Wow! Thank you for this great reminder @jumpinjoe I've gotten a lot better, but my wife always said that when I'm excited about something, I can get a little gullible! Guess it's one of those "truth hurts" reality for me. All the advice/opinions I've received on here so far have been very...

Yeah, check out Eagle. It's a nice store, though when we went last month, it felt like a can of packed sardines! It was mighty crowded. If you're ever looking to purchase, ask for Saad. Real nice guy, tell him Z referred you. I've been the to Hodgkins SPB a few times, but I typically go to...

I had actually just started reading about subsonic and supersonic ammo, and frankly a little lost. Mind you...I studied music in school, so anything science was a little out the radar for me :LOL: Oh what I'd do differently if I knew what I know now back in the day. Needless to say, all this is...

Whaaaaaaaat! Look at Anni all grown up, head up and chest out n'all!! Just don't let @KillerFord1977 find out god forbid they start getting hungry again.... this time for some chicken waangs!

So Eagle Sports Range in Oak Forest always has tons of ammo with no limit. $14.99/50 for S&B 115gr. The catch-5c tax for every round since they're in C(r)ook County! Mega in Plainfield has Fiocci 115gr for the same price, but now they're limiting to 2 box max. Once out of the many times I go to...

Thanks for the welcome! Of all the forums I looked through, I'm thrilled I found thearmorylife. I have found some much information on here, and everyone's been awesome at sharing their viewpoints. Seems like it's become my go-to place for everything!!!

Don't quite know how much everything runs for these days, but something tells me I'm going to wish I could get those prices when I start getting into it :eek::rolleyes:

While I don't think I'll get to the competition level, I'm excited to get into this field. Thanks for the suggestions on the manuals; others had recommended it too, so I just ordered the Lyman and looking forward to getting into it! More and more I look into them, I find myself leaning towards...

Might I ask why just 147s? While the majority of what I've been able to get are 115s, I got my hands on a couple Winchester 147s, and hard to explain, but I loved shooting them over the 115s. I've been trying to figure why I liked them better, but can't seem to pin point, nor find any concrete...

Oh that was a one time deal.... never again. For a newbie like me, I was scratching my head while blowing fumes. The range officer had to help me a few times, and was the one who said not to use the .380s anymore. Glad it didn't get to the point of a mishap.

I hear you completely. I've been online and visiting stores a lot. Including tax & shipping, I've averaged at 34cpr, which from what I'm told, is still allot, but I guess it beats the 54c you're being quoted.

Thank you so much for this article. My wife and I purchased our first handguns just under 2 months ago, and were almost clueless about anything firearm related prior to it. It also happened to be at a time the pandemic hit, so from the time we walked in to the store and walking out when we were...

Great article. Just like there's beginner's luck, perhaps I have the beginner's thrill to shoot cuz it seems like I never want to leave the range. But I'd like to think not; I think it's more of a desire to learn and become good and proficient at using my firearm, while at the same time having...

Gawd! Why did I have to open this thread?!?!? I just went through 32 pages of ridiculousness....Yal are out of control! :eek::ROFLMAO::LOL: @Annihilator atleast you have a chic named after you (y)

Aaaahhhh.... makes sense. Doesn't look like they're too much difference in price, so I'd think the 550C would be pretty good, wouldn't you think?

Wow! That Square Deal B! Seems too good to be true, or is it really that easy? When you say load only one caliber, does it mean I would never be able to load other calibers down the line? Or from watching the demo video, does it mean the process is to be used with only one caliber at a time...

I tend to be the kind that likes to do things in stages, prepping everything before moving to the next stage. Sounds like a single stage may be the way for me. Of course I could one day turn like your friend and 'step up.'

Would love to hear more of your experiences-any clips of you going through the process? My work schedule only allows me Tuesdays and Sundays to do non-work stuff, unless I'm up till 1 am like last night on this forum, only to have to wake up in 6hrs! To be honest, since I'm so new to this, I'm...

My wife says I'm becoming an ammo hoarder because I keep buying more when I find them available online! 😂 It seems a single stage press is the advice of most for a starter like me.

Absolutely! This kind of bug i could deal with! Lol.
