    I’ve heard good things on the DB’s lineup.

    Shelves bare of ammo like here? A pallet will come in and there will be a line a mile long waiting on their 2 box maximum. It’s unreal. Hard to find online too. Decent brass 9mm is next to impossible.

    Didn’t have nearly as hard of a time with .308 though which is nice, especially with the match grade shit, but damn it’s pricey to shoot
    Most of the retailers are saying primers are the bottleneck in the ammo manufacturing pipeline.

    Speaking of ammo, Midway had a decent markdown on some blem bullets. Grabbed 400 of what looks like Sierra GameKings. Figure I'll load up a small batch when I get around to it.

    Turned 56 recently and Mrs. AG snagged me a few boxes of .270 Win. for my b'day. Some HSM and some Underwood ammo.

    The HSM was surprisingly group friendly ( it uses Berger VLD bullets).

    I need to borrow a Chrono for the Underwood .270 Win. I believe it is even a little hotter than factory specs.

    Cuz, I didn't know you live in Alabama. I used to live a few blocks from the Tennessee River in Decatur ages ago when I was a kid . If you could stay clear of the cottonmouths, moccasins, and copperheads, the channel catfishing was phenomenal. Hopefully the industry and Browns Ferry nuke plant hasn't crapped up the river.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Yeah, I hear the same thing. And they're working around the clock to try to meet the demand, but it's just not enough. The only way they could meet the current demand is if they build new factories and that's a massive investment that could ruin them if demand goes back to normal.
