    Looks like with ammo down in cost places have been offering free hazmat at times. Mainly talking about piztol loads as rifle is cheap compaired to new so reloads are not even a question here. Plus i can make better.
    Powders are cheap and goes far in pistol loads.not much is used and I cast so bullets are cheap.
    My real expense is no more deals on primers. 3.5 cents each plus tax is a killer
    Seems like we should be seeing 20 bucks a,brick primers from Russia or Mexico or so other place but have not. Wonder why? But they send plenty cheap ammo..
    I feel silly grabing up new ammo and stock piling it but is a buyers market. Am I alone here letting my equipment sit?

    Late 2015 sanctions on Russia stopped the Tula/wolf primers from coming into the States.

    But whole ammo is ok?
    Seems like that brand made in Mexico that flooded the market with 22lr or someone else would step up.
    Looked like for a short time S&B was competitively priced.
    As of now they are all at the same price point.
    I have just been grabbing cheap ammo as a,whole. If I had to buy bullets it would not be worth it. So for many it can not be with the influx of cheap ammo

    Same for China.
    We let toasters and TVs in from China but no guns or ammo. And ofcouse the latest Phone or computer's.
    I just do not see how it hurts them.

    I am told some is made in Germany and Taiwan too.
    That may be why it is still allowed in.
    I had heard back then that it was coming so I bought all the wolf small rifle magnum primers I could find. My 6x47 match rifles love them.
    It’s a pile that should last me a long time.

    I did too but down to my last 15-20K or so pistol.
    I did end up with piles of powder every time someone died.
    Will just order an 8-pound rifle like Varget and some Pistol at the same time at 160ish each next free hazmat When that runs close to our a Democrat gets in the white house.
    Here is a Calculator this one looks like the one I used to have and works the same.
