During this last stumble in getting reloading supplies, some friends & I were discussing the likelihood of some CARTRIDGES "disappearing". Heck, before the run on brass, getting some 7MM SAUM brass was hit/miss. OR Norma 300 SAUM.......
While I personally don't believe any mfg with capability to produce something would ever just do away with that capacity; we have all seen some pretty blunt business decisions.
Few years back I bought a spanking new remington rimfire which I was positive would be my last, 5mm rimfire is about the best IMHO, not anymore.
The recent introduction of the 17WSM caused me to actually recoil and shy away from even reading about it. And I want one.
The Browning A-bolts and Winchester 70s chambered in the WSSM CARTRIDGES seemed doomed to handloader status, but is brass around in enough quantity to make shooting practical? Heck, the blued A-bolts have a hard chromed bore. I really want one.
Seems like everyone is getting a little self inflicted "gun control" just from the recent hoarding.Shame
Anyone think some CARTRIDGES might just dry up and blow away?
