Of the MHFD’s that arrived the other day, fifteen cases were for me & the girlfriend. (Because, really, al my acquisitions now are for me and her rather than just me). So, she see’s the five foot high stack of boxes in the kitchen and says “You know, I think we’re doing okay for food.” I agreed and said it was probably time to move onto something else. Her reply? “Ammo.” Well, you can never really have enough, can you?
Just got back from CostCo with 2 50# bags of rice to replace the pre-Y2K stash that I’ve finally finished. The girlfriend helped me funnel both bags into a 15 gallon blue barrel and didnt think there was a single thing wierd about the whole thing. Anyone else, their wife or girlfriend would roll their eyes and sigh someting about ‘wierd interests’.

Ordered up the .38/.357 conversion for the Dillon Super1050 today. .38 Special ammo ( and to some degree, .357 Mag ammo) are dirt cheap to load and quite versatile. Plus, I;ve got about a dozen guns here chambered for them. Most of the .38 ammo will get LSWC or LRN bullets for general use. The rest will get 125 or 110 JHPs. The .357 ammo will mostly get 125 and 158 JHPs and some will get heavier bullets designed more for penetration than anything else. Quantity desired? 5,000. One evening with the 1050 will be all it takes.

Got the dealer package for Stag Arms today. Their lowers are cheap, cheap, cheap and more interestigly, you can pay an extra $20 and get a letter from the factory stating the lower you have was never built into a rifle. This leaves you open to build it into an AR pistol if youre so inclined. If we get another assault weapons ban those ‘pistoled’ receivers would probably be worth more, IMHO, since you vould hten build them into rifles or pistols.

Soooooooo…. are we talking group buy here?
What do you think of the HSM reloads? I’ve been getting their 9mm and so far they’ve been shooting very well.
I remember when she first moved out there you were a bit freaked because your food supply was now only half what it needed to be. At what point did you get caught up?
Hmmm…hadnt thought about it. I suppose its possible. I’ll crunch the numbers and see what we can come up with.
They go bang. Thats about all I can say about them with any certainty. Locally their ammo is generally considered ‘blasting’ ammo….for busting up rocks and beer cans. Win. White Box or Re. UMC is proably on par or better.
Dunno…just kept adding. I think that right now for the two of us its upwards of 9+ months. Probably between that and a year, but appetite fatigue might set in.
Interesting.
$20 for pistol letter? Hmmm…. for CYA people now, maybe. Interesting insurance if things go completely haywire in a legal sense.
$102 ea. $122 if you want it the papers to show it was never built into a rifle. $10 flat shipping regardless of quantity. +3% for PayPal/CC. Buyer pays local FFL fees.
Thats tentatively how Im thinking it would run. Need to have total orders for at least a dozen to make it worth the effort though. Maybe enough people would be interested to make that minimum.
i’d say its worth it to at least make a conditional post to see how much interest there is. maybe even put a post in the guns community. i’d do at lest 2.
Her reply? “Ammo.”

Only one obvious question.
Sister?
