Thinking about making my own plinking/range rounds for a few different MSRs. I already have all the needed tools....press, tumbler, dies, trimmer, etc. I'm looking for advice concerning components.
Concerning bullets, for simple range stuff is sticking with 55gr fmj the easiest/most economical...
Selling a couple VERY lightly used pieces of motorcycling luggage.
First is a large main/sissy bar bag. It measures 18"w/11"d/11"h. It has 2 end compartments that can expand some if needed. It has a hard bottom and internal reinforcing so it keeps it's shape well. It also has 2 built in velcro...

Not exactly breaking news, but I saw mention of this somewhere else so I thought I would pass it along.
Another interesting figure from the article is $1 billion dollars. That's the amount of ammo backorders that Vista Outdoors currently had at that time!!
Seems like forever since I've had the time, but it worked out today and I got to send some lead downrange with my 629 and GP100. Over the winter I gave them both some love with new Altamont grips. Love the snakeskin on the Ruger, and the walnut Bateleur is damn fine feeling in the hand.

I thought it might be interesting to see how high some common calibers will get during this crazy time.

While firearm availability and pricing seem to be calming down a bit, ammo is still pretty hard to find at anything but "you gotta be joking" prices. Got this recently from SGAmmo which explains a lot...

Had yesterday off so I went out by my mom's place south of Michigan City. After hanging with her for a bit, I dropped and cut up a few smaller borer-kill ash trees. I then set up a couple plates at 50 and 100yds and got to stretch the legs of my 2 wheelguns....lottsa fun!
