THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!!!!!Several variables arrived on scene at roughly the same time--piezo-quartz electronic transducers replaced copper and lead crusher interpretation; general ownership of chrongraphs (the polygraph of ballistics) expanded greatly, coupled with a reloading and casting renaissance brought about by cyclic ammo/firearm/components shortages. This occurred c. 1985-1995, and remains in place today.
Nothing has been the same since this occurred. We now know for a fact that ammomakers have lied to us for decades about product performance. Since they have proven themselves to be consummate BSers, perhaps we should not accept at face value their whining and moaning about supply stream issues for ammo or components.
That The Makers wish to add another caliber to the mix seems strangely timed, given that ammo and components have been very scarce for close to two years. These companies move in mysterious ways.
Kinda makes sense, doesn't it? I mean, you can't get ammo for 9mm or 380's, much less 38's or 357s', or 45's that people already own. But BAZINGA!!! They've got a gazillion rounds for this new gun that costs twice what it should that you can buy.well they are certainly coordinated.
there's already 2 pistols slated for release, ain't nobody buying a gun they can't get ammo for.
so there's gonna be boxes on the shelf soon, those same guns are chambered in other rounds, but are they gonna have cases of stuff available too?
There's an interesting discussion that helps explain the current situation here: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/what-great-ammunition-shortage-says-about-inflation It might be worth following up on the links from there as well.Nothing has been the same since this occurred.

I will admit to not knowing what Teddy's father did to get his money.Yeah, bit good old TR already had his money he got from his daddy the small time Robber Baron. That always makes things simpler for SJ warriors.
Social Justice. Not you , TR, our first Progressive Prez. I was just trying to be non-political while still pointing out a lot of the famous SJW's already have their wealth to fall back on while they chastise others for trying to get some $$$.I will admit to not knowing what Teddy's father did to get his money.
What are SJ warriors?
I think Bret was referring to TR as a SJW. I think Bret is right. Teddy got to go run around out west and play cowboy, them got into politics. He couldn't have done that as a real work a day laborer or rancher.Thank you, Rick.
Me, a social justice warrior? That's today's laugh. I meant that Vista's monopoly, and apparent market manipulation and price fixing needs busting.
I'm not doubting he wasn't monied, still he saw the wrongs of monopolies and those who controlled them. I certainly wouldn't compare him to the likes of modern day social justice warriors, George Soros and Antifa.I think Bret was referring to TR as a SJW. I think Bret is right. Teddy got to go run around out west and play cowboy, them got into politics. He couldn't have done that as a real work a day laborer or rancher.
Ah, yes, the entrenched elites and their swamp dwelling enablers are not about to ease their grips on the levers.If only it were that simple!
