For my part, at the buisness where I am supervisor, I am having staff members lower the flag today to commemorat Pearl Harbor day. It goes back up at midnight tonight. I have nothing against Mandela personaly, but am not going to cheapen our national heros by overlapping the flag being at half...
Joe Bell of bell precision does it, he is near St Paul. He did a CZ82 for me in two tone and it turned out great. Last
I knew he charged $200. Sorry I dont have a phone number, he is on the web.
The last time I was there primers were $40 per k, 9mm was $200 per 250 rds, think it was white box but not sure.
So, not great pricing on the primers, but I've seen worse, can't
speak to the 9mm since I dont shoot it.
Before buying a particular book, try looking at loaddata.com. It costs $20 a year, and has data from different powder and bullet manufacturers. Its not a complete resource for absolutely every caliber, but is a very comprehensive source of information
Since this is an inherited piece you may not want to do this, but I had a rolling block in a very similar caliber that I had a gunsmith rebarrel into a 45-90, very slight extractor work was done and that was it. I used it to take a buffalo in Nebraska year before last, next on the list is a boar.
You won't regret it, particularly for rifle loads. Had mine for nearly two years now, its been trouble free and every time I use it I am happy with how it performs.:yesway:
Unless the person is a close friend, I too ask for a signed bill of sale. In today's litigious society to me it's a smart thing to do. If that gun is ever used in a crime and you were the last registered user life could get uncomfortable for you very quickly.
Was mainly interested in primers, hate to pay the hazmat charge. But do need a couple die sets, and am fine with Lee if they are decently priced. Thanks for the additional info.
Did anyone that went today see much along the lines of primers, brass or bullets? Last time I went there was very little, didn't know if things had improved.
