Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

He ships DHL. Normal delivery time to the US is two business days.

IMHO Lyman doesn't make a good mold at this time. NOE, Accurate, Arsenal, or MP. Also get more than a two cavity....unless you want to cast hollow points.

The few things that I have bought from Lyman showed me poor customer service.

A big Thank You for this information see PM
 
I bought some tune up stuff for my Ruger Mark III. I had some light primer strikes and some ejecting problems at my Steel Challenge match so i ordered some Volquartsen stuff. Bought some 9mm and 22lr, but normal buying. I reload 9mm but I like to keep a few thousand rounds of factory for when I get behind, which usually happens about mid summer. Funny thing is that i went to buy ammo and was surprised that lots of websites were out of stock, and I was like, "what the hell". I was totally oblivious of the panic buying going on.
 
Just bought a box each of a few different calibers of ammo I didn't currently have just in case I want to shoot and there's none available otherwise.
 
Pfft. Since everything is pretty much closed and I can't hang out in bars, pretty much the only thing I buy these days is gun related. Have internet, will shop. I'm getting packages at least every other day.
 
I ordered 2 streamlight Pro Tac HLX weapon lights.. I also snagged 200 rounds of 9mm at my LGS but i sold 100 to my cousin since he was a little low on 9mm and I really have plenty for now.
 
I'm waiting for a call from my receiving FFL to transfer a 1980 Ruger stainless Speed Six 2.75" 357. It's been an adventure with the closures, restrictions, disruptions and day to day changes due to virus but tracking has it out for delivery. Edit: FFL called, we did paper work but NICS was so busy we couldn't get through. Had to leave it there but she's a beauty.

There's no longer any reason to buy anything besides targets, and not just because many of us planned very far ahead with ammo.

The superb private club (by far the best within 200+ miles) Very nearby--a 12 minute drive-- closed two days ago, and there are no fun (outdoor) places to shoot, except now and then on land a friend uses, an hour away.

The friend doesn't quite have the 'gun bug' and is fairly busy with horses.

I've wanted a double stack 1911 for a very long time. Since Remington killed of their double stack line that left RIA as the option I could afford.

Yesterday, on a whim I did a Gunbroker search for a 9mm Remington double stack. Lo and behold there it was! With SIX magazines. It was actually less expensive than a RIA would be with the same number of mags.

So I begged, I grovelled, and I did my puppy eyes to SWMBO and I received the OK.

Pictures when it's delivered.
 
200 120 grain and 200 150 grain .284 Nosler Ballistic Tips. Couldn't pass up the deal at Third Generation Shooting Supply.
 
More random ammo. Checked rural king after leaving another LGS. They didn't have much of anything.They did have 6 or 8 50rd boxes of AE 5.7x28 sitting out. 4 boxes per customer per caliber. I bought for 4 boxes. Still dead set on getting a Ruger 57 when one comes around. I now have 450 rds total of 5.7x28

I just made out a check for a couple of custom sizing dies and a couple of top punches for my Star sizer. Just started casting for a new to me caliber.
 
Discovered last week that while I have .30-30 dies I lacked a #3 shell holder to make use of them so I went down to Ocala on Friday in the hopes that I could maybe find one. There are a couple of shops that carry powder and primers (in the non-panic times), but no-go on actual equipment. Thankfully there's one shop left that carries a lot of used and/or surplus gear so after the clerk and I rummaged around managed to come up with the right one. Bought some other odds and ends while I was there.

Stopped at the Gander Outdoors for the first time since they changed names and like everywhere else they had been picked over, but they did have two boxes of Remington .32 acp fmj. The wife's gun is a .32 and I have not been able to find brass at all so I took them.

Put in a Midway order this afternoon - a carbide cutter head for my Lyman trimmer, a couple more turret plates for my Lee, and a few plastic ammo boxes. They were out of everything else I wanted!

Be aware that not all companies number their shell holders the same.

This is true, but Lee and RCBS both use the same numbers I believe and I checked it on a .30-30 round before I left.

I'd have been *really* hacked off to drive thirty five miles home to find out it wouldn't fit!
