Some of the black powder cap-n-ball percussion guys make their own percussion caps using cap rolls and punching out aluminum thimbles from coke cans.

Geez, 10 years ago you could get 100 cap count tin for around $6. Now double. And pistol primers were $33 for 1,000. Now 3x that amount.

Yeah sonny, I sound like a old geezer now.

When I started reloading brass I was buying primers for $20-25/1000

I got my first shotshell reloader in middle school and I remember buying shotshell primers for under $10 /1000

I bought these new in the beginning of my reloading career. rays sport shop in NJ. Probably 30+ years ago.
There are still 600 in there and I bet they are just fine.

IMO, the guy had a knife and could have stabbed her at any second, so the officer not only saved the woman, but he took out a bad guy. End of Story.
100% Yes. F that guy!

Question for all-- have you shot any +P ammo in your 9MM??

Yes, have shot +P JHP through my Glock 19 and Glock 34 as carry ammo. That is a fairly good price, 30 cents a round. But why use +P FMJ? Would not carry it due to overpenetration. I guess if you wanted to practice with the +P since you carry +P JHP but did not want to spend the high cost of that round for practice?
