    Good stuff! Something that is often overlooked is the carrier. It is my belief that every American should own at least two. One that’s slick and easy to conceal, and another that’s setup to carry weight. Ammo, Comms, medical, water, tools, batteries etc. And, if someone can’t afford having two different carriers, shoot for a middle ground. Also, whenever possible, buy American. Crye, BCS, SKD, T.Rex Arms, etc.

    Good stuff as always Elvis - so how do you think it would *actually* hold up in a real life shooting situation? Going back to cast zinc bullets, in the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 3rd Ed. on page 28 says that Remington developed nearly pure zinc bullets for an armor piercing handgun ammunition. I wonder how that body armor would stand up to our own cast zinc bullets? It would be nice to know if bullet casters could cast an armor piercing bullet ....since bad guys will wear armor too

      It's really only illegal for felons or people in the course of committing a crime.

There are also restrictions on export.

      Component shortages and scalper inflated prices. I'm guessing he ran out or ran down to where he didn't want to use that volume anymore. All of us reloaders who have been doing this for decades have cut way back both in reloading and shooting. I'm not paying these prices they want for stuff right now in 2022. $70+ per 1k of primers? Are you out of your minds! They were $30 per 1k when Trump was President! A pound of powder was $16 -$24 on average. Now it is $35 -$40+ per pound. Scrap lead used for casting is over $2 per pound right now in September 2022. It was .39 cents per pound a few years ago. I shot 200 - 600 rounds a week every single week for decades. I only shoot 100 - 150 now and often skip a week or two in between. You have to cut back or else you will be way overpaying for supplies at these prices during this epic failure and excuse of a Administration in history.

    Dayton armor is the best, my l4 is only 2.8lbs but this is the best deal I have seen, good on you. Edit: lied the rf2 plate is 3.3lbs it feels lighter. This MIRA armor will protect you better from AP than the rf2 will. Oh yes RF2 will stop 50 cal AP haha. But smaller faster AP can go through it. Specialty rounds over 3500fps basically nothing except sabot rounds.
