Their value is going up daily right now. Match-grade .308's are double what they were a month ago. Find one other investment that DOUBLED in the past six weeks -

Re: Stock market/banking sector insanity
 

Look at the price for 100 rd. bricks of Remington .45 ACP 230gr. hollow points. I paid $37 in October, and they're now $89.:eek:

On the other hand, 2 weeks ago I found 2 1440 rd. cases of Polish berdan-primed mil-surp 7.62x39mm for a family member for only $126 a case, and 1 900 rd. sealed tin of brass/boxer 9x19mm +P for only $79. That's under 9 cents a round.

I only wish .30-06 and .45 ACP was so cheap. :(

(sigh) I guess I'll have to handload

The gun show is coming to my town in a week. i'll be buying some reloadable 5.56 ammo.

Re: Stock market/banking sector insanity
 

I hand load 45 ACP for about 10 cents per round component cost. Of course you need to figure in the cost of the Dillon press. Component prices have also shot through the roof.

Re: Stock market/banking sector insanity
 

I have only heard excellent comments from friends in the know about dillon presses.

Did you all see Ken Langone on CNBC tonight. He was only days away from investing as much as 100 million with Madoff but when he met M, something threw him off and he passed!

Hey Mark-

Are you the only red-headed, freckled cowboy out west?

Maybe you are related to Yosemite Sam.....

Re: Stock market/banking sector insanity
 

Anyone ever shoot those blazer rounds or blazer brass from Wal-mart? anything bad about them?

Re: Stock market/banking sector insanity
 

Where do you get components for that little? I can't get once fired brass that cheaply

Re: Stock market/banking sector insanity
 

I was not counting the cost of the brass. I have several thousand cases that I cycle through. Bullets, lead SWC are $80 a thousand, Primers $18 a thousand and powder about $18 a pound. So maybe it is closer to 11 or 12 cents a round. When I was buying cases they were 10 cents ea. I have picked up more cases on the range for free than I will ever need.

Re: Stock market/banking sector insanity
 

No freckles, and if I had red hair I'd shave my head. As such, no on either case ;)

My bad...could have sworn you were a carrot top.

Mortgage Lending Insanity Update-
Low rates on mortgage loans with disappearing equity equals no borrowers on refi's and only a few people buying when the media reports another 12 months of value declines. Rates still in the 4.875% range. Delinquent mortgages at 7%.

Now.........back to the gun and ammo discussion :eek: :eek: :D :D
