Taking your collection to the next level

[agalland]

If you or one of your buddies think you have finally completed yout collection ,this is the perfect way to think and act out of the box.

Think how much you could rent this little beauty for on a sunny sunday afternoon with a field full running junk cars for targets...

Hate to see the cost of the liability policy..

Just paying for ammo would require a small fortune.

I was on the same page as you Dave, but as I have been watching some of the videos it seems that reloading is SOP for the big caliber stuff.

They never show the priming but they have measured bags of powder that they pour in the case , put in a little cardboard filer , then insert the solid shot ,non crimp, and away you go. I was quite shocked to be honest.

I have no idea what case life is , nor where one gets the new rounds.
I wonder if it is readily available , or if they are being machined up.
The one I watched before looked to be using something that was far from new.

I am sure it is like anything else....if you are not "in" that sport there is a lot of assumption about avail;ability of product.

To be sure ,even if it is readily available , it is not inexpensive by any stretch of the imagination....they amount of powder they were using was quite healthy, and powder aint cheap.

Would be nice to own..... for a day.

You would need a 1000 yard range to really try your skills. Would be fun to give it a spin.
