    I wonder what message it would send if just 1/4 of all gun owners were to go and buy 1 box.[:D]

    buying and selling ammo is like buying meat. when you have a cookout, your go to the store and buy fresh meat to get the best flavor. if you buy and it sits it becomes old meat, it just doesnt taste or look good as the new stuff. so now, i have so much ammo, odds are, it will go bad before a get around to shooting it. ive concluded, its a scam to get you to spend money foolishly. remember the primer scare years ago? well, now i have a couple 100 thousand small and large, rifle and pistol primers still nos/mib sitting on shelves and i'll NEVER load that much ever again...but by golly, those companies have my cash now dont they? i fell for it once, not again.[;)]

    Red223 - If you go to the website you linked and look down on the left side, there is a link called "Who is behind this?" under Contact Info.
