Lol. More like saving properly and just being worried about the future but yeah.

Found out when I got the ammo that Winchester gets its 7.62x39mm from Serbia, that's where it says it's made on the box along with "PPU" on the inside. Either good or bad in terms of non magnetic, I've gotten non magnetic copper jackets from Serbia for my SKS, and the jacket looks copper at least, so it should be gtg.

Also I hate this box:

It's filled my ammo can where if it was the typical square boxes I'd still have room. Sigh. Guess I just get another one lol. The SKS hungers for food.

That's my joke about people firing brass cased ammo through their AKs. Remember when steel cased ammo used to actually cost less than brass so most everyone used steel?

And I'd also recommend taking your ammo out of the box if you have a larger storage container for it now. You'll see that you have far more storage space that way than you may realize.

Maybe in the future I'll get a bucket to put loose rounds in. Until then though I got too many brands, including Russian steel case ranges hate. Don't want to mix em up. Honestly easier to just get another 50 cal sized box and transfer the Winchester over sometime. Until then though I think im pretty topped off on ammo for the moment. Should last a while

Just gonna share a promo code I used to make some cheap ammo and mags even cheaper.

Az Ammo Depot (it's dot com!) and the promo code is: AZDEPOT10 for 10% off.

Selection's pretty good, and the code seems to work on everything (though I still paid a teener bit of tax and shipping.)
Direct upgrade version of Buck Knives' vanguard model. Never seen it before. Big thunking on this one.

SGAmmo has "okay" pricing (~55cpr) on brass-cased 7.62x39 if you're looking to buy in bulk. Free shipping on orders over $200 helps take the edge off a bit

Today I get $81 worth of 50AE (40 rounds btw). I went with steinel 300gr JHP. They aren't on the ammo list but I love their 6.5x55 and 45-70. I hear you can't be cheap with ammo for the :deagle: and have to lube it pretty good but we'll see. I'm curious how accurate I'll be

"PPU" Is Prvi partizan, they're known for making good stuff, cheaper than WWB, so skip the middleman and buy it their boxes instead.

Neat.

Gunkiwibrosisters... I need some guidance here. I posted earlier about my new Omega 9K, and I am having problems determining if it's aligned properly. I've been to thee gun shops and gotten conflicting answers.

This is what one shop's alignmemt rod was showing, but a different shop used their rod and it was nowhere near this extreme. A gunsmith I visited didn't have a rod but he took a look down the barrel and said it was dead to nuts.

Am I being paranoid or is it probably fine?

That doesn’t inspire confidence. What brand is the barrel?
