It's still highway robbery though!

I haven't had much trouble getting any of the IMR/Hodgdon powders, ramshot/AA, or VhitaVuori/Norma. The powders from Alliant are the ones we normally don't get, although a big amount of RX-15, 17, and 19 finally came into town. Bullets from Nosler and Sierra are pretty hard to get. Speer, Hornady, and Berger are always coming in. Primers are everywhere here. Lot more brass is starting to show up as well. 22s are now coming in by the butt load and actually staying on the shelves. So this is just my guess but it looks like we might finally be seeing some light. :thumbsup:

It'll sure be nice to see a break in these shortages, but it'll only take one more tragedy, or proposed gun law, or potential anti-gun politician running there yap,...etc, to put it right back to crazy again.
Luckily, I haven't needed anything during this last "shortage". I could use some R-15, but I'm not hurting for it.
I've heard that Ramshot Big Game is hard to find right now. I have enough for me, but I do know a guy looking for some. Next time you're in the gun shop, take a peek and see if they have any.
I could give him the phone number to the store, and maybe he could talk them into shipping him some.

He runs a 17/204 like mine, and it is THE powder for that one...

Thanks guys. I don't gave the duck funds right now to turn it into what I want but for the asking price I had to jump on it.

Going to make it a dedicated diver boat. With hard sided blind and decoy storage like the bigger boats. Will never be able to take it off shore but for the big lakes down here where divers are it'll be perfect.

No W231/HP38. It was magnum that was on the shelf, not big game.

Top is a Wilson Recon Tactical SR (Suppressor Ready) in 5.56. Currently have an Aimpoint Comp M3 for optics on it.
Middle is a LMT Lower with a BCM Upper and DD rail. BCM was running a special, free BCM bolt with all upper purchases, so I capitalized. Running an Aimpoint PRO on that one.
Bottom one is a Sig 10.5 "pistol." It's now outfitted with a Troy rail, Surefire weapon light, and Noveske flash suppressor with an EOTech sight.
Top pistol is a Wilson Classic. Bottom is a Kimber Eclipse. Both are full size.

I've got 3 (including this) Form 4's in ATF jail. I try not to think about it...sounds like the e-filed Form 1's are getting turned around in ~30 days, you'll see your stamp long before I do.

What caliber are you building the SBR in?


Nice guns, BTW
