My wife has 2 Glocks, a 9mm and a 45. When she retired from law enforcement they sold her the 45 she carried for $1. We've never shot them but we keep em loaded hid in the house. Whats the best place online to order the Lee Press. I buy most of my guns off friends and Armslist. I really dont have a certain gunshop I'm loyal to. We have a Gander Mtn. here but they're way to high. The $99 one you were talking about OF is probably the one I'll start with. I had a Lee single in the 70's and it did everything I asked it to do well.

You need to get a Lee Precision catalog from Lee. Just look them up online and you will find a place where you can order a catalog for free.

Ive driven to Dallas to go to Cheaper than Dirt to buy ammo & stuff..
If youve got a lever or bolt action 22 rifle you REALLY otta get some O those Aguilla powderless 22 shells. I can hear the hammer fall, sounds like a dry fire, on the Henry lever action. A pellet gun is much louder. Still pretty noisy in a pistol, not as loud, but noisy. A guy could shoot in his back yard in the city with the powderless. From 20' itll stick in a white pine 2X4 pretty good.

Right about when you see something at Rocky Mountain Reloading that is really good, then the chances are pretty good that it tends to show up at Graf & Sons at about the same price.

Still, I have bought 500 lots of bullets from RMR on occasion when they had something that I wanted that was at a good price.

(lately they are selling stuff at only 20% off of new which is really too too high for pulled bullets)

Wish I could. Believe it or not lead wheel weights have been against the law in New York since 2010. If they happen to fall off and land on the side of the road they are considered hazardous waste Roll Eyes

Same roads that the state dumps millions of tons of salt on every winter. Makes perfect sense to me Roll Eyes

Oh wait ! Midnight said something about rock salt. Guess I'm all set after all. I'll just go shovel a bunch of that up. Sad

Makes me think of just buying $500 worth of ammo. I've heard of solid copper bullets. Anyone have any experience with them. Knowing the price of copper it will add a lot of moolah to the cost of a bullet.

Probably don't even need to pass a law to make that disappear. The EPA could likely just issue a new regulation. Can't be importing all that toxic lead. Sad

Here's some more bad news for shooters/reloaders.

Now we know why the government purchased billions of rounds of hollow points.

My thoughts as well. I knew lead was drying up, but never dreamed it would all be gone. Copper IS expensive. Most likely frangibles will be the go to for target shooting.
