They only have one arrow in the quiver.... More laws. They never try to get to the root causes of things, they just skip to the part where they try to control everyone, all of the time.
Interesting that the recommendation is to load the boxes with the bullet side up. I always load them with primer side up so I can visually inspect the primer seating (reloads of course). Not sure if I will change my routine as I usually don't leave the boxes open and next to me while I shoot.
I usually purchase 1oz ASE's and when I get 20x of them I fill a tube (I bought a bunch of empty mint tubes). Usually in 5x or 10x increments depending on deals.
That 1911 is just too nice to shoot.... At least I wouldn't. My 1911's are all marked up from me disassembling for cleaning (ham fisted ogre that I am).
I have seen language in some proposed bills that include any firearm that can accept a detachable magazine.... So not specifically semi auto but this frankenstein rifle is stuck in between.
I could almost understand if it was tubular magazine fed. But not a lever action with external release magazine... It would still fall victim to any of the stupid proposed AWB type bans around semi autos with detachable magazines.
So their primer prices went from utterly ridiculous to just ridiculous. Not blaming them specifically as almost all vendors are fairly close in primer pricing right now. Basically, it is not as economically feasible to reload bulk as it once was (hasn't for a while) and with ammo prices back...
Funny (sic) how the oldest parts of America are the ones making the same mistakes that led to the founding of the country to begin with. This is what happens when you re-write history books and learn nothing from the past.
