Naughty or Nice?

[daboone]

If you were good what shooting/reloading stuff did you get for Christmas?

or

If you were bad what did you get for yourself?

Got a TRS-25 red dot for my 10/22

 

[Legionnaire]

I think I've been good (), but my wife says she isn't any good with numbers (cartridges, calibers, etc.). So I used some bonus money to buy dies, brass, and bullets in 7x57 Mauser for my Ruger No.1 RSI.

Guess I was good but not great, wife got me a Lee value turret press kit, couldn't get her to spring for the classic turret press kit, I'm not complaining, so far I love this press

 

[badkarmamib]

Got a set of Howard Leight electronic muffs that I have been Jonesing for a year. Both sons tried them, now I have their birthday presents covered . Also got a TLR-3 for my nightstand M&P. My oldest got a Hogue stock and Magpul handguard for his AR, my younger son got mags for his M&P15-22, and I passed him down my AR carbine. Both boys got a brick of .22's. Lots of good times in the coming year...

-RCBS rangemaster 2000 scale
-chrony alpha
-Hornady LNL

Wife gave me a new (2019) Hodgdon "Annual Manual." It's sort of a tradition.

 

[GaryL]

I'm on my own for reloading stuff.

Got me a lead sled and a tumbler (holiday sales are a wonderful thing). The old tumbler (~20 yr old Midway) is still going, but not sure how many hours left in it.

 

[Bat Rastard]

A MEC Marksman press!

 

[Walkalong]

Wife and I gave/received nothing, just bought some stuff for the kids/grandkids.

Gonna buy a rifle.

 

[Bat Rastard]

Gonna buy a rifle.

What are you going to get?

 

[Jesse Heywood]

On cyber Monday I bought a box of trinkets (mostly dies) from PSA. I also scored my present, a Mossberg Shockwave, for $270. Ho, ho, ho.

 

[kmw1954]

This year we bought the wife a new Knee and 10 weeks of recovery so not much left in Santa's budget. But she is rehabbing well so it was money well spent. Saddest part is we haven't been shooting since the end of July!

 

[cheygriz]

Don't need anything for myself, but I got my nephew 50 new .45-90 Starline cases, a custom one cavity mold for 535 grain Postell bullets and a dozen sticks of SPG lube.

 

[tightgroup tiger]

I bought all my stuff on Black Friday, and on clearance from Field & Stream. Got everything from 90% off to 50% off so I bought myself some goodies.
My wife doesn't understand what I use these things for, she just knows my re-loading was a pre-existing condition I had when she married me 40 years ago.
She usually puts what I buy on lock down until Christmas day, it's just a game we play.
She didn't do that this year, and I'm glad of it. It's getting old.
I bought myself a M2 vibratory tumbler, a control panal system for my LNL-AP, primers, loading dies and so on.
I was going to link the post where I bought all the stuff for 90% off and just realized I don't know how to search my own posts.
Oh well.
I wanted a Lab radar but I'm still on the fence about buying it. When I make my peace with the $550.00 it costs I will get one on order. due time, due time.

My wife got me a small shop vac to mount on my bench. It's something I am very happy to have. Maybe she didn't like the idea of lead and gun powder in the house vacuum. Now I don't have to search the house for it! She even got the fine attachments to get in the nooks aand crannies on the bench and presses.

 

[bullseye308]

I drove up to midsouth Black Friday and got me a case of 12,000 Fiocchi small pistol primers, 2000 rounds of 22 and a jug of BE-86. They had to get wrapped and hide under the tree all lonely and stuff.

Have you used these before and if so thoughts and impression? Since it looks like S&B has gone away I'm looking elsewhere.

 

[Dudedog]

I got some $ to buy myself something shooting related.
Still torn between a bullet collator for my LNL or a Vortex Red Dot,

Since I thought was good before Christmas I bought myself a Ruger PC 9mm carbine, but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet due to work.....
Missed my last couple range trips I am afraid I am getting withdrawal symptoms

I havent yet, but I have heard food things from a few that have. They do come in a nice wooden box. Told the wife I’ll have to order more as I like the box. She pointed out back at my woodshop and told me I could make all I wanted for much less. Advised her that may be true, but mine won’t come with 12,000 primers.

 

[kmw1954]

Thanks bullseye308, If I was as close to Midsouth as you I'd be road tripping quite frequently! Just the savings in Hazmat fees would make it worthwhile.

 

[markr6754]

Since my order arrived today I’m considering it an after Christmas present to me...5 bricks of S&B Small Rifle Primers and a bottle of H110 powder. Heard that H110 was really good for .300 AAC Blackout subs, so I’ll give it a try, along with the A1680 and CFE BLK that I bought previously. Since I had $10.31 in Cabela’s bucks, I had over half of the Hazmat covered. Final price of $151.10 for 5 bricks of primers and 1lb of powder...I’m happy.

 

[ATLDave]

Got myself a 9mm caliber conversion kit for my 650 and a Redding 9mm comp seating die.

In Nov. I asked Mrs. Clause for a new gun. She told me that both my gun safes were full and that I didn't need a new gun. On 10 Dec. I had a new gun safe delivered. She was not impressed. I spent the next 2 nights on the couch and never got my new gun.

I fail to see how she didn't see your logic. All she said is that you didn't have enough room for more.
