Active (that's a key word) handloaders represent a tiny, TINY fraction of the propellants used in the world.

Everybody loves capitalism in theory--until it doesn't go our way.

Conspiracy theories. It explains everything these days. Sigh......

Someone else gets it. Handloaders have always sucked hind tit. We get the leftovers and nothing else. Every handloader in the world could quit, not buy 1 single item ever again and it wouldn’t effect their bottom line one bit.

This is 100% true. All sorts of bs theories backed by zero evidence here about hoarding and gouging, the wars the wars the wars, and "quit buying that will make them lower the price". Reloaders are but a lonely tit hair on a big beast and prices are not going to go down.


Ride well, shoot straight, and speak the truth.
