Listen up folks. The #1 reason the Feds are telling you to have this stuff, is because they ain't going to bring you none of this for a long, long time. Every man for himself. Sort of like you having a spare tire, jack and lug wrench in your vehicle.

Rab, it boils down to people that were not prepared, as in they didn't have the components at their house to load what they were planning on shooting in the next 6 months. I haven't purchased any primers, powder, bullets since about 2014 or so. Just picked a box of spp off the shelf dated 2-2012. If you are going to shoot with any regularity, you need to have either the factory made ammo or the components to load your own. It is that simple. We gun owners are sometimes our worst enemy. It's like this, something happens to trigger a rush of the stores, we may be sitting on thousands of loaded rounds or thousands of primers, but we go Hey go buy some more _______. It has been especially bad this time. I heard if President Trump wins it will be next spring before you start seeing stock on the shelves and next fall before the prices start to drop. If Biden wins, start stockpiling ball bearings to shoot in a slingshot!!

Yea and I was on ammoseek just looking and saw magtech 124 fr for $0.52999 per round, and they only had 3K in stock.

Yes it really is and is what I started with. My pastor is one of my shooting buddies and after burning a couple of boxes of 9mm in his carry gun, he usually ends up shooting .38's in my .357 or .40 S&W in my S&W 610. Cheap shooting is what I am all about.

And then pick another caliber, and another, and before you know it you won't have any store bought ammo!! Just an FYI on Tuesday in about 5 hours not rushing and that was including eating supper I loaded 1,075 .38 special.

Yea available and cheap are foreign words in this environment. Btw that was reman ammo that I can make for about $3.00

I have a Uniflow not sure how old is older style. I have had mine since Bill & Al were in office. But I like mine,once you get it adjusted right it will do fine for plinking up to pretty good hunting ammo. I use a trickler for my hunting ammo, mainly because I don't shoot that much of it.

I had to make a comment before someone else did. I don't know your scale setup, but I finally put my 10-10 scale at eye level as I was getting a crick in my neck leaning down a bit to look at scale pointer. That helped me a lot for doing my hunting ammo.

I happened to notice you are reloading in the baby's room?? Going to start junior early huh?? Yea I am like Greg, this is way too clean. If I go to reload, first thing is to clean off all the clutter, then get out the dies I want to use.

I have contended for a long while, everyone entering the country either eats a pork chop or a BLT. If you refuse, put back on plane or boat for return trip!!!

Ok but it still was a fake testing to make it appear worse than it is. The point being whomever did this was trying to skew the appearance that this is so bad we need to shut down the world. This is my opinion only, but I don't see how this nation and probably the world can keep from getting into a very deep economic depression. Also can we trust all the fact checkers? Like Snopes=nopes!! We are pretty much at the mercy of the media outlets. Like the old saying believe nothing you hear and only part of what you see..

Yea but if you get the Chinese 2019 flu, it makes headline news and people make money out of it. I saw a youtube video yesterday and it showed a segment where CBS faked a testing station that had a long line in it, they weren't testing they were just making it look worse. IMHO this is the culmination of lots of money and time trying to bring this nation down. Let's shut down all the Essential businesses, and all the non-essential people can go jump off a cliff I suppose. Bunch of hogwash. There are more abortions each day than this stuff has killed and why aren't those abortions listed under "murder"?? Think on that awhile.

He bought too many packs of cookies once years ago, and now she can't trust him!!

If you leave the door shut long enough they will multiply to the point when you open the door they pop out!! They prefer a little quiet dark place to multiply.

I have a neighbor that put some pretty serious mud tires on his because he was slipping all the time.

I have been saying for years that would be a sport to reduce the numbers of the critters and have fun at the same time. Rednecks will find a way to somehow involve a gun into a sport or make a new one. LOL

Good deal, kill all of them if you have the chance. 1 critter I have no use for because of the damage to the mountains and diseases. As for a .22lr. will kill anything on this planet if put in the right spot. Several years ago when Ted Nugent was letting someone kill a Buffalo at his Michigan ranch the fellow was shooting a 7mm magnum and at 75 or 80 yards shot one broadside, Ted said shoot him again, 1 more broadside, buffalo didn't flinch, Ted said shoot him again, on the 3rd shot you could see the steam come out and he rocked him. Later in the day I was watching another hunting show and they were hunting buffalo out west and the guide asked the hunter if he knew where to shoot him and then said right behind the ear, he was shooting a smaller caliber .243 or 7mm-08 by the sound of it, he shot and the buffalo's lights went out. Another if you put it in the right place, dirt nap.

Scared you pretty good though didn't it???

We used to take cherry bombs and a slingshot and the shooter would load up and pull back, while the other boy the igniter would light the fuse. The tricky part was some fuses are quicker than others, if you timed it just right you could launch the bomb way up in the air and shortly thereafter the sonic boom would rattle all the windows. Probably about as loud as shooting tannerite is today. It is a small miracle that more kids didn't blow off their fingers, hands or put out their eyes back in the day. Kids had to be smarter back then to survive!!LOL

Thanks for all the input. I decided the owb and untucked shirt or jacket is best for me.

I think perhaps Kalifornia needs to look at 11,000 lightning strikes in 1 week causing 367 wildfires. Sounds like God may be trying to send them a message??

I admire the time invested, but I will pass at this time. LOL

Just an FYI if it is allowed. Midsouth Shooters Supply had 30rd steel mags for $119.99 for a 10 pack.

Yeah how screwed up is that. Of course if she kills you it will be a slow death with some disease!!

I am seriously thinking of ditching our smartphones. I lived a pretty good life pre-cellphone and I can still do it. I have maps, can read the maps, have a landline and an answering machine. And if push comes to shove you can send snail mail via the current postal service. If you need to contact me you can call me at home, come to my home or send a letter. Look at all the options you have and none of them involve me paying $85 per month to have my privacy infringed. I also have a flashlight and a camera, as I use my phone for those 2 tasks more than talking on them. I have about had it with all this "smart" technology. I don't need a smart refrigerator talking to my laptop or T.V., sorry I am old school thru and thru. I can also cook supper without electricity on a gas range
