On the IRS, they really do not want to kill you. They do not mind turning you into a homeless person. My son ran afoul of them and whenever he gets work, they garnish so much of his check he cannot afford to live. I suggested some ways to fix the situation but he is too much of a hard head to do any of them.


I typed this up a day or 2 ago and forgot to hit the "Post Reply Button". Whoops.

I'm so sick of ammo shortages. I just want some rounds for the kids and I to plink/target shoot/clays. Might end up canceling this year's prairie dog shoot. This time 'round is nothing like a few years back when Barry was in office. It's like the perfect storm. Ammo manufacturers got behind due to the Chicom Plague, then add in the idiototic BLM protests, and now the bumbling dope and his commie sidekick taking office this week. And then we got morons hoardin' like it's toilet paper. Sheesh..............just needed to rant a bit..........................
Quit complaining and reload your own stuff.

I hear you brother.
Can't even find any CCI 22 Standard, bought a different brand and lost the nice tight CCI grouping...
Though I have been forced to buy some pricy Winchester 9mm instead of my usual cheap rubbish and the grouping has improved.

Here are 30+ listings for CCI standard.


I've bought off of Ammoseek.com for many years. Never had a bad experience.

Does no one remember 2012? You all had 8 years to get some reserves built up.
I never get involved with this stuff, but this isn't political in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. Zero! It's a common sense issue. Back in 2017 - 2019, I was seeing the lowest ammo prices in 20 years! All I did was realize this can't last - and I could afford to do something about it. So I did PLENTY about it.
Ammo shortage? My safes will beg to differ.

With what primers?
I was in a gun shop in SW New Hampshire the other day, and was surprised to see a lot of powder. Many different, and at good prices.
I remarked on it, and owner said "And I've got a lot more coming in".
So I asked about primers.
Yes, I have them. What kind do you need?
Large pistol and large rifle.
Haven't been able to get any of those for many months - what I do have are musket caps.

To myself, I questioned the wisdom of stocking all that powder when primers are in short supply. On the other hand, maybe buying whatever you can whenever you find it isn't that bad an idea.

Target Sports just sent me a notice for $300 per case.
Good price and I would have bought it but what I am short of is time to get to the range so didn’t bother stacking up more stuff I won’t shoot.
