I think its far too soon to tell.

One should note that while the stock market dropped some 500-700
points that day..its already starting to go back up

so far, any losses have been paper losses for most investors.

Me..Im stocking up on canned goods, reading material and stockpiling
fuel.

Im already good to go on ammo, etc etc..."just in case"

About half way down the page, if you buy 1200 rounds, $510, shipping
is free.

There isnt any. It all went to the Sandbox

Now 7.62x54....its pretty cheap by the spam can and fits a Dragonov
nicely

Sportsmen's Guide has non-corrosive Wolf Military Classic 7.62x39 for
my SKS at $99/500. Corrosive Romanian in a spam can is $117. All are
steel, non-reloadables. Have you bought brass for your SKSes before,
then reloaded?

Maybe Jim can stretch this stuff to fit. g

I used that corrosive 7.62x54 ammo a lot and still have some left. It
is corrosive indeed. However, by now that ammunition is very old and
gives plenty of duds. Okay for range practice, but not so good for any
real life "situation". I would say that my practice was 10-20% of
duds.

For most B-)

It wasn't the market hiccup which sent the price of WaMU down
another 90%. That was good old fashioned Corporate Screwups (with
help from the Government).
Nothing from Washington will help now.

Hmmm, yep. sounds good. I'm unpacking reading material - could
use some of that for heat in a pinch.

Just a case.

It would be metalworking at least....

Unless you are firing from a fortified position, you are not going to get to shoot that
much before being taken out by the government.


Now ammo would be an excellent barter item though.

Uncle built reloading dies for a 50/70 or some sort of odd cartrige recently. Sounds like
he has a buddy with an oldie that wants to touch it off.

Speaking of oldies, a couple years ago, I went out to the range during
the Machine Gun Shoot day and one guy had built a matchlock rifle out
of an old Vulcan barrel. He cast the 20mm lead balls himself and
"touched it off" with a rope of real hemp. He got lots of interesting
looks from the folks downwind, myself included. I ended up shooting
the thing. Great fun "plinking" with a 20mm instead of a .22! The
second-long time delay with the fuse and the flashpan was a kick, too.

I'm wondering when it's going to be illegal to shoot the soft-tipped
Wolf ammo here in Oregano. They're already illegal in CA due to the
lead content, I believe.

Can you cast that stuff at 1000F? I actually googled a bit but melting temps didn't
seem to show up. (Not really considering it, just curious)
