I haven't had to replenish my supplies in a few years, but was getting a little short on srp.  I thought about getting a couple k srp as well as a lb of 2400 at precision reloading since I could stop and pick up my order Monday. $100/k for primers and $52+/lb for 2400!
Back when I had to walk uphill both ways through snow to school, primers were under .01 and 2400 cost $12/lb.
I might bite the bullet on primers,  but I have more than enough unique and h universal to last a lifetime. I guess I don't need top energy levels to kill paper and soda cans.
Thankfully,  I've got plenty of surp 844 and imr4895.
I no longer need lrp, and have a few k of those, but I looked at several mail order places out of curiosity. It appears that lrp are are somewhere between hen's teeth and unicorn farts.

Survival Food Review: Caffeine Mints by Rally - Peppermint Flavor!



Bottom line: Mild mint scent and flavor with just a hint of bitterness from the caffeine. Dissolves readily when chewed. After 30 minutes we felt a little more alert and energized. 2 Thumbs up!

  Monocular?
Posted by: srjdsmith - 12-10-2023, 11:03 AM - Forum: Optics - No Replies

I’m using Dad’s old field glasses

They’re not awesome. I’d like a monocular- the new ones zoom or focus one- handed. But I’d like not to have to remove my glasses. Suggestions?

Anybody heard of them? I just got a Happy Birthday email from them and I never heard of them and certainly am not a member. I googled them and they look like a legit forum but how and why they got my email and birthdate and sent me a happy birthday is a complete mystery to me. I will be investigating and will report back if I find the answer.

  .44 mag hunting loads
Posted by: srjdsmith - 12-09-2023, 09:32 PM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (3)

My friends, my .44 mag loads (24 grains of H110 under 240 grain Hornady XTP’s) out of my son’s Henry lever… WORK! To a gross and disgusting extent. The deer died very authoritatively.

If you want to see the picture, I’ll post it.

  Texas Mall Security Guard…………
Posted by: Rampy - 12-09-2023, 12:18 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (10)

I need to stop hanging out in Facebook gun group 🤣🤣

His dad is his instructor 😱😱🤣🤣🤣

This private security guy has gone full retard & then some when a few professional gun guys and career cop/firearm instructors tried making some posts mall ninja did not approve of 

I've got a license for armed private protective services from the state of Texas, this requires I requalify every couple years on the specific firearm I'll be carrying.

In my case a Springfield Operator, as well as a Beretta 1301.

That license also requires first aid, cpr, aed training.

This is in addition to idk how many hours of range time I've racked up over the years, both personal and with trainers.

Nearly every firearm I have I can field strip and put back together in anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute (depending on the firearm)

And with my duty sidearm I can put 50 rounds in a 2inch group at 25 yards (could probably go farther but the range I was at didn't go farther out)  mind you that's standing nice and still and taking my time.

You realize that my license required a class taught by a professional instructor....right?

And when I re-qualify I have to go right back to class again with a professional instructor.

Further, I said I've spent countless hours on the range both solo and along side pros.

I don't wish to be a cop.

As far as "dead end"
You've got this image of a mall cop in your head, and you can't seem to shake it.

I've literally never worked in a mall.
I've worked in bars, I've worked concerts, I've done close protection.

Never worked a mall though.

The picture you seem so enamored with was taken at a client location that has had an ongoing problem with robberies and gang violence.

So now that I've shared my training and credentials, what are yours?

  The question was what is your profession
Posted by: tommag - 12-09-2023, 12:14 AM - Forum: Off Topic - Replies (4)

It was asked on another forum. How did i do?

Professionally, I'm part of a team that facilitates the transcontinental migration of piscatorial species. My specialty is in navigation and expedited facilitation of said migration.  

Now that I've had a suitable amount of laxatives, my occupation is truckdriver that hauls mostly cryogenically treated fish.
