What? Only 5lbs?200 pieces Norma 6 PPC brass and 5 pounds LT32 powder. 700 $$$$$$$$$$
I called and it's the same lot as I'm shooting and that'll be enough for this new barrel. If the price of something doesn't come down after the election that may be the end of my match shooting days.What? Only 5lbs?![]()
I'm gonna wear out a barrel every year, Lord willing. With the cost of components, barrels, gunsmithing, travel etc., the cost of a competition shooter is up there with bass fishing, golf and big game hunting. I don't like it but unless you like puttering around your yard and watching TV, you gonna have to pay to play. This game has gotten too expensive like everything else. The Fed's money printing machine is working overtime and nothing will stop this inflation. It's worse than they are reporting too! I feel for you my friend.I called and it's the same lot as I'm shooting and that'll be enough for this new barrel.

I could afford the price of powder if it didn't cost so dang much to eat and put gas in the truck and frigging health and homeowners insurance
I got into the .22 match shooting to hopefully stem the loss of revenue from handloading, and now I think I'm even broker.I'm gonna wear out a barrel every year, Lord willing.

Heck 4-5!years ago I'd wear out a barrel in the winter time just practicing and go through 2-3 in matches in the summer. But then Krieger and Bartlien blanks were 250 instead of 450 and brass was 75$ instead of 200 and powder was 200 instead of 480 a keg and on and on,, but the stuff you have to have to live has gone up at least as much also.I'm gonna wear out a barrel every year, Lord willing.

joe did that! Hoping that after Trump wins the election, fuel prices start settling back down and other costs get back to somewhat reasonable.I could afford the price of powder if it didn't cost so dang much to eat and put gas in the truck and frigging health and homeowners insurance
