Rural Alaskans luv the old military guns, so when all the new calibers came out for ARs, well it’s second nature. I used a 6.8 for a couple years, then Armalite 338 fed, but it was just too heavy to lug around. Picked up a 308 SCAR a year back and it’s killed a bunch of caribou, a few black bear, and my nephew even killed a grizzly bear with that SCAR, 250 yards away moving out too; magazines are sweet for when ya miss the first shot or two. Anyway, I load 165 A-FRames & 168 TTSX’s with RL-15, TAC, and 4064 if I have to. I only load 43 grains or less, chrono’s right under 2500 and that’ll kill anything I’m shooting at. Here’s the problem, just look around for some RL-15 or TAC; non-existent. I see primers, can mail in bullets, but there ain’t powder anywhere right now. Something ain’t right?
Yeah?
I tried to buy a box of instant ice packs the other day.
Went to 4 drug stores before I found a pack.
1st thought was “that’s crazy. someone must be building something”
“I see primers, can mail in bullets, but there ain’t powder anywhere right now. Something ain’t right?”
I would agree. While guns and ammo are becoming readily available now, powder is almost impossible to find. Especially the popular #’s.
