We have to get a family plan, wife currently doesn't have a cell phone and its caused problems for us in the past when we couldn't get a hold of one another. Plus, 20% discount on plans through work, so theres that.
    Galaxy S4 FTW! Best smartphone I've ever used, by a long shot.

    I think the worst part of it is, this would have been the first time in a while that my neighbor and I could go shooting together. His Ol Lady keeps a short chain on him....bummer.
    Was he getting you in his club? If not, what's stopping you homie?

    That's kind of what I hear too. I LOVE android, so iphone is already pretty much out.

    The wife has used her ipod touch for the past like 3 years as a wifi texting machine, so she absolutely loves it. Only thing is, they're backordered everywhere, so she won't get it for 2-3 weeks while I'll get my new phone on monday.

    You won't regret it. Mine is very fast, the screen is just the right size (big but not too big), and the battery life is really good. I've been really using the camera too. It's not your typical cell phone camera anymore. Pictures tend to have really good quality IMO. Similar to my 6 year old Sony camera with Zeiss lens. Shitty thing is no zoom.

    Well no optical zoom. There's plenty of that digital zoom. Legs are the best zoom lens anyway.

    Hey BC, I seem to remember you finding an online source for cheap bullets. Do you have a good website? I'm trying to find some pulled M80 ball or similar. Natchez has .308 150 grain FMJBT for like $22 but I think I can find them cheaper elsewhere.

    His club got shut down earlier this year. We were going to go to the kids Moms property in Roggen, but step mom hip surgery happened on Thursday, and her sons apparently can't get her home from the hospital tomorrow. Kinda looks like it's gonna be on me, but the bottom line is, getting her home is more important than going shooting.

    I'm wondering if I should hold out too though, rumors are they might release the S5 in Jan/Feb, but we need the phones now, so I'll probably just get it. Afterall, I can get it at Sams for $118 with a new contract. The iphone price doesn't change with contract vs add a line, so I'll create the account with mine, then add the wifes iphone and wait for backorder to be filled.

    The only one I really have is xtremebullets.com. They are the same company as Freedom Munitions, but as far as rifle goes, they only have .223 55gr FMJ and some .30 carbine bullets. Let me look around though, I bookmarked a few websites with quite a few pulled bullets.

    Ahh, here ya go:
