The economy is down, the shelves are empty of powder, we have a new p... well you know who I mean

Convince me why I shouldn't just buy 8# cans of RL 15 & RL 22 to reload for my 257 Rob AI, 7mm-08, 270 Win & 375 H&H until this cloud passes

If you do you'll find that in the aggregate that 16 pounds of powder will produce about 2,000 rounds of ammo.....

Obummer won't last a year at the most.....so If the 2,000 rounds are used in a year you are fine....if most of it is left after Obummer then things will improve and you'll want smaller lots of other powders.....

How's that?

shockerDoesn't everyone buy in 8# jugs? If you can afford it ,now, buy it.You may not be able to afford it soon and Obummer isn't the one who caused it. space We may like to blame him but it ain't so. beerI HAVE ALWAYS WATCHED POWDER VALLEY FOR DEALS.You missed the boat if you didn't stock up with DP 85 and DP86 roger

Well, I am certainly buying more powder & primers. When PEBO & his minions in Congress get started, we could end up w/ 100%-1000% taxes on ammo & components. Might as well buy now if you have the money.
