I don't know...It's a monthly kind of thing.  I allot myself a monthly amount.  I also bought 2 scopes off 24hr campfire (one is a red dot) and a custom leather holster for FNX-45, but that came earlier in the month. I need to start buying more expensive (better) .308 ammo.  I found this forum by searching DPMS Gen II feeding issues.  some good info...I think I fixed it today.

250rnds to try out. The M80 I got from them was good to go.

On a different note. I ordered a luminox divers watch from Midway USA last Friday. Received the tracking info Saturday.  Supposed to be here Friday. Nope it's in Tennessee somewhere. The shipping was free but if I knew this I would have paid for UPS or priority mail. This UPS/mail innovations/post office bullcrap to save a few cents SUCKS. The pony express delivered stuff 2 states away faster.

True but not watches. I like the luminox watch. I have never owned on but I like their looks. I’m currently rocking a seiko orange monster (3rd one) and an oceanic f11. Somewhere I have an old citizens dive watch but never really liked it as it ate batteries for snacks. Someday I’ll have a tag Helier. Casio gshock is tempting for a cheap knock around

Stick around a while even if you fixed your problem. This place is a blast no thread “stay on target” nazis here so most all threads go wondering in the general direction intended....Well maybe some do anyway.... Ok occasionally one does.

I haven’t ordered anything in a while other than some 375 socom magazine bands -not that they could be mistaken for a 556 or anything. I need to place an order for some more bullets and brass for my 260 rem. Mixed brass is causing some consistency probs I think with the load development and I’m just about out of bullets. Trying to decide if trashing good brass (lapua or Peterson) is how I want to go or just settle on star line and use it for some consistency.

I've been looking at getting a Luminox,  but keep changing my mind which one I "defiantly " want. 

Just have a couple inexpensive ones for  now. A blacked out Casio & a Timex Expedition. Both glow for a while after light exposure, the Timex also has a blue indigo light.

Those are good pistols. A friend had one, never a glitch. If 9mm is a good round for you, this is a good choice.

My EDC guns are a Sig P365XL & P226. 9mm works just fine for me 😁

Why small primer over large?

Supposedly get more reloads and I read more consistent ignition - never tried them figured I’d give it a whirl. Prob a bunch of bs but as long as they’ll work I’m game for a change.

Ordered 147 gr., 7.62 x 51 from (ugh!) Cabela's. Everybody, ie. Target Sports, is out of the cheaper .308.

It'll be good for plinking.

Not sure what you paid at Cabela's.  This is $329/500.

Well this Ruger Wrangler decided it needed to live at my house. Cast frame you can see mold marks in a few spots. Lots of mim parts. Recessed chambers in the cylinder. Decent factory trigger pull. Hard for my old eyes to see the sights but I was ringing steel on a 8" plate at 10 yds. $199.00 plus tax.

On a separate note Midway's fukd up shipping finally got my watch to me.
