That's why we have a complete manufacturing facility in the garage.

So the 500 S&W should be here in a week or two. I'll take it to the range and post photos when I get the chance.
I will soon too. Just needed some brass to start back up with! My dad sent his 44 cal off to someone and had it transformed into a .475 Linebaugh. Im definitely gonna have to take a pic and post it when he brings it out at the next g2g.

Oh, I know it, but a lot of folks around my area dont know it. Besides, a well placed round is always better!

That's about right.I picked up a Browning BDM last week and at the little ammo store at the flea market they were from $17 to $28 depending on brand

Local gun shows can be a way to pick up affordable new/used brass...kinda depends.

You're telling me.

Its a required certification class for anyone working in the industry.

Apparently I should know this stuff if I create marketing materials for the sale of such products.

Right on, I carry a .40 Glock, model 23. Sub compact, 13+1.

They make us shoot TMJ at the range here, which is probably why I go out in the woods somewhere. Your prices are the same as mine here. I can get fmj, 185g for 12.99 for 50 at walmart, if they have any. Everywhere else is $23...

Hello Brent. Work go well today? Sorry the little one isn't feeling well.

Mark, my truck is to stock looking to worry about entering.

I need to give Lisa a belated thank you. You suggested I cook Lynn dinner this weekend. I made Sesame Chicken and also Sweet & Sour Chicken. They turned out ok for a first try at both but I think with a few adjustments next time they will be pretty darned tasty. Thanks again!
