With the economy experiencing a period of lowered expectations, to put it Bushily....is anyone stocking up on mail order/internet purchases? The way I see it, it can't be long before all the dealers and suppliers are going to have to charge more for shipping, and due to rising shipping costs, they'll have to raise their prices too! Besides that, component costs like lead, brass, copper, are going up. Heck! The newspaper recently had an article about our county sheriff's office not getting its ammo order it put in LAST YEAR...its backlogged on account of the war!!!
So, I'm trying to balance my wish list with my budget, but I think if I make some astute moves (like cashing in on the Cabelas Remington offer) I can save myself some $hooting bucks.........my list goes something like this:
1000 rounds .454 lead ball, 500-1000 rds .452-.454 230 gr fprn, , maybe 1000 rds 158 gr .357 Keiths (I have a BUNCH of .38/.357 brass from once upon a time) 500-1000 fmjfp 9MM for my "other side", along with about 1000 rds of 150 gr 7.62MM pulls (M1, a ton of brass also from highpower days), plus a large Unique (8lbs?), some real black, and a corresponding amount of caps, sml and lrg pistol primers, and large rifle primers. I figure with an order like this I can afford the hazmat charges and still save.
While it might sound good for Armagedon, I'm really just looking to save some bucks over the long haul..............but if Armagedon occured.........
