      Are they currently making Trailboss?

      I really hate it when I'm right sometimes...

In order to move these items quickly, practically all of these items are being sold BELOW WHOLESALE...

      Vista Outdoor Sale to CSG... Good, Bad or Ugly?

      Hodgdon does not own any powder manufacturers. When they sold Goex, they quit manufacturing powder. They are strictly a packaging and marketing company now. They purchase powder from several different manufacturers from around the globe. The biggest reason (not the only reason) for the price...

      Vista Outdoor Sale to CSG... Good, Bad or Ugly?

      If my understanding is correct, there is still a chance that they will take a different offer from a different buyer. They are still negotiating. https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/vista-outdoor-urges-mnc-capital-increase-offer-price-3-bln-bid-2024-04-22/

      Why the Hype for the HK P7

      I bought a P7M8 back in the late 90s. IIRC, I paid $400 for it (about market price at the time). About 15 years later, I sold the empty box for $399 and the manual for $95 on eBay. I still carry the P7M8. It shoots great. It does get hot when you put a lot of rounds downrange at a time...

      Helium comedy club carry

      Does anyone know if this is still true? My wife is going there in a week or so and is trying to figure out "what to wear".

      Sad and Sickened at powder prices

      There are also a lot of places that don't sell stuff very fast and just haven't had to replace it recently. My prices change rapidly because we move products rapidly. $30 for W231 is a great price (that is actually below wholesale today), but I'd be amazed if the powder was made recently. It's...

      Small Pistol Primer .45 brass is annoying!

      We actually get people that request them. Small pistol primers are much more available and less expensive. The key is to buy them pre-sorted in large quantities and just keep them separated. For people that do small lots, it's probably not worth the time though.

      Berger 140 hybrid target

      We have them in stock, but they are new stock. Unfortunately, that means they are at 2024 prices. It looks like the other links posted are at last year's prices. Last year's retail price is this year's wholesale price...

      Greentown Gun Show Apr 20 & 21

      It's still a pretty new show, so I'm not sure what to expect. The first 2 shows were once a year. This will be the first time a gun show has been done in the spring at this location. Previously, we were only able to schedule them in the middle of summer, during the slow season. That being said...

      Best place to buy ammo

      We aren't really near Fort Wayne, but we stock .22 WRF at the store and at gun shows.

      This. Every question I've seen in this thread related to the application of the new rule is answered here.

      Primers

      They are just rebranded Unis Ginex primers. Sometimes they literally just put Cam Pro stickers on the Ginex boxes. I believe Prvi Partizan uses them, if I'm not mistaken.

      Primers

      Wow, that's less than what I pay for them at wholesale.
