I was at Cabela’s today in Hamburg PA and of course they had nothing....no .223, no .22LR, nothing.
That is obvious.
But what struck me is the fact that even the plastic ammo boxes were sold out of most calibers.
I’m a big proponent of a “Ronco(tm) Home Ammo Maker”.
The logic is odd, that many people are frightened of the simple shop tools need to load and reload. However, put the equivalent of those same shop tools in a white plastic box perhaps the size, or twice the size, of a breadmaker, with a few buttons on the front, and many people would be as happy as a clam to “make their own ammo”.
Put fifty primers, face up, in Rack ‘A’. Put fifty empty, primer-less cartridges, face down, in Rack ‘B’, and fifty bullets, face up, in Rack ‘C’. Put preloaded powder dispenser in slot ‘D’. Push ‘On’ button, then watch for any warning lights.
