    Nobody.

    Fortunately I have a bit less than half a keg of Solo 1000 and an extra full keg. I should be good for the next 20k rounds of 9mm.

    What counts as the metro area? I called Elk Bomb last and they have not much and what they did they "just sold".

    you're a year late on buying components, or 2 slow in the ammunition trading post forum. How much and what are you looking for?

    Like I said, I'm good. I think NFATrustGuy needs something.

    Though I could always use more 2520 or 8208.

    Yeah. I should be OK for the 1000 77gr SMKs I have, though. Need that for Steel Quest.

    Reloaded 300 rounds of 9mm. Processed/tumbled another 1500 pieces. Found out the hard way that you do NOT want to wet tumble (in stainless media) brass that is covered in Dillon case lube! What a gooey mess.

    For anyone who's wondering what a newbie could expect in terms of production rate... I've now done a total of about 1700 rounds of handgun ammo. For grins I started the stopwatch on the latest 300. I completed them in right at 22 minutes. I felt like I was moving at a snails pace... definitely not attempting some sort of max speed run. About the only thing I did that might be considered a speed enhancement was to pre-load 3 tubes of primers so I could just drop them in (300 total primers). If you do the math, it shows that I'm doing right at 800 rounds an hour.

    i think I could easily double that rate with a bullet feeder. My left hand (the bullet placement hand) is a little jacked up as a result of some nerve damage and neck/spine surgery from several years ago. I don't have good feeling in my thumb and pointer finger and my hand tends to cramp easily. I think this situation probably slows me by at least 2-300 rounds per hour.

    FWIW
    No longer accepting new Trust clients. Pretty much out of the law business completely.
