I suspect you're right.If I had to guess, I'd say most people will ignore foreign affairs and pursue their private interests. Rather than make a symbolic sacrifice that will have no practical punitive effect against Russia.
Would you stop buying gasoline for your car if you thought some of it came from Russian oil? Not even Pres. Biden will do that. His sanctions against Russia do not include oil. Which is Russia's largest export and source of money. But the politics and finances of the energy industry are fragile enough that this form of punishing Russia won't be used. At least as announced to date.
I will abstain from voting because I'm not buying anymore anything from anywhere.
I heard Palmetto State Armory is going to start manufacturing steel case ammo hear in the States. I wonder if they will be making 6.5G?Well. Seeing as the current only game in town for 6.5 Grendel ammo other than American made; is Barnaul (Wolf); I don't know.
Probably not. Hard to compete with Wolf for prices currently. Huge jump from $0.70 /rd cheapest to $1.70/rd Hornady brass.I heard Palmetto State Armory is going to start manufacturing steel case ammo hear in the States. I wonder if they will be making 6.5G?
Edit: Doesn't look like 6.5G is on their list.
PSA Tooling Up For Domestic Steel-Cased Ammo Production
Just in time for the Russian ammo ban Palmetto State Armory has announced that they plan to be producing steel-cased Soviet calibers by 2023.www.google.com
PPU is an option but still higher than wolf and sold out everywhere.Probably not. Hard to compete with Wolf for prices currently. Huge jump from $0.70 /rd cheapest to $1.70/rd Hornady brass.
But Ammoseek doesn't list any PPU in stock; so thats out. No Hornady Frontier FMJ 6.5 Grendel currently in stock. Just Wolf then Fort Scott Munitions (Tumble on Impact SD/hunting) then Hornady (Custom SST or ELD Black) and Federal American Eagle Open Tip Match.PPU is an option but still higher than wolf.
6.5G seems like a reloaders cartridge these days unless a huge pile of that Wolf ammo shows up again. I wish I would have bought more of it during the brownells sales.But Ammoseek doesn't list any PPU in stock; so thats out. No Hornady Frontier FMJ 6.5 Grendel currently in stock. Just Wolf then Fort Scott Munitions (Tumble on Impact SD/hunting) then Hornady (Custom SST or ELD Black) and Federal American Eagle Open Tip Match.
Yeah I snagged 1000 rounds, I wonder what % old blood n guts putin getsAmmo seek shows a lot of Wolf 6.5 Grendel but ranging from $0.70 to $0.99 a round. At that point, one could save money reloading brass.
I paid $19 per box of 20 for Hornady Frontier FMJ a couple years ago. Most expensive 6.5 Grendel was Hornady Custom SST at $38 a box from Sportsman's. Cheapest was $12 a box for Wolf from Target Sports a couple years ago..
When the ban on arms imports from Russia passes congress soon, it's going to skyrocket.Ammo seek shows a lot of Wolf 6.5 Grendel but ranging from $0.70 to $0.99 a round. At that point, one could save money reloading brass.
I don't know who an ammo ban is supposed to hurt. Also, will we be as supportive when China takes over Taiwan? Not talking bullets. Talking everything else made in China.When the ban on arms imports from Russia passes congress soon, it's going to skyrocket.
Whether you actively want to boycott Russia or not (and I'm for that), it will be used by antis to shut down arms and ammo trade further.
