:shaka:  This weekend looks to be windy.  Also, I heard that the right side of the rifle range was all muddy and mud covered all the target post holes.
Honolulu Marathon this Sunday. 

This weekend doesn't look good.  Ammo should be in by next weekend, I hope.  :worship:

I’m going to take the kids to the silhouette side to plink.  Yup, checked Windy and it’s looks like it’s blowing all the way through next week.  Aside from shooting it’s going to make onaga fishing difficult.

Got a message from Jennifer.  ETA  Honolulu is 12/14-12/17.  Probably take a couple of days for them to start sending out deliveries.
As a side note, I was checking with Jen on timing of future shipments.  Seeing some ammo sales as well as some calibers coming back into stock.  Anyways, due to increasing costs (shipping, parcel, everything), continuing of shipping services is being evaluated. 

Speaking for myself, I am ok with spending more.  I am guessing at least a few here are as well in order to keep this valuable pipeline operating. 

Just a heads up.

100%. A thread on here to share tips on which sites have what available and find partners to split cases should generate a big order.

I appreciate what Jen and her company is doing for us here in Hawaii.  I want to support them and am willing to order from them because I trust them in their commitment to try to keep costs down and offering the best price on ammunition.

Times are hard on all businesses and I want to support them and hopefully they can  continue to prosper and succeed.

i think you folks should let her know that you are willing to pay the increased cost to retain access to ammo that is not readily available here...

I’m hoping they can continue their program.  I’d support them and would be willing to pay more.  I’ll make sure I let them know how much we appreciate their business and support of the 2a community.

Been shopping for more .22 ammo.  Have been wanting to try SK, but hard to find.  I heard good things about RWS, but $$$.

I ordered more Eley Match and some Eley Target to try.  So slowly building a decent stash.  Will see what round count is "normal" for range days.

Want to trade some of your Eley match for SK match?

That ETA will likely miss my end of year leave window for hitting the range, but will be a good start to 2022 to have that ammo on hand.   :geekdanc:

Yes.
Awesome.  Will let you know when my Eley Match comes in.  It's on the boat that esk mentioned above.

You will see your accuracy improve as the barrel gets fouled. You need to lay down the lube of whatever ammo you are using. When switching ammo, it'll take a bit before it settles down because of the different lube. Cleaning is counterproductive IMO. Your rifle, you do you though just don't say I didn't tell you.

Clean the chamber often only. Remove the powder fouling from the bore. Done

Got word from Jen that the ammo arrived on-island.  They are supposed to get the pallet tomorrow and then have it out to Hawaii folks end of the week.
