I love a good double entendre.

As someone that built a .410 SBS early this year and bought a bunch of ammo for it last year, .410 has never been cheap.  I actually noticed how ridiculous tungsten .410 is last week when looking at the either Scheels or Midway monthly mailer. It’s more expensive per shot than 50bmg and most of the more expensive hunting cartridges. |

One of these always stops bolt bounce, even if severely over gassed. https://tromix.com/product/ar-15-h3-buffer-carbine/ |

Yup. |
We're getting close, real close. And now for some more bad news... Ready?
