THESE people are INSANE.
There was damned near a pavillion full of people selling camo. For everything. “If it’s between October 15th and November 22, northwest of Kansas City, and it has been raining for more than twenty minutes, THIS camo is PERFECT for you!
Trust me, I’m NOT exaggerating. Well, not much, anyway. And I thought the black rifle people were goofy.
I looked at all the stuff at the show, including Ranier bullets and Hornady presses, and discovered something… well, unsettling.
I can buy reloads cheaper than handloading.
No, really, theres a local place that sells reloaded bulk ammo, loaded with the components I specify, for $250 a thousand. And they have a return policy on brass, $30 a thousand. Which makes the end price $220 a thousand. Between the cost of the components and the time I’d spend, I could not EVER handload this cheaply. Plus, they do a damned nice job.
So I’ll continue to handload for the rifles, and tell the fine folks at Precision Cartridge to take care of my pistol ammo needs.
Now I just need to get there and stock up.
