Bump for lower price

I'm tearing the bench down this weekend, last bump if anyone wants it.

Bump. I’ll throw in some 12 gauge wads and a 5 gallon bucket of hulls too.

Alright, who ever takes this thing lucked out. I was digging through my junk and found an old 12 gauge loader I kept for parts. Works fine, but its older and not as pretty. You could swap some of the 12 gauge parts to the newer 20 gauge press, or you could load on this one. Either way, $500 gets you a 12 gauge press and a 20 gauge press.

I’m probably going to disassemble the bench to get it out of my garage this week, if anyone wants it.

Double post.

Also comes with 325 rounds of loaded 20 gauge that you can break apart and use the components, or do whatever you want with.

For $600 I’ll throw in a pound of Clays, 5ish pounds of #8 lead shot and the reloading bench. See pictures. Bench is designed to reload in a circuit for maximum efficiency. Other side of the bench is a mirror image set up for 12 gauge. I’m not selling any of my 12 gauge stuff but you could put a 12 gauge press in it’s place or any other pistol/ticker reloading set up. Bench is 8ft x 3ft.

$400 bucks for the whole shebang. mec 20 gauge loader with automatic primer feed and 7/8 oz charge bar with # 22, 23, 26, and 29 powder bushings 3-5k Winchester AA hulls (estimate, see pic) 3-5k wads (estimate see pic) I’ll include tall and short bottles about 300 Federal and CCI 209 primers Also have an older 12 gauge press set up for 1 1/8 oz of shot it is in rougher shape, but it does work you could load on it, or swap the 12 gauge plate over to the nicer 20 gauge press 12 gauge press will come with a 5 gallon bucket of hulls

Hey sorry I forgot I posted this. Sent PM.

This is accurate. If on one of the WMA you can only shoot one during deer season.

Lee dies ~100 pieces of new Starline brass 100+ Hornady Match 162 gr BTHP bullets $100 for everything.

I normally carry a 442 once or twice a week. I used to have a 3 inch barrel J frame, but I just didn’t see an advantage to it. For ammo, I carry run of the mill wad cutters. I’ve studied the .38 special loads. And I mean seriously studies them. Most of the bullets are designed for a .357 mag out of a 6 inch barrel. No way a .38 special is going to generate velocities for reliable expansion, regardless of barrel length. There are very few, and I’m mean few, bullets that can expand from a .38 special, the only one I can recall is the Federal HST, which is an oddly loaded and very specific bullet designed for a snub nose .38. So, why wad cutters? Well bullets do to the body what they do on paper. A wad cutter punches a nice clean hole, breaking and cutting tissue and bone, and if they hit bone, they dramatically tumble. Any sort of conical bullet hits tissue and pushes it aside, or glances off bone. If the bullet pushes tissue aside, the the tissue just returns to where it was after the bullet leaves. Think of your paper target, if you see that sort of shot hole, you can actually push the paper back in place, that is exactly what happens to tissue. Most people don’t realize how elastic the human body is. Anyway, long story short, carry wad cutters in your .38 special!

No judgment on the hunting style. I’ve been cold in the woods plenty of times. This was out of state hunting my father-in-law’s property. It was a meat hunt and a nuisance management hunt. But I did shoot my best buck with the Ruger American on the left (not from the garage window).

I had to chuckle to myself when I broke out an older brick of primers this weekend and saw the $34 price tag.

Looking to sell my almost new scope. It has seen 2 range trips and 1 hunting trip where it wasn’t carried into the field. Maybe had 50 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor shot. This was previously on a target only gun, but I took it hunting this year and realized the minimum of 6 power was much too great for hunting, and I can never see a need for 24 power. Looking to sell this one and purchase a smaller magnification scope. $500for scope. $600 and I’ll throw in the Vortex Precision cantilever mount with 20 MOA cant. The way I had it figured, with the 20 MOA base I had basically 50 MOA of upward travel and could dial the 6.5 out to 1300 yards. Great scope, works fantastic, just need something smaller.

Hey, I remember when .40 S&W was all the rage and everyone thought 9mm was underpowered (which it was, admittedly). With ammo advancement, most have abandoned .40 and moved back to 9mm, favoring reduced recoil, but maybe more so, increased capacity. So, we’ve already seen a caliber shift in favor of capacity, maybe we will see it again.

Metal framed and SAO. Modern take on 1911? At least it is different. I like it.

I dunno about this thing. It feels like an answer to a problem no one asked. Capacity is king these days, so I get the logic, but was another new cartridge necessary? Who am I to say? I thought the .327 Federal Mag was needless, but it seems to have hung on, and I even catch myself eying one every once and a while. For the .327 it makes sense, 6 rounds in a small revolver that otherwise holds 5. In that sense, 6 is a lot more than 5, but in the case of the 30 SC is 12 really a lot more than 10? Where it might get interesting for me is if they can cram 15 rounds in a standard sized Hellcat or P365. That would be a meaningful jump.
