@Paladin308 i dont get it, you buy a bunch of boxes of 9x19 to store them in little containers to load them into magazines for a pistol
@R9b1t I don't buy 9mm, I load it. The containers help me keep it organized, so I can keep track of what they're loaded with, when they were loaded, etc.
but why box to magazine
I don't understand the question
I've got thousands of rounds of 9mm alone, and only a few magazines, I need a way to store it, keep it organized, keep track of how much I have, and transport it for range trips, having 100 round boxes makes all of that easy
i guess i just dont understand why people go to the trouble of getting crayon boxes to store their bullets
i mean for normal people but if it's your job to keep inventory i can understand that
It's not so much my job as it is good practice
I also keep a log book for my reloading, tracking how much I reloaded in a particular session, what recipe I used, etc.
learning to quickdraw?
Tracking that sort of stuff helps me identify any problems
I'm learning to shoot competitively
I easily shoot 3-500 rounds of 9mm alone in a range trip
5-10,000 rounds a year
so you buy boxes of bullets in bulk (that are counted), then divide them up into plastic containers that seem to store roughly 50 per line, take them out and load up magazines, fire them off, and put more in?
No, I load my own
I couldn't afford to shoot as much as I do if I didn't
are there plastic containers in the bullet boxes?
They're just boxes, sized specifically for the calibre, with dividers molded in to keep everything organized
I buy components in bulk, and use them to manufacture ammunition
oh okay i get it
I buy bang buttons, magical fire dust, and freedom seeds, while reusing metal holdy things, I have a machine that puts them all together
what happens if you put culturally appropriated magical voodoo fire dust in instead?
Is this an economic choice, or do you do it because it offers the ability to tailor the bullets and powder to your liking?
@R9b1t things explode
what if i load my voodoo dust into stick metal pipe with reusable bang rubberbands?
and drop metal rock in it
@Bookworm both, I save a fair bit of money, especially considering the amount I shoot, and I can tailor ammo exactly how I want it
@R9b1t things explode, but with more ooga booga
i want to follow the founding father's intentions and have a musket
and a long jabby stick at the end
so i can ooga booga sword fight
People mock the bayonet.
But one day, you're going to be in a firefight, run out of ammo, and before you can reload a man is charging you with a knife, and you'll think "boy, I really wish I had a knife on the end of my gun".
Then you'll understand.
I just got a 590A1, I need a bayonet for it
For... Reasons...
if you can see the whites of their eyes, fire. if you can see their eye color use your bayonet
