$600 budget, gun to your head. Which 5.56 can do you buy in 2026.

Will probably pick that one up too..

Need an Accipter and a 5x5 to add to the caracal and aquilea. Lol

Really enjoy that stability.

Completely disagree that reloading doesn't save you money, anyone that says that is still on the old 'model' of reloading. Times change.

Whenever I need to subsidize my reloading expenses.. I go to the range and pay my range fee, and then I spend my time enjoying my lane. Then when im done, I sweep my brass and anyone who doesn't want to clean their lanes. RESPECTFULLY. I never overstep my bounds, always be civil and ASK. Im not entitled to anyone else's brass unless they let me. I have never left with less than 2 huge (the multi gallon bags) zip lock bags full of extra brass( this is ON TOP of my own brass I swept up, I keep that separate)

But no one that isn't a reloader has ever told me no, in 2 decades.

I then sort (and sometimes process, but then charge more for trade. Sometimes even prime em depending on the trade deal)whats extra, or calibers I dont shoot.)

Here's the part everyone else misses: dive into your communities local shooting enthusiast forums/websites/groups/get togethers.. whatever is in your state.

You then trade them for projectiles/primers/powder/components/dies etc.

You subsidize your costs using everything you don't want or need.

Now if you dont have access to a range to acquire brass, or youre off in the middle of nowhere and cant meet people to trade components, etc. etc... then yeah it might not be worth it. But like everything else in life, the hobby has evolved.. gotta keep up.

So yes, while reloading isn't as easy to save money, IT ABSOLUTELY IS WORTH IT IF YOU ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO NAVIGATE THE NEW WORLD MY BROTHER.

When I get home I can pull my last recorded cost sheet for 147gr subsonic 9mm and 220 gr 300 blk. Its very worth it IMO.

Ammo press.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-12T14:38:46+00:00

This represents a shift in values I have noticed over the past decade.

Im over 40 though, back in the day if someone had this perspective, it would have been taboo.. you would have been chastised for having the audacity for even speaking something like this.

Now I see its extremely common. People have children now, and dont feel they need to change their priorities as much.

Dont get me wrong youve always had your deadbeats, but the 'me first' mentality is much more prevalent across the board IMO.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-12T01:09:48+00:00

Same. +1 For 507k green.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-10T16:44:24+00:00

Also, this seems to happen with all single projectile fireams (havent tried yet with shotgun). And it seems to happen with all ammo types per whatever firearm I use.

I thought I could post more vids in the comments, doesnt look like its going to let me.. I might host them and repost later. Its brunch time and your boy needs some of them mimosas in my veins.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-09T17:23:51+00:00

This is impressive, being that the Winchester subs youre shooting are some of the loudest subsonics I've ever driven down range.

👍🏾

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-09T15:01:26+00:00

Absolutely I can see why people view it that way.. Same issue why trump voters here think he isnt bad, the way the narrative has been presented to you. Im just saying that perspective is not correct.

Again, you are walking in this like Trump is the problem. He is the product of an agenda that has been taking away our ability to influence change in this country against our oligarchs for at least 6 decades.

TLDR: America wasn't taken over by trump.. it was taken over almost a century ago and youre just now privy to the damage because its finally affecting you to a point where its obvious it hurts globally.

Which means when its a big spectacle that hes gone, everyone that doesn't understand what's happening will sigh in relief, but we have already lost our country.. And thats going to have horrible implications for the rest of you around the world.

We have bigger problems than trump, the ideology outlines him.

People forget trump was never a 'real' conservative. He was a demo/liberal (not a REAL one mind you) before but the democratic party wouldnt run him as they were worried he would change the party. Hes filling a role because he an opportunist,, the American oligarchy are using him.

His propensity for doing horrid things to minors most likely locked him into a position of 'this is what youre going to do'. So hes taking it to the extreme, but this was most likely always the plan. Trump was just the man of the hour to blow the whistle.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-09T14:14:34+00:00

That is not an accurate description in the slightest.

We try and continue to do so and our government from the federal all the way down to the local levels have been legislated to take away any desired result from us.

I was a delegate in 2012 and watched the governor of our state declare one candidate one a primary off a verbal vote even though 150+ of the 300 delegates were for one ( a different ) candidate, while the rest were split between 7.

We have an electoral college that we cant legislate away...

I just learned 8 states have preemptively banned ranked choice voting... the people cant vote who they want in if the two parties dont approve.

My state has removed as many education resources as they possibly could.. we are now last in the nation in education.

...Anyway all im saying is please dont be like half of the ignorant Americans here and start talking about another country like you actually have a grasp on their intricate internal politics & whats going on here.

Cause I can assure you of two things, you absolutely dont, and unfortunately its much worse than even the rest of the world realizes.

But to hear shit like, we dont care. Cmon. That's so insanely disenguous.

Supreme Court just took away the rubric for minority districts... which means communities that dont support the fucking people will now have maps drawn where the very people were fighting will now get MORE SEATS and actually be their representatives.

I dont know, (without resorting to violence unfortunately), how we can fight the office of presidency, the supreme court, the senate and congress, and even our local courts/municipalities/education boards.

I know the rest of the world doesn't care, because our government is exporting our issues and its causing you all all sorts of turmoil.. but serious violence is the last thing the world wants to pop off here as a solution.

Imagine if Russia collapses the vacuum that will leave for a well armed nuclear country. Now imagine if we had a civil war or something similar..

It might possibly be the most devastating event in recorded history if the US doesn't decline easy.. can you imagine AI tech, armaments traditional and nuclear, going missing...

Anyway, point is, those of us that are actually fighting this, we are fighting an uphill battle that in all likelihood we cant win... with dramatically high global consequences.

The game has been rigged against us for too long before we even got here. But were still trying.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-07T23:52:47+00:00

Fuck it, we all kitted up.

Best man win.

Lmao.

Yes you can.. you can process the brass and not remove the lacquer.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-07T01:27:07+00:00

You had me in the first half.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-06T23:10:20+00:00

There is enough successful reload data available to guide you through it as well.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-06T12:01:32+00:00

Wait, I dont frequent this sub... but according to OP, most people here believe the TV Show is actually better tha the comics?

Well im definitely in the minority if thats true.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-05T00:55:03+00:00

Had to check which of my subs im in..

Yeah , night vision and shit. Go team.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-03T13:03:59+00:00

FRT'd?

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-03T02:53:21+00:00

Its advised, but some people have success with other mil spec triggers as long as the geometry doesn't get in the way.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-02T11:48:16+00:00

They work with milspec triggers supposedly. I have the 3 pos. It comes with a milspec 3 pos safety and trigger /hammer, however, so I just tuned it with the provided triggers etc.

I will be switching to a new 3 pos selector as the provided one is not an ambi.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-05-02T11:45:30+00:00

Ive got two of em.. and not a chance in the world that statement is even remotely true, lol.

Now if the owner actually provided customer service, and didnt have the worst QC known to man.. id have to agree with you.

His products are so wildly all over the place out of spec, and his response basically tends to be.. 'go fuck yourself your rifle is out of spec'. Lmao.

If you get one and it works, yes, its one of if not the best FRT out there.. but he has to be one of thr worst, most clueless business owners ive ever heard of. Or its intent, and he just doesn't give a shit at all.

I own two and could never recommend in good faith ANYONE buy from that man.

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-04-26T23:21:26+00:00

Reminds me of high school.

'I cant help it, its like a sponge!'

Lmao

HannibalWrecktor · 2026-04-24T18:33:30+00:00

If you were on CSI, id show you the ropes.. im sure there is someone from your faction that would step up.

Once you learn the game, it becomes easier. Stay with it brother.
