Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA
I was able to find some from a different source for 25 cents shipped but it is not a brand a know (capital cartridge)
I used a small manufacturer last year for cheap ammo in a training class. It was fine for the class and practice but would not use it for competition or self defense. Three or four primers failed to fire on first strike, one or two have failed to fire on two hits, out of roughly 500.
I thought Hmm, must be because nobody wants them and they slowed production. NOPE. It seems people are flocking to the 410 for home defense.
As best I can tell, most ammo and components are made in batches. Whereas 9mm has come down in price and increased in availability, .38 Spl lagged, and less popular rounds like .32 and .25 ACP remained hard to find nd priced high the last I looked (early summer). Even 30-06 and 8mm Mauser rifle was still quite expensive.
By same token most folks do not live on a rifle range so that’s fair. The worst ones are the guy that walks in and says I just mounted this scope can you dial it in?
No state game land ranges? Even NJ has state game commission ranges!
It's interesting being at the range as general rifle deer season approaches. Most plan on 3 to 6 shots from the bench. That's it. Helped a couple guys just on thinking it through - getting them back to 25 or 50 yards so they can begin to see what's going on. Hardly any practice off-hand or any position more like they would use in the field.
Many customers are quasi embarrassed when handing over a rifle to get dialed in.
I very much respect your patience and ability to make them feel comfortable.
I like the 'deterrent'/fear factor of the pump racking, also...can't help it!
LOL. But, Seriously, I'm sure you know that's not a good move in confrontation tacticly, legally or morally.
