So recently I had seen and commented on a post by Eagle Firearms Ltd. ("Your Firearms Retailer in Tisdale!") where they had been informing customers that they would be limiting powder and primmer sales to 2000 primers, and 2 pounds of powder by charging a premium to large orders and actually claiming they have "the RIGHT to limit quantities to better serve customers".
I'm not sure what happened to the original post and I cannot find it, but they have a banner on their web page still. Am I alone in feeling like this is offside? I tend to try and buy in bulk for several reasons.
1. I'm buying large quantities of reloading components that are from the same lot. I purposely do this so i limit the amount of variation in components from different lots. When i got into reloading years ago it was taught to me that powders and primers can vary from lot to lot and for the sake of consistency it's best to buy large quantities of components of the same lots. We are chasing consistency after all... Ideally, an 8-pound jug of powder and 1000ish primers and I'm good for a season of target shooting.
2. I also tend to buy in bulk to save some money, as historically the more ya buy the more ya save..... It is kinda like the whole business model of shopping at Costco.
I have been trying my hardest lately to put my money to work where I can. By this I mean, spending money locally even when it may cost a few bucks more, avoiding buying products made in China, and I have stopped spending my money at businesses that do not line up with my beliefs. I think ill wait for my local gun shop to get my powder in before i support businesses like this that don't support us.
Anyway, am I alone in feeling disappointed that not only is our government, trying to make a mess of our firearm culture in Canada
but now our dealers are as well?
