Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default Loading some special 30.06 ammo.

I have a bunch of the 30 cal 162 grain black tip AP bullets I'm loading up up for my son's Savage 111 bolt 30.06 bolt action action rifle.

picked these up around 25 years back when they where dirt cheap, around 5 cents a bullet.

Winchester nickel plated cases, AA2700 powder and Remington 9 1/2 primers. I loaded a few up just to try out, no signs of excessive pressure and accuracy is good.

He calls them his ( Zombie Apocalypse ) ammo.

Nice! Black tips are harder and harder to find.

Been trying to talk my cousin out of his stash. He won't ever reload them into anything, but he doesn't want to let them go, either.

CDVS has .30 API's. They are on the pricey side.

Wow! I should sell the loaded ammo AP I have! $3.00 per round would be a bargain!

Black tip on 30 cal bullets is indicative of armor piercing bulets. Some places they are illegal.

I saw some for sale the other day - bullets only - and they were asking $10/ea for them. I'll just work on shot placement.
