A case of 9 (3K rounds) was running about $285, and no, I did <i>not</i> misplace the decimal point, and yes, that <i>was</i> a long time ago, and yeah, it was a pretty long walk back to the 'ol race transporter too. Still pretty funny though. :-)<br /><br /><b>BSR</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-74092405323100229552014-03-17T15:26:11.360-04:002014-03-17T15:26:11.360-04:00BSR:

It was just a suggestion for those spur of the moment odds and ends purchases, especially considering how far one usually has to travel to reach your transport, at the typical fun show.<br />Or flea markets. Screwed up my back big time, carrying a heavy object on my shoulder, back to my truck.<br />And, never bother using pneumatic tires with cases of ammo! Well, maybe one at a time, which sort of defeats the purpose, somewhat.<br />Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-9816326494616164082014-03-17T11:12:35.004-04:002014-03-17T11:12:35.004-04:00Man, Maxpedition sure gets a lotta gun-blogger mon...Man, Maxpedition sure gets a lotta gun-blogger money...New Jovian Thunderbolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452246769246304612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-77798173777214526782014-03-17T07:53:35.863-04:002014-03-17T07:53:35.863-04:00@BSR: why wait to verify a good ammo deal before y...@BSR: why wait to verify a good ammo deal before you bring it into the show?<br /><br />Do it Chantilly, VA style and just truck it <i>everywhere you go</i> in the crowded gun show. The upside is you get to clip the ankles of everyone in front of you, and your personal space just extended by that much more. Nothing says, "Elite Operator" like driving an empty handtruck through the gun show.<br /><br />OK, I am still annoyed at the last show I went to. Annoyed because I borrowed the handcart from a vendor (who was happy to lend it out), instead of bringing my own to lay waste to the crowd before me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-26669300069265374812014-03-17T07:49:26.937-04:002014-03-17T07:49:26.937-04:00Back to harping on the winter: another warm weeken...Back to harping on the winter: another warm weekend in t-shirts to be followed by 6" of snow overnight Sunday and closed schools on Monday. <br /><br />Enough already.<br /><br />We were out shooting in t-shirts Saturday and feeling outright warm while doing it.

It was actually pretty funny, but I guess you had to be there to appreciate it. Best to go with a wheel that's a tad sturdier for any kind of load, which lets out the rolling backpacks and flight bags.<br /><br /><b>BSR</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-58918122474590700072014-03-17T00:38:11.361-04:002014-03-17T00:38:11.361-04:00Chas,

When you're done fun-showin, leave the lead with the dealer, go git the handtruck, and haul it back to the Subie in style. It's all kinds of slick the way it saves the back, shoulders, and feet, and everybody else at the show will hate you/think you're a genius. Yeah, been there, done that.<br /><br /><b>BSR</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-65582955600389680812014-03-16T13:07:40.155-04:002014-03-16T13:07:40.155-04:00I WISH I were emaciated.
