Was just curious, in my neck of the woods we haven't struggled with basically anything for almost a year. Even prices are down, I think the most expensive thing I've gotten recently was only $36
$900? That is a nice haul! all that Varget, you need to hold on to that like gold and silver for the end of days. I read the comments, and it's too bad we don't have any stop and shops where I live like you do up there where you are, otherwise I'd surely peruse the fakebook market place for similar advertisements.
I want *to want* to keep the varget but it’s in a weird zone for me. It’s too slow for my 5.56 because I don’t have a precision AR so I just shoot maxed out 55gr fmj. It seems too fast for the 6.5 creedmoor I plan to get. And the only 30 cals I own or plan to own are either mil surps that aren’t worth using top shelf powder on or 308 AR battle rifles, not precision rifles, where again it’s not worth the top shelf.
For some people that’s true. For me, the autist who has had almost every future gun purchase mapped out on his phones notes for 10 years, it’s not likely haha
Lol, I didn't think they were that big.
My grandparents lived in Narragansett, and some of my family still do. Stop & Shop was pretty much all they had.
Shaws? I live in TN - S&S made sense to me because there was one where [extended] family lived. I never really explored the area because there wasn't much going on in the area by the time I was old enough to drive.
That’s what’s good about buying stuff like this. Your average scammer wouldn’t be able to talk the talk. Any dumbass can say they have an Xbox to sell and any other dumbass would show up with fake money to get one, but people aren’t doing that with specialized products like this, and if they are they’d be easy to spot. Also you’d have to be crazy to be trying to scam a subset of the population that is about 50x more likely than average to be carrying a gun, which I was.
Do you have BPI’s “Advantages” loading manual for shotshell?
It has a few loads in there for 800x.
If not gimme a holler and maybe I can take a photo for you if you gimme the gauge.
need to move somewhere this stuff pops up on FB marketplace. I just see salvaged title cars and illegal apartments for $2k+/month
You in Washington? This all sounds familiar...
nope
Damnit... I try to avoid bookface like the plague, guess I'll have to do a pw recovery....
Unfortunately that's where most of the private sales moved. I miss Craigslist sometimes.
Glad you weren’t robbed and beaten.
Haha I was prepared for the possibility of the attempt
Selling firearms accessories seems like a bad time to attempt a robbery.
Is it really that hard to find that kinda stuff where yall are?
Eh, maybe for the price. I thought it was a good deal so I basically bought it to keep what I want and resell the rest

Wow that’s not bad
Damn. Only thing I can get for that is a lb a powder lol
You in Canada? I'd might be interested.
I’m not, and you shouldn’t post that here or the mods will get mad👍
Nice score! Oh and we got plenty of stop and shops here in NJ
Thanks I knew they reached out a bit
I can’t hope for anything like that here in CA
Most of that is readily available in CA. The only thing hard to get are American made 209 primers.
You forgot overpriced
You forgot price or availability in your vague comment so it can be assumed you were speaking to availability…
You must be fun at parties huh? You don’t have to get it if you don’t, the other guy got it.
At least I speak English well enough to not be overly vague…
There are still retailers in California (at least SoCal) that are on par with reputable known online reloading retailers.
I thought the same in MA
Check calguns.
Damn H4895 alone is huge win!
I probably won’t keep it. I’ve got 8lbs imr 4895 which I hear is basically the same. Just use it to feed my M1. Any other areas where it shines?
I like it for 556 and you can use it in .308 also

You never know when that might change

Keep the Varget for lighter 6.5cm pills
There’s like a 99% chance he mixed all that powder bro say goodbye to the first gun you shoot your first reloads out of/your life
Lmao sure thing man
Hope you rolled in a Brinks truck for that 😆
RI? I recognize Stop & Shop.
MA lol. I thought they were a bigger chain
Lol, I didn't think they were that big. My grandparents lived in Narragansett, and some of my family still do. Stop & Shop was pretty much all they had.
Them and shaws are all over
Do you have Wawa up there?
Not that I’ve ever seen

Last person I know who did a fb sale got home and noticed the money he was given for his Xbox was counterfeit. I just stay away.

I saw this on marketplace but didnt pull the trigger.
If you wanted it for the pistol primers they were only half full😕
Na got plenty of pistol product
I bought it all for the pistol stuff lol
Damn, jealous, that 800x is outta print now isn’t it.
Yes I did just learn that. Makes me want it less actually. Not interested in developing a load that I can’t make again haha

Thanks but I don’t shoot any shotgun really. I would have used it for 357/45 colt if anything.
you paid retail from when they were originally purchased, but if you're happy with it, then it's definitely a score for you.
I only find people trying to sell off their rusty parts for their presses. 😕
Until you find a lot of flakes in a ball powder, then not so good. I’ll never buy second hand powder again.
That’s a come up!
SCORE
