    Bulk Powder?

    What are the chances of seeing cheap bulk gunpowder out of China? Or wherever...

    We are working on a couple sources. But the downturn should free up US supply, so we'll see

    I would be very interested in this. Bulk pistol bullets would also be welcome.

    If it weren't for the powder shortage, the projectiles would go over better. Lots of people need cheap plated or jacketed (pistol) bullets

    I would take Chinese (or other) powder if the price was right, even if the usual brands from US suppliers were readily available.

    And if there was reliable data for reloading with Chinese powder is also a concern. I don't know what they load the Norinco 5.56 with, but that powder has to be pretty snappy.

    If you can get a WSF knockoff I'll grab a keg.
    Just cause you don't understand what's going on don't mean it don't make no sense.

    And just cause you don't like it, don't mean it ain't no good.
