Thanks RB

I appreciate you sharing the link. Primers are even more costly than I previously thought.
My heart goes out to that worker and her family.

Thank you Eric

The revolver actually came with a full box of Privi. Ammo and I have reloading dies so I really guess I don’t need to form brass yet. I probably won’t shoot it much either,I hear that it’s a loud...

Cha-Ching is right $$$

Glad I still have some W-W for my 17Ackley Bee and my He-Bee.

I really like what they make for both rifle and handguns so far.
