    Permanent marking brass cases

    I mark my 8x57R cases with a groove across the head on my .318 loads. On my Makarov, I use shortened resized 9mm cases. I use an electric engraver to blurr the 'Luger' and do very light wipe or smear of white paint with a Qtip.

I considered myself recoil proof. That Doc...

    Question on shipping ammo

    I've checked with Fed Ex and USPS. Neither one ships ammo, at least from non ffls. Ammo must be labeled with the appropriate label to be shipped with UPS.
