BP Hoarding
Marcruger:
I was just musing about how some folks are screaming "HOARDING" lately. I don't have a greyhound in this fight as I am not currently looking for or purchasing BP.
If someone 2 years ago ordered 10 pounds of black powder, folks would have said, "Oh you're a smart shopper."
Today if someone buys 10 pounds of powder and tells folks, the scream is "hoarding!"
All about timing.
I am not talking about (to me) unpleasant characters to clean out whatever stock they can find of a commodity they don't use, and then resell at a huge markup. In my personal opinion, that is pretty predatory, capitalism factored in.
I sort of compare it to the old joke, "What's the difference in archaeology and grave robbery? Oh, about 100 years." All about timing.
Just thinking out loud. Marc

I definitely went and bought the last can they had at my local store last week. I have 1 and 1/2 cans currently at home. Waiting for them to run out then "hoping" I can buy replacements was not a smart move, seeing what happened to all other reloading commodities the last year. I shoot about a can a year....So I will keep about 2 cans at the ready.

Good time to get a peashooter for plinking and target work! 35 grains of powder getting 200 shots a pound sounds pretty good.

Yep, I was going to buy a Kibler 45 caliber SMR to go with my Kibler 40 caliber SMR. Think I will just make do with my 40. Also looks like the Kibler Trade gun may be out as well, unless some company picks up the slack. Sorry Jim.

My 32s shoot 15 grains of powder so over 450 shots per pound. They definitely help stretch out powder when its hard to get.
