ga most common. They use heavy machined hulls, such as from Rocky Mountain. The Magtech are thin, ballon-head style and won’t take nearly as much pressure. Forming 24ga ones into 577/450 M-H, an old low pressure cartridge that is still higher than...

      Who uses solid brass 12ga shells, and for what?

      I have read that supposedly you can form and trim them to make Martini Henry cases. The 24ga ones yes. 12ga no. The 24ga makes 577 Snider and 577/450 M-H. Quote not working...

      WARNING!!! WATCH OUT FOR ONLINE RELOADING SCAMMERS!!!

      I've had two emails come to me in the last two days saying someone tried to log in here on INGO and that if it wasn't me, I need to change my password. Seems like things are a real mess right now.

      RareBreed FRT trigger declared a machinegun.

      Your assessment is correct. And I wouldn't buy anything from BigDaddyUnlimited.

      Ammo Prices...Seem to be coming down

      Not too surprising. It's quality control that is missing, so most batches are "ok", some are borderline functional and dirty (like ancjr above), and some are dangerous to the point they have to have a recall (like is currently underway for several lots of WWB/Browning/Herter's). Making...

      It hurts because it's true. I miss the Carhart of old.

      Ammo Prices...Seem to be coming down

      Most Browning ammo is made by Winchester. Some of the Browning products are Browning designs, but made for them by Winchester (Olin). Other products, like the 9mm FMJ in the recall, is the same stuff just with a different headstamp and in different packaging. The primary difference in the...

      Yep, same crappy ammo, different box. Browning is a "lifestyle" brand now :rolleyes:

      How TPTB Are Restricting Your Gun Rights, Without New Laws...

      Trump caught a whole lot of hell for his bumpstock ban and rightfully so. The VEPR ban was barely a blip on the radar screen in comparison. Reagan and Bush Sr. both also caught hell for the anti-gun stuff on their watch, but Reagan also had positives such as mail order ammo being OK again, old...

      More Turkish 9MM Arriving

      Various Turk ammo (9mm and 12ga) has been on the market here for a while now (several months and examples include Yavex, Venom, ZQI, and Ozkursan in 9mm and BPS, Zuber, and Sterling in 12ga). The SAR branded stuff is just the most recent. Interestingly, primers for some of the Turk 9mm came...

      Cutting Back on Ammo Use

      Sorry, but I'm not buying this - at all. First, and most important point: .22 rimfire is made on dedicated, separate, production lines using several pieces of equipment that are fundamentally different than what is used for centerfire. Manufacturers absolutely are NOT converting a line from...

      Ammo recall Response time

      You're not the only one having problems with Winchester and this recall. And people wonder why I tend to recommend brands like PPU instead. It's a shame that Winchester is such a historic name in the industry. I like their company history and a lot of their OLD products, but their new stuff...
