Right now everybody is but that's the way I've shipped a lot of brass. USPS guy and I have an agreement. I get him a cup of Joe and the item being picked up. If the customer gets a disaster we can...

I am not using my 10/22’s for any type of competition, just all around fun rifles to plink or hunt with. The BX suits me fine. YMMV

Room is storage and cleaning area as well. Cleaned my Remington 870 from the last hunting trip. Shelved some ammunition, de-capped about 50 pieces of .300 Blackout Brass prior to cleaning.

Any Ideas on forming 9mm Japanese Revolver cases? I'm looking at a Type 26 revolver and would like to shoot it at least once but the only ammunition I've seen is about $6.00 per round.
