So far I haven't fired any of the $5.39 a pop 12 gauge dumbbell slugs, and I haven't bought any of the $6.19 or
$7.99 apiece slugs. But you can bet I'll be ordering some .45 ACP ammo when he starts making it by the end of the year, and trying it out
next summer. The dumbbell slugs cut through sheet metal (read: car bodies) like cookie cutters, without leaving the "volcano" shape of stretched out metal typical of bullets penetrating sheet metal. More like the holes have been drilled out, than the metal stretched beyond its breaking point before it punches through.
Ballistic Machinist - Clinton, MI is 80 miles from Flint. Detroit Ammo Co., South Lyon, MI is 46 miles from Flint. Clinton, Michigan is 36 miles from South Lyon, Michigan. I think Ballistic Machinist was lucky to find a place that close to sell their ammo. Instead of shipping it by freight to DAC, they could load their car or truck and drop it off. Cor-Bon Ammo who started out in the Detroit area was in Redford TWP IIRC, 26 miles from Detroit Ammo Co. in South Lyon. There are A LOT of firearms related businesses in a small area there: Nite Fision - THE WORLD´S #1 SOURCE FOR Tritium Night Sights, and their sister company, Cammenga, the U.S. Military’s official Tritium Lensatic Compass manufacturer, proven on battlefields all over the world; Brass Aluminum Forging Enterprises, the AR upper receivers and carry handles with a SQUARE forge mark; Mag-na-port International, Inc. and the Handguns Hunters' Museum and Hall of Fame; Acc-U-Rail, which I'm about ready to have done since I took my OLD Para-Ordnance frame out of the Cylinder & Slide Dunk-Kit bucket a couple of days ago; and many others. Not to mention Williams Gun Sights which is just 10 1/2 miles from my house (and I keep forgetting to post what I found there).
