147s back in stock just now...hoping they lift the 1 case/week limit soon:

-
MG didn't jack up their price prior to the cost of inputs rising like some of the opportunists out there (probably why they sell out every morning), not to mention CMJ surely costs more to produce than the other offerings out there...love my sexy Golds and the 3SD ammo they produce.
-
MG 147s went in stock again for the second day in a row...good sign.
-
I see 124gr on sale daily (check around 9:05am); however, it's been a LONG time since I have snagged some 147gr CMJs. In stock now, but not for long...for those interested:

[edit] annnnnnd, they're gone.
...but the 9:05am is good intel for those in the market for 124gr, which is about the only 9mm offering I see being listed each day.

You are correct - Wolff only for the heavy rods. Sorry, contact form on the site not working, but the email address listed does. Thanks!
Billy
Thanks for the info, sir!
Indeed...looks like .260 ID for ISMI, so will go with the regular to use up my stash. Thanks again.
-
I'll break out the calipers tonight, but am I correct in assuming that the Jager "Heavy" Guide Rod only works with Wolff springs and not ISMI?
I thought I read that the other day, but unsure of the ISMI ID off the top of my head, so thought I would ask (the .270 OD of the guide rod is cutting it close).
I did reach out to Jager...twice...but never a response. I hope they are well and still in business.

PD finally put (or at least I finally caught) some "40 Cal 180gr FMJ" in stock:

I did two separate orders back to back.
Don't be cheating the system, Sarge.

...also gave me an appreciation for PD; alerting the community when they push inventory live is a godsend, which built up a lot of goodwill in my book. Like MG, they don't oversell, take our money as a 6-month interest-free loan, and then slither away for months and months and months before they can deliver.
I like how they roll, so decided to give them an opportunity to become my 'Sunday Bullet' and putting them on paper next week.

What I'm getting from all these posts is, order what ever bullets are in stock if you need them, and they'll work fine?
I wouldn't go that far; some of those who have them in stock have them in stock for a reason...I myself hate 10gr+ outliers, poorly coated bullets, and bullets full of 'voids' from the resizer. I now see why some of these operations aren't backordered 20+ weeks.
What I get from all these posts is that when you find a great Plan A and Plan B bullet, get in the queue early and often, because 2021 could only be marginally better than 2020 for reloading components.

The USPS is really mismanaged as far as I can tell.
All their energy is spent setting up secret teams to spy on conservatives who say mean things on Twitter; they can't be bothered with postal-related matters nowadays, sir.
They aren't your daddy's USPS any longer. (Then again, if you are in LA, perhaps they are....but glad you received your MGs)
-
...just received a shipping notice from BlueBullets; 180gr/200gr (.400) en route from May 8th order, much quicker than anticipated.

Cancelled a Gallant bullet order after nearly 20 weeks...

Case of 9mm 135g RN Bayou ordered 20 weeks ago not shipped yet.
You're getting really close...received my Dec 4th order a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry no one is forcing you.
It's italicized for emphasis. Sorry if you feel slighted by my quip.

"Maybe you should have looked..." at the posts before they were edited. Perhaps choosing some new pronouns will make you feel better about yourself and less of a d*ck around here. I can tell exactly where you are in life. I wish you well nonetheless.
To the guys who gave me two good leads, thanks.
Edit: Mods: You can lock this thead...off the rails as usual. I'm moving on.

Is your RHT molded to accept the ELS pattern? If so, drilling a new hole is easy.
Nope..."Bladetech/Boss/Springer/RHT" pattern to use with the Boss hanger.
I am, however, forced (thanks, USPSA) to get another holster soon to accommodate a WML, so I could select a different hole pattern at that time.
I did see RHT includes a parenthetical ("will not fit Safariland USPSA kit") for the "QLS Short Pattern" option, but not on the "QLS Long Pattern." I could ask them if that patterning will work with the USPSA kit. I really don't have a plan yet, clearly.
That CR Speed CBAX hanger @terrydoc recommended definitely checks the box, though, as would the USPSA kit (and get a nice discount off SL) if there's a RHT hole pattern that plays nice with it without drills and dremels.

So why are people recommending race holsters?
He’s looking for a hanger to attach a kydex RHT holster.
Yes, sir.
My fault...should have mentioned I shoot CO, but thought the "2 1/8" from inner belt" and the RHT tactical holster gave it away.

Safariland USPSA kit, or the CR Speed CBAX hanger
I took a serious look at the USPSA kit from Safariland (actually going on a SL ELS belt) before getting the Boss, but I think the hole pattern only worked with their QLS hole pattern or something like that...could be wrong, though, but didn't want to jump through hoops to make it work. I'll double back and take another look.
However, the CR hanger is interesting and definitely checks the box. Thank you, sir...will give that a look, too.

...have a Boss hanger that works perfectly behind the hip bone; however, I am playing around with the holster about an inch or two more forward. I still maintain the 'closest part of the grip' within 2 1/8" from inner belt, but as I move it forward, the butts sticks out more into the naturally hanging forearm and pivoting it in just a touch would be absolutely perfect.
I know, I know, just trying new things (I'm a product of the '70s, that's how we rolled).
I thought I have seen them, but might not have been a hanger, per se. Have you see any Boss-like hangers that not only adjust for height/cant, but can pivot, also? Would be mounting a RHT tactical on it....sans WML for now, as the asinine rule change was made a week after I ordered another holster...but I digress.

Which is crazy because I ordered 180’s months ago and was told it would be summer.
He jumped ahead me in the queue, too! (Full disclosure: Just ordered less than a week ago).
No hard feelings, though, as they did the same for me a case of 147gr 9mm ago...shipped in less than a week. You win some and lose some, but compared to the half a year with Bayou, I consider all BB shipments a win.

Wow! What an ass. You should report him to the postal manager.
I guess I’m fortunate to have a very nice postal worker. I always told her to knock on my door so I or my son can carry the heavy box off of her truck. So far so good. In return, I always give her a gift card during the holidays.
I have...when he hit my truck, when he knocked down the mailbox, when he threw my packages in the lawn where my dog relieves himself, etc, etc. It's become personal.

Wait for it...5 seconds in...boom, cracked mirror housing (then had the audacity to toss my crap in the crap without getting out of the vehicle—a real piece of work). Even the so-called 'Advocate General' dismissed this with 'we'll look into this' nonsense when elevated to D.C.
In other news (to correct my thread drift), I have some 180gr .400 FMJs en route from RMR. Took 4 days to get a tracking number (good)...has been, wait for it, traveling around the country for 3x that long, but they're on their way...just making their second trip from ID to Spokane, WA.

USPS, my mailman was not too happy to slep the box from his truck to my door steps, but the box and what was inside were OK, no damages.
There comes a point when they just throw in the towel and throw the cases by the road, rather than walk them down the driveway....making Santa's naughty list come Christmas-gift-card-in-the-mailbox time.

Miraculous things are happening at Bayou...just got a shipping notice that my December 7 (20 weeks ago) order shipped today, so those in the queue can gauge how much longer your wait is...and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Just got a notification from Midway USA Winchester Small Pistol Magnum Primers have been discontinued by the manufacture. I have notifies every where for all manner of primer, my excitement really faded fast when I read the email.
It's Midway doing the discontinuation on the 5K cases...received them for Federal, CCI, and Win...Larry retired and they are now charging roughly $100/K w/ hazmat, shipping, and 1K limits, so why sell 5K a pop, they figure.
Anyone know where to find primers?

Where are you located? If you are willing to pay to know about > $100 + hazmat primers 5 minutes early, if you're close enough, I'll sell you all you want at $100/K (except for small rifle and shotgun).
