Why not? Steel case is great training ammo, reliable, and doesn't hurt your firearm.

 

Just never been a fan of steel ammo, always preferred brass just a personal preference of mine

 

It's not the steel case that's really an issue. It's the bullet with the bi-metal (steel and copper) jacket that's the problem over time. Lot's of time, but still time.

A case of Wolf Gold can be had for around $300 shipped. I use a lot of it. Freedom Munitions reloads are around the same price.

 

Dropping in so I can start to shoot the shit in here with you all (pun intended). I've got 2.

1) Spike's Lower, Rock River Stage 2 LPK, Armalite Upper with a 20" heavy barrel and Midwest Industries full length quad rail and a 4-12x40 Nikon P223 that I use for coyote hunting and long range shooting.
2) Sig P556 Swat, SBR'ed, that I use for "plinking" and general bad-assery.

 

Interesting, gotta be a tolerance issue on the BCG, I'd agree with blaming that on the upper. The shitty assembly, that's another issue.

 

Anyone have a good link of where to buy a1 hand guards?

 

Saw them. But they are out of triangle hand guards. I found another on gunnysurplus. Ordered. Well see if they deliver. I've never bought from them before.

 

$100 worth of .458 socom brass. Almost too pretty to shoot. Not

 

What do you figure it costs you per round to reload?

 

0.26 bullet
0.11 powder
0.04 primer

I pick up all my brass. Should get 10ish reloads out of them

 

Wow. That's way better than I thought it would be. I'll have to start looking for uppers

 

Yes it is. Considering factory 458 is 2.50 minimum. Looks at Tromix. Don't get a radical like I did

 

How much did you pay for brass?

 

$83 for 100 cases plus whatever shipping was

 

thanks for the input I'll keep that in mind next time. Just got 500 rounds of American Eagle FMJ for $175 shipped from Palmetto

 

PSA wouldn't ship to my address since I have an address in Unincorporated LA County

 

I noticed that what's the deal with them not shipping to LA.

 

Becuase of a recently passed city of LA ordinance that requires a photo copy of drivers license or ID card a right thumbprint, also must include type, brand and quantity of transaction on the form for submission... City of LA also bans the sales of all ammunition 7 days before the 4th of July
