Its just a powder coated lead bullet:

Bought some new used brass this time out, which brought the sum total to $181.00 for 1000rnds.

Makes fer a swell looking round though:

Dang you PSA . . . just had to go and get AR-9 lowers in stock last week . . . and of course I just had to buy one.
 
Not a purchase really but I inherited a couple side by sides from a relative and I'm having some work done to them. Lgs is cerakoting them and refinishing the wood. One 12ga, one 20ga. Hoping they'll be done this week. I'll post a before and after pic.
 
Thinking about buying a new bolt action . . . 17 HMR or 204 Ruger . . . thoughts?
 
I was thinking about picking up a spotting scope and instead bought one of these on sale. Elcan Specter OS 3x fixed. $699.99 with free shipping. :cool:

.204 because 4400 fps with 24gr NTX superformance or 4225 with 32gr Vmax.

Have you looked at the 17 hornet?

Interesting . . . my brother has a 204 and loves it. Haven't considered the 17 Hornet.
 
Thinking of purchasing a Smith & Wesson 15 Sport II.
Any opinions on it? Gotta get me a ghost gun before Jan 1

My dad has a 204 and absolutely loves it. Pretty cool round. I'm personally not that into the 17hmr, no real reason, just never got into it.

My brother loves his 204 . . . his only complaint is that he has a hard time finding ammo. Then again he doesn't scour the web looking for ammo deals where I've actually been nicely surprised to find plenty of 204 available.

If you can find them . . . :) At least all of my wholesalers aren't offering them at the moment. I guess all of the big box stores are scooping them up and us small time FFLs aren't able to get them.

One of my co-workers has one and loves it. Might consider Windham Weaponry too. I've had one for a few years and have been impressed.

Haha I found one no problem. Purchased it. Have to wait 8 more days... Stupid 10 day waiting period
 
Picked up my new off duty gun. M&P 9c. Qualify with it today. Just need an IWB holster and some defense ammo for it.

Today is fun range day at work transition from our old guns to the new M&P 9's.

Getting about 500 rounds in today.

What's your opinion on the M&P trigger? The couple times I have tried it I was not a fan.
 
Those triggers are beautifully made. The 3 gun version was quite a bit different than I expected. I didn't notice online how much metal was machined away.
