[RC one]

Nobody is buying guns anymore? I'm picking this up tomorrow:

Furthermore, I wonder how companies like Hornady, Lyman, Sierra, Hodgdon, Alliant, Lee, RCBS, Starline, etc are doing?

I think millions of Americans are having a great summer shooting the firearms they have purchased over the winter. Ammo and reloading components are both increasingly available. Americans are enjoying their passion just like every other summer and that means spending money on ammunition and reloading components.

The market is surely saturated with affordable 5.56 mm semi auto AR15 clones but that should just incentivize the manufacturers to bring new products to market that will bring potential buyers back into the market.

What kind of products? How about affordable .50 cals? How about reliable and affordable AR15s chambered for cartridges like .300 win mag, .243 win., 22-250, etc.

If colt wants to make a killing, all they have to do is start making legendary revolvers again.

Kel Tec and Utas need to bring out the semi-auto versions of their bullpup shotguns.

Jim Rowland needs to ramp up his .460 Rowland conversions development and production.

Bottom line: Americans have what they need so now the manufacturers need to offer them what they want.

Neat looking weapon.
What is it?

I really admire the S&W 929. It would be a fine addition. On the wish list when I get home. My 5 year exile to San Diego is nearly over.

“Kel Tec and Utas need to bring out the semi-auto versions of their bullpup shotguns.”

OMG, now wouldn’t that be interesting.

Re powder, try find Hodgdon Varget and Alliant AR Comp online, anywhere. Difficult if not impossible. Yet, I go down to Fin, Feather, and Fur, the they have 8# containers of AR Comp all over the place. WTF!
