[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 797929, member: 35183"] I grew up in a city of over a million where 60%+ were unemployed and where there was no such thing as welfare except of the "affirmative" kind (relieving someone else of their belongings...). There were plenty of hungry and starving people and so I'm not inclined to waste either. There used to routinely be over 20 murders a night. At one time there were over 3000 cops killed per year in the country and the list of murdered farm families stood at well over 4000. I'm just a bit new to the game based on how long it takes to get a green card, so my intro back into the world of firearm ownership was a couple of years after mr "O"'s election the first time. I consider myself fortunate that the timing worked out the way it did, since I was able to buy some nice surplus stuff when it was still available (DAG 308 ammo, Yugo 7.62x39, a couple of Yugo SKS rifles, the "good" Yugo 8x57 ammo etc etc). That stuff appears to be history for the moment. I have never got a good stock of reloading components organized although I am closer to my goal than ever before. If I can get some 308 ammo loaded up, then I have a small batch of new 8x57 to do using Hornady match bullets, a second batch of 243 ammo to load up for fireforming in the Ackley chamber. For the moment the 243AI and 308 is going to cover what I should call medium to long range requirements until I get going again on the 6.5x284. Right now I have no need for reloading 223 and I just got rid of most of my 222 Rem stuff. I have 500 cases boxer primed for 7.62x39, but have not developed a direction for reloading yet. I have wanted a bolt gun in this caliber but they seem harder to find recently. Some of the reviews have also not been very favorable (CZ 527 2.5" groups out of a $700+ rifle). I suppose it is like the first time you buy yourself an SLR camera. You look at it and think, wow, that was quite expensive !.. But later, after spending money on film, developing, making prints etc etc, you realize that the materials is where the real money is, just like ammo. [/QUOTE]
