Just wanted to give a head's up about Hi-Tek coated 125 gr 9mm bullets I ordered from Hoosier Bullets and Training. These cost me $67.00/1000. ($75.00 with shipping). I ordered them on 12/22 and had them about a week later. They seem to be somewhat hit or miss on their stock, but update frequently. I've shot many thousands of Powder Coated bullets, but these are my first using the Hi-Tek process. I like 'em! I loaded up some using 5.0 grs of Unique and 5.5 grs Unique (It's the powder I have the greatest supply of currently and I like Unique anyway, so there's that). My Shield likes the 5.0 grs best. This should run around 1050 fps out of my G19, which I usually use to chrono my handloads. I actually need to chrono these so I'm not just guessing... I shot them at ranges from 3 yards to 15 yards today in my Glock 19 and S&W Shield. No issues in any manner. I know components of all sorts are scarce these days. I'm glad I learned of these folks. Anyone else using Hi-Tek coated bullets? If so, what makers or do you coat your own? Please ignore the notes on the Everglades and Rocky Mountain Reloads...previous range session notes...

Good Lord @kvmx00! I hope you and all involved are OK. Wow. What a way to start 2021...

I hate it that you just might be right.

Well this pretty much sums up my feelings about this... After 2020, all I can say is Hang On! But I certainly wish everyone and Blessed and truly Happy New Year!

I appreciate the head's up @Beltfed. I don't personally have a need...but there's always that want thing LOL You just never know. It is still 2020 for a few more hours

I'm not familiar with them, but appreciate the head's up. Thank you. Does anyone know anything about them? I did read their "About Us" on their website. Just being cautious, not negative.

Welcome. Glad to have you here.

Prayers sent up as well. God Bless and keep you.

Praying everyone is, and will remain, safe and sound. 2020 just won't stop...

Merry Christmas to our TGO Family! God Bless and keep you all.

I received that email too @Grayfox54. Incredible.

Welcome Scott. Glad to have another Community Coffee drinker on board We've been in TN since late 2005 but worked St. Bernard, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Orleans, and even Washington Parish for about 20 years prior. Sure miss the Gulf seafood, but TN is a darn fine place to be. Great people and we actually have 4 seasons here! LOL

I am "Shamelessly" addicted! Lord help I grew up around people like that!

Frank. I've been watching Shameless on Netflix. No way I'd eat any on that food!

I'm shocked That takes a lot of trust @DeepSouth. I'm not saying I would absolutely rule it out, but I'd have to know and trust the individuals involved. Perhaps I'm a bit too skeptical at this point in my life. I'm glad that worked out for you.

Glad you are recovering Robin!

Shades of the "Hive of scum and villainy"! While I may not post as much as I once did and still probably post too much ( lol ), I do read here each and every day. I gain a lot from the shared wisdom and experiences of members & mods here and have greatly appreciated the information exchange. I (hope) I've learned from my mentors to keep my input towards things I might be able to meaningfully contribute to. I've fallen short at times. But I've certainly learned to simply ignore certain topics or thread drifts. It's easy, just keep scrolling... but it was getting a bit more challenging to find meaningful civil discussion and information as of late. TGO is "family". Sometimes a bit dysfunctional, but "family" nonetheless. Heck, some of the best people I know I've met through TGO. This is my interweb home and I'm blessed for it. I really appreciate the hard work of the mods and even more David hitting the "Reset Button". Thank you! Now I think I'll mosey along and read some about guns and shootin' stuff.

Prayers also for a speedy and uneventful recovery.

And this is just at the potential threat they present. Wait until they actually start introducing legislation, especially if Georgia falls into their hands. Things are gonna get interesting.

Mr. Pride was a genuine talent and one of the true country music greats. My father was a big fan. I always appreciated his music. RIP and Thank you Mr. Pride.

Their normal shipping costs are high, but Midway has frequent "Free Shipping" periods and send email notifications of such. I've done business with Midway for a long, long time. I keep several categorized lists on there and it's not unusual for Midway to notify me via email when "things you like are on sale". Of course the Free Shipping usually has a $50.00 floor. Somehow I find it only too easy to meet that floor.

I've never purchased and pdf formatted magazines, but I have several I've downloaded off of the interwebs. So I guess you can't keep all of them from being copied. They are vintage, or simply old gun mags, but I enjoy reading them nonetheless. I have Adobe on this laptop and on my phone. I've sent a few to my Kindle via Amazon (there's instructions on their site). But I am seriously "technologically challenged" and have no idea how to post the pdf's to a forum format or if it would even be the right thing to do. Copyrights and all.

Thank you @FALCnR also.

@Erik88 Thank you sir. Definitely interested.

Congrats! And thanks for sharing your adventure!
