“In my opinion, the M14 is still a better weapons. Just a lot heavier.”

Agreed. I could shoot expert with the M14 with my eyes closed. I had a hard time transitioning over to the M16, I could not hit a barn if I were inside it.

I still favor traditional long rifles. But considering what’s going on today, anything that throws lead is OK with me.

I reload, have my rifle reloading pretty well in place. Until recently did not see the need for handgun reloading. Don't shoot much of it. Well, now I am scraping around to fix that issue and am in the market for a new handgun. Am looking for a Blackhawk 357 mag 6.5" barrel. (wife has a 357)

Have not been able to find the small pistol primers. Other than that, I have what I need now. It took some hunting, I'm cheap and don't overspend using scalper sources. (I don't on an AR or an AK type weapon.)

Couple of days ago I was able to buy a couple of hundred rounds of Hornady 30 caliber 150gr Interlock bullets. I did not hesitate when I saw it. Supply did not last long. They had limit of 2 BX. They still have the 180gr (common 30-06 deer load) in stock, but don't think I need that.

I cast bullets for my 30-30 and the handguns, makes cheap loads.
