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.

I bet people are using bots like the GPU scalpers.

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.

Going to have to remember this one.

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

Wish I had one years ago.

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.

What do you guys think is going to happen after the 20th WRT to the 2A?

Of course there’s going to be a lot of proposals and promises made but what do you think will actually pass?

Have a feeling the politicians don’t grasp the reality that was this past year’s gun sales. I imagine there will more push back from their constituents than they expect. I think they will get a few things passed but nothing like what they are taking about. One thing I think has a good chance of happening is the ban on on-line sales.

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.

The democraps are the best gun salesman's.

I have a feeling that things hit the supreme court. The bump stock lawsuits are not holding up in court. The feds are losing.

There are a lot of people out there that are really regretting not stocking up earlier.

Indeed. I’m hopeful but trying to be realistic.

I stocked up for Y2K. I'm just replacing stuff that I've been using.

I'm in fair shape, I didn't buy enough 6.8 SPC when I got the rifle and now the same with 300 BLK.

Unfortunately, I didn't do a very good job stockpiling powder & primers in the last few years, but I have done a pretty good job with ammo.

Most was reloaded in the early 2000s, and I've taken a few out to make sure things are okay.

Prices going up 4/1.

TBH I’m not surprised. I’m actually surprised that this didn’t happen sooner. I bet it is going to get worse before the end of the year. Especially when all the inflation from printing all that money starts kicking in.
