Yep! Pretty much the same for me. Got into this waaaay more than I thought I ever would but I have no regrets. Though I do think that smokin' crack and chasing hookers would be cheaper(you'd have to ask Hunter about that though!
) but not nearly as much fun!!Not where I live. I got "stuff" that has no trail whatsoever!
I had a high school buddy that bought a 69 Z28 Camaro in the mid 80's and he only drove it around his cul-de-sac. Convinced him to not only really drive but to let me drive it since I rebuilt the motor for him. I took it out and let it rip!!! He totally freaked out and just parked in the drive way but he was impressed with how it performed. One day we were playing basket ball and one of the guys missed a rebound and the ball smacked the hood and dented it. Me and that guy were no longer welcome at his place. No big deal, he wasn't that good a friend to begin with!!
Enough to make all but the largest of fire companies in my area very nervous if things started to blow.
I have owned OLN corp. ( Olin / Winchester ) Stock, several Times over the Years and drew, several Dividends BUT, after seeing, the product Quality going down a Bit, over the last several years, I Sold it ( got, NICE Capital Gains + Dividends ). Don't "track it" anymore, tho as I only own, good, Div paying, CEF/ ETF's, now.Just did a quick search and it looks like the stocks of some of the companies is all over the place!
Thought it would be better than what I found.
I'd take my neighbors to my left and right and probably a good chunk of the guys house across the street if my powder were to go up! And that's just the powder! Primers? Fuggitaboutit!!!
His prices are give away but they are niche items that many people who are called shooters don’t know anything about. Also unless you reload you would never be able to shoot and even though you might have some reloading skills not nearly enough. How many shooters know even what your pride and joy, 6PPC is or 20Practical . The times where the old Winchesters ,Colts,S&W’s et Al are dwindling because they are not affordable to the vast majority nor can the place’s to use them be easily found ie. hunting or target ranges. We tend to live in urban areas where why we have firearms has drastically changed and in a time where “shooters “just,for the most part buy ammo to seldom shoot their pride and joy. EVERYTHING we have will be sold and the question will be who will buy these wonderful items and very possibly at bargain prices!? To a non- reloader?A non-hunter!? A non-competitor !?
In my neck of the woods the shelves occasionally get stocked but it's almost all gone in an hour or so.
I shoot often at two different public ranges here in Arizona and what I observe each time I go out is a small percentage of shooters on the line using reloaded cartridges at either site; maybe 5% or less. And I think that percentage is skewed to the larger degree as it seems states where shooting and hunting is more prevalent, like Arizona, you'll see a higher percentage of reloaders.
Well, you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you cant pick your friends nose.
