I have been toying with the idea of starting to reload. One of my coworkers knew that and told me her dad was getting rid of some powder and asked would I take it off his hands. Just picked it up and apparently he gave me 20 lbs of IMR 4064. Is that a lot? As far as I can tell a Dillon 650 is good to go, right? Where do I go from here?  I'd personally get a 550 over a 650, or a 1050 if you are going to load a TON of ammo. |

If a functioning firearm breaks/malfunctions, I won't be cannibalizing a working firearm, the broken/malfunctioning firearm will become a spare parts donor if needed.

I have been saying that 2020 is going to bring with it another 2008/2012esque panic. Plan accordingly.
Anyone who hasn't learned from history is going to be left without... at least until the supply can catch up again. Or if new legislation comes into play, that may not be an option. I suspect the CA ammunition regulation is going to be the model for other states, just like the AWB was. State-level legislation is a massive risk. More PSA Federal 5.56 and Fiocchi 9x19 inbound. |
