That's a lot better than just going up there for the show then coming back down. I'll definitely do it if I go up. Just to to make sure I'm off that saturday. And if that's the case, I'll be up there as soon as she opens.

If you don't mind, can you check on the prices of their cast lead bullets? Specifically: 500 count box of .45 ACP 200gr Lead SWC (Semi Wad Cutters)

I remember the only time I was there, I bought the last two boxes they had. Their prices were more reasonable than Bob's here in Norfolk. But that was about 6 months ago. With the sky rocketing prices of lead (or metals in general) I'm sure they'll be pricey.

Shit, I was in that aisle just last night. The ammo aisle is fubar'd, Green Top has a much better organization and stuff actually in stock. Might stop back in there in the next few days and will check for you. Need to pick up a cheap brick of .22LR anyways. Any particular brand you were looking for or just any that's available?

They had a couple 22-250s there.

Nice. I need to get some more brass before getting into reloading (as a newbie). Just bought 300 rounds last Sunday. Gander Mountain has Winchester 40 rounds 45gr for $30 and I think it was Remington 40 rounds 50gr for $25 (but out of stock). Got some more of the Remington 20 rounds 45gr for $15.

What calibers do you shoot? Need me to check on some prices while I'm searching for others?

Do you know what brand of rifle you want? I'd really recommend a Savage 12BVSS with the Accutrigger. They go new for $650 on GB, but I just picked up a used .223 on thefiringline.com for $530. The .223 barrel was sold for $115 and a threaded .300 Whisper barrel was ordered . In your case, you can replace the .223 barrel with a .22-250. Is the .22-250 based off the .223 case? If not, you'll probably need to change out the bolt face too.

No specific brand. Just whatever they have. Just the projectiles (bullets) though, not loaded ammo.

+1. Is that range NFA friendly?
