Well What do you think? 1000 Gr Powder Containers

Can’t Find Reloading Powder? 1000 Grain Bottles Coming Soon! « Daily Bulletin

We all know reloading powder is in VERY short supply these days. And the most popular propellants, such as Varget, H4350, and Reloder 16, are almost impossible to find at reasonable prices. Thankfully, there is a new solution in the works -- smaller containers.

They will only load on average 30 rounds.
There expensive. Estimated at over twice the cost.
It sounds to me like its a marketing move to try and bring more money to their bottom line. What happened to the days when manufactures tried to produce/sell what consumers wanted?

Bullet boxes hold 50 rounds, what were they thinking 1000 Grs and cant even load enough to fill the bullet box. I don't believe 1000 grs is going to work for most reloaders.

A positive it may work for just wanting to try a new powder although I would probably have to purchase 2-1000 Gr containers.

Unless I'm forced to purchase these, I will probably pass on purchasing any of them.

I know it's April first and all, but this is just stupid enough to actually happen. So one (or thousands) could be forgiven for thinking this is real.

What day is it, again?

You have been fooled

You have been fooled

I hope that is the case. Just can't tell with corporations & marketing these days.

I remember laughing about an April 1st post about canned fresh air back in the 90's. Couple of years ago, saw an article about a company selling just that in China. Last year saw a post about a company in the US selling cans of Colorado (I think it was) mountain air. Neither the China one nor the Colo. one were April 1st posts. Be careful what you laugh at...

Don't think it would be a big seller for F-Class . Twenty rounds per bottle ? You'd have to have cases of it , to shoot a big Match . Amused because my first thought was how the "Greenies" would all have to run to their "safe space" over all the extra plastic being wasted , and all the fossil fuels to make the plastic .

I can’t believe it! I walked into my LGS today and there were bricks upon bricks of primers at before the drought prices.

If true, Terrible! Another way to sell less for more. It’s laughable.

It Seems this is an April Fools put out by our Forum Boss / Administrator.

I bought it Hook, Line, and Sinker.
After all, it was the Administrator who put it out.

Once upon a time there was an April fools joke that went like this: Due to regulations and marketing concerns, Ice cream will no longer be sold by the half gallon, instead it will be packaged in 1 1/2 quart containers. Bacon will no longer be sold by the pound, now it will be sold in 12 Oz packages. Sausage will no longer 6 to a package, now 5 to a package, Chlorine Bleach was by the gallon, largest container in the grocery store now will be 2.4 Qt containers. And so the joke went on .....

KISS actually sells air guitar strings, if you buy their air guitar it comes with two packs of air guitar strings. https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2017/02/21/kiss-air-guitar-strings/
