Just curious, my dad was frugal and he would always pick up his range brass from pretty much anything bigger than .22 I would help re-load those and also loaded shotgun shells for him as a kid.
There are signs not to pick up your own brass but I do as I am a wildcatter. It would be hard for them to sell it anyway.

Ammo was so scarce after covid I don't see how any flipper could make money off it. Plus, I hate military ammo anyway as it's got crimped primers.

Holy crap. Is ammo available for this?

.223 (AR-15 ammo), .338 Lapua, .50 BMG and 20mm

The horror, the horror. A quote from Apocalypse Now by Marlon Brando. Joe Biden, the president of the United States, who by the way uses his son as a bagman, is going to ban the sale of menthol cigarettes. Not that the citizens of the United States don't have other more pressing issues to contend with. Menthol cigarettes?.......Who the hell gives a damn! And many farmers did go out of business just like many manufacturers have over the years do to outsourcing to communist, bribe paying, countries like China, Joe's friends.

What's your hobby? I want the government to make it substantially more expensive for you to enjoy, for no good reason other than I don't like it and don't think you should, either. So tell us - what do you do besides complain online and maybe work occasionally?

The 80% crowd used to have that same attitude.

Make no mistake - they'll come for reloaders, too. There are regulatory paths to ending that activity. You can only reuse brass so many times, and you can't make your own primers. The eventual goal is total disarmament, so of course they will.

No doubt. These fascist are also eyeballing ghost guns. You know, even guns that are ghosts.

The US is shipping M4s to Ukraine with the long range goal of getting them away from Soviet weaponry that they can't get parts and replacements for. That should provide the ammo plant with plenty of fresh contracts.

20mm is a cannon and is a class 3 destructive device. We live in Mo and I know a guy who has one.

You can probably buy a few 20mm rounds at a gun show, but can't buy the cannon.

Bummer about the Federal- I have about 50-60,000 rounds of Federal .223. It was my favorite. There are, of course, many other brands.

Biden Administration Moves to Cut Off Lake City .223/5.56 Ammo From the Commercial Market



Pardon me while I go order another 5k rounds before the prices skyrocket...

B-b-b-but Biden doesn't control the market.

Or a pocket full for that matter.


It doesn't bother you when government works around the laws to accomplish something outside its power? You know that can work against you as well.
