Small rifle primers are absolutely impossible to find now. Some powders, like IMR 4895, are as well. If you reload, and I do, it's aggravating.<br /><br />Firearms sales have experienced the same thing. Particularly with some categories of rifles, such as AR15 based platforms.<br /><br />It's really just simply a panic. There are no bills pending that have a chance of being passed, but people are hoarding out of a fear that there will be. I keep thinking it'll pass, but so far there's no signs of the panic letting up soon.Yeomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907293659510877574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220057250271426855.post-85174600373007159772009-03-16T15:29:00.000-04:002009-03-16T15:29:00.000-04:00You want to know what I find scary?

Agree or disagree with the Confederacy, I've read of the North being awash with fears of a Southern Slave Conspiracy taking over the union that were as ludicrous as 9/11 "truthers". I can't help but find it disturbing that some people, however few they may be at the moment (for I've seen stranger things go from nonsense to not uncommon belief through a careless media), would direct the same type of paranoia at modern desires to seek self-protection outside the Federal government.Shakespeare's Cobblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365079712115497355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220057250271426855.post-46952882634503844902009-03-14T16:47:00.000-04:002009-03-14T16:47:00.000-04:00My wife prefers her S&W .38 revolver.

No shortage of that size yet. Me? I don't have a handgun. Rifles have always seemed to do the job. But if things keep going down the toilet, I may pick up a Ruger .38 or .357.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The ACP is a nice design, and it's cool they're using it with a reasonably sized round. .45 is just too painful to shoot even in a handgun. Last time I put a couple dozen rounds through my son's .45, I couldn't use my right hand for the rest of the day.Danbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00627270393248813976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220057250271426855.post-85693872021334490962009-03-13T19:55:00.000-04:002009-03-13T19:55:00.000-04:00Thanks for the reminder!

I had looked at these a couple of weeks ago, and wanted to look at them more intently later...well, my husband just went out and bought me one--guess that's my birthday and anniversary presents rolled into one, lol! And the ammo to go with it, thanks be to God. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04104786303721290423noreply@blogger.com
