Gotcha! It was really a loaded question. No pun intended.

Shoot a carcass, pumpkin, etc. with a 9mm and then with a 220 Swift and see what each does. You just might be surprised.

I’m pretty cynical. I’d like to see the actual text of recent government contracts. I believe this was planned one way or another. You are spot on that it does retailers no good. I’m not so sure about Vista.

Right. You’ve seen prices double or triple though. Scarcity tends to do that. I’m thinking there isn’t any real shortage, just an updated business model. It seems like retailers would be pizzed were that the case, but what are they to do? Vista Outdoors has gobbled up just about all the shooting related companies. I thought there were antitrust and monopoly laws against this type practice. However, it would please .gov to see a decline in the shooting sports, so here we are.

I disagree. Pistols usually do less damage because they shoot a SLOWER bullet.

Have you considered we haven’t seen fully stocked shelves since before the last great American component panic? I think it is a new business model. Nobody’s paying 100/1000 for primers when there are cases of them stacked to the ceiling, but set out one box at a time and folks line up for them.

Self fulfilling prophesy. Everybody run to Academy and get in line!!!! Vista Outdoors has found a better sales campaign than commercial advertising.

I'd determine a price and post them here. If they don't sell, then try plan b. There are some good folks to deal with on this forum, and bring much less drama than other places you could sell. I still haven't figured out why everything interesting ends up in Memphis though. They need to move it closer to middle Tennessee.

Similar. Same ammo fired from a comparable firearm.

Let your Senators and Representatives know about it.

I’ve no idea what happened. It would be nice if once a reporter actually did some investigating.

How does a magnet ignite a round? Perhaps pulling the firing pin/striker forward?

Make no mistake. It is a tax. Anything else involved is designed to discourage you from buying firearms.

I really don’t think much either way of her. I’m just sick of seeing her on the tv every time it’s on. Not really her fault though. I feel the same way about British royalty.

Don’t know where that is.

Simpler than that. Load em up and haul em home. As far as turning them into cash, you have several options with varying difficulty/varying amounts of cash realized. 1) Easy…Take a cash offer from a schmuck like me and be done with it. 2) more difficult/more lucrative…employ an auction house with a good reputation to sell them, or find a reputable dealer to sell them on consignment. 3)‘most difficult/maximum profit…research value, advertise them, and sell each one individually yourself. This will require dealing with deadbeats, navigating the ever challenging world of shipping firearms, etc., but will realize maximum profit if you have the time and inclination to go that route.

She’s Dolly Parton without the teats. Everything she gets accolades for, she makes money at. I do admire the prowess of her publicists.

Man! I really like those!!!

There's one right now in the classifieds for $1000 or best offer. Bet it doesn't last long!

Perhaps make an appointment with your state representative?

Never been, but it sounds like a nice trip.

Little breezy here just now.

Or an ATF agent on a fishing expedetion.

That does sound good. I’ll have to give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
