I was just getting ready to go buy a few cases of 147gr OSM 9mm from Olin.

Alton....isn’t AMC aka old MAC command base there still ?

No doubt ammo will be better quality now with union gone.

May buy 3 cases now an tell em why.....

Stay safe.

I believe you're right wrt AMC. That stretch of the Mississippi was chock a block full of military bases from the Savanna Army Depot at the north to the Olin plant down in Alton.

Alton is one of those great little river towns that's hit hard times over the last few decades. It's a tourist town now but in days gone by they did lots of manufacturing as well as being a major Mississippi River Pilot hub. Barge traffic on that stretch of river is still very heavy.

It's also a beautiful place to boat, hunt, and fish. I've run that stretch of the Big Muddy a few times both on land and on water.

While I'm glad to see the Union take it in the shorts my State can ill afford to lose any more jobs. And Mrs. L and I have spent some wonderful weekends in that part of the State. People mostly have their heads screwed on straight believe it or not.

Interesting days my friend...
