You can bet your sweet patooty when the next Democrat gets in office, shelves will be empty and prices through the roof. Could be in two years or six.

Yeah, I can't personally vouch for Bear Creek quality. I just see low prices. However, in my (limited) experience, Palmetto State is good to go.

Well I gambled and bought a BCA 6.5 Grendel. Heavy stainless fluted for $239. To good to be true, but better than I expected. Have not put it on paper because I didn't want to many round until I got an adjustable gas block. It was over-gassing. The 20 inch barrel is about 200 fps slower than the manuals, even the one based on an 18 inch barrel. All I can say about accuracy is it doesn't miss tennis ball size dirt clumps at 200 yards.

Before I purchased I had read that you don't know what you will get from BCA. One guy said he has received junk to tack drivers and you never know which UPS is going to bring you.

Tennis ball @ 200 will make a deer dead.

PSA rifles and parts are good and getting better every year. They also have a lifetime warranty.

Know one ever said I have too much ammo.
Stock up when you can afford to buy it.
Anyone saying I have too much hasn't walked in my shoes.

just read the posts about BCA.... That B.S. with the Feds wasn't their fault, lots of businesses get duped by people using someone elses SSN.... and If i'm not mistaken they weren't the only ones that got raided that day for that same reason... I purchased a 6.5grendel upper with a 24" barrel from them and did a quick workup of some 107 tmks and got them to shoot under 3/4" 5 shot groups at 100 yards.... I was also able to get the 95grain vmaxes to shoot 1" at 100 yards..... is it the best ever? no, but for a complete upper for $249 to my door, I'll take it....

I normally get 3 emails a day from Palmetto. Ammo listed on all of them usually .223 and 9mm. No ammo shown on their latest emails today.

In an End of days Zombie apocolypse type scenario i'd choose the M1 over any AR. The weight of the rifle and ammo would mean next to nothing. The knock down of the 06 and the reliability of the M1 would be all the reason I'd need. If an M1 breaks it probably still shoots as a single shot.

Things are coming back around finally. I haven't seen these powders in years. Now on the shelf at Scheels in Fargo, and have been for over a week. Ammo shelves are overflowing with inventory too.

Yes, prices suck, but at least you can get it. Hopefully prices start to fall as the stuff sits. Primers have already come down some. Things should be pretty stable for the next 3 years, but you never know...

If you would have listened the first time, you'd be ahead of the game. In retrospect, even I should have stocked a few more things. I knew the election would be an influence, but I didn't see the biggest scam in human history (aka Covid) coming.

I picked up 2 lbs if H4895 from Runnings over 3 weeks ago. I only use it for reduced loads for 243 and 6.5 Creedmoor.

Brownells had the winchester small rifle military primes for $50/1000 with free hazmat and shipping. I picked up 5,000 for that price. Still not the price I would like but about the cheapest i've seen in a long time.

Damn am I glad I stocked up many years ago, I am the guy everyone hates. If my house/ shop burns you all will hear WW 3 somewhat I do have a special room with concrete thicker than shit and all temperature-controlled kind like big ficking Fort Knox with vault door built for hell. If a war does break out, I am set. My insurance company thinks I am crazy till they bill me for premium. God please America as Ted Nugget says. Primmers where 8$ Thousand. Powder same, bullets to, 223 ammo 3 cents a round and list goes on and on.

Ammo better come down because people are buying it unless it’s $10 for a box of 9mm like Runnings had last weekend. Sold out a whole pallet before the afternoon
