Everything is drying up with Jan 20th coming.

I got an e-mail notice for powder. Soon as I got the notice. I logged on to the site. Put the powder in my basket and tried to check out. Only to be told that where was no more. I was a too slow.

Just got this in the mail today.

It's for leveling scopes on rifles that have a flat top. It works good. Cuts down the time for trying to level the scope. Comes in a nice case too.

It's a piece of cake to use. Well worth it.

Wish I had one years ago.

I bet people are using bots like the GPU scalpers.

I bet some are. I've seen some of the video's from recent gun shows and the people there selling ammo have stock piles of it. Selling it for 3 to 4 times over.

Seen some of those videos too.

There is a gun show on my area this weekend. Definitely not going because of all the scalping. Fortunately my local guns stores have been keeping their prices reasonable, when in stock. However I’m not in need of ammo so I’ve been able to stay out of all this nonsense. Stocked up a long time ago.

I'm stocked on everything I need for the most part. I'm just getting stuff for the RPR 338 rifle. I have 5 lbs of H1000 and 3 lbs of RL26 for it. To load for 100 rounds for it. That's 1.3 lbs of powder. Need to get more Hornady 285 gr match bullets for it.
