You would have to go by boat/ferry or deal with Canada and its gun laws? Its been a while since I read up on this.
Osprey 45 are going for the lowest price I have ever seen. By around $100. But strangely there's few to no 9mm ospreys. Glad I got my SU17 when the virus shit first kicked off when the initial silencer price drop happened.
Well that was fun. If you shop around stripped AR uppers can be had for $50 again after being unobtainable unless money was no object.
It's been about a year and still no tax stamp for the 45 osprey. August was the height of the plandemic and that was one of the nfa items that took 2 to 3 months just to do the dealer2dealer portion.
Buy a primer pocket swager. If you didn't have one from the before times or paid 2x or 3x retail for one during the plandemic. Looks like midway usa has them all instock now. Since I knew I had more small primer brass than I had small primers I just shelved all the crimped 9mm shit. I continued to chamfer crimped 5.56 pockets, as my bare bones chamfering operation required me to be able to hold on to said case. Well with 9mm there ain't nothing to hold on to so it wasn't happening.
Buy rifle glass. I have been looking at higher dollar ($1,000 and up) scopes for about a year and I'm pretty sure the price hasn't gone up. Yet. Some of my ammo money is coming back german glass for my little 6.5 project.
The built in laser ranger finder is cool but don't want any built in electronics. At least until I get a thermal or night vision scope.
Buy primers when they come back down in price. I expect $50, +/-$6 to be the new normal price. You might be able to catch them on sale by the case, but would be surprised if it was close to $40 a brick. I lifed that chart from here: https://www.handloadersbench.com/fo...ers-available-at-brownells-this-morning/page2
I got the rcbs primer pocket swager it's totally worth it for $40. I unlocked all the crimped 9mm brass I shelved for the last 4 years and I'll use it for 223 brass because it's so fast and easy.
I hear the Dillon one is better. But it's bench mounted. I heard a bunch of bad things about the rcbs and and after setting it up and using it I came to the conclusion the people having trouble with and breaking the rcbs one are idiots. I set the rcbs army style, I took it out of the box, took the directions looked at the picture, didn't read anything and started using it. I think with the rcbs it helps to sort the cases by head stamp. I'm actually going to go try out the Dillon one later this month. See if it's faster or easier to use.
A couple of mods to consider for the Dillon Vertical mounting: Automatic mod EDIT: A great tutorial on the spring mod and also vertical mounting: RCBS press swage vs Dillon 600 I can tell you that it's built like a tank. Glad I bought mine several years ago before prices on reloading equipment got stupid.
