That sounds like a reasonable explanation, and the last few sentences summarize the situation pretty accurately I believe.

Apples & Oranges to me, because all the examples are highly processed and/or precision/complex products, this is a basic commodity with minimal processing (with a 7x upcharge), but I get the gist of...

What you've said is currently true (it being more cost effective to process it in china), which I find kind of amazing when you think about it. Taking heavy materials like scrap copper, and then...
Forum: Our Town
And this I feel is more than fair, I'd even pay up to 3 times the scrap price, but 7 times? Not even close to reasonable. I have contacted one company that does copper gutters, and unfortunately I...
Forum: Our Town
Yes, finished goods, I agree, but the cost of materials vs the finished price I feel is Way out of line. Not that I can do anything about it, other than keep trying to find a better source. Possibly...

I am in the market for some 1/8" plate copper that I need in 5/8" strips to used as spacers for a copper coil. I know that pretty much all commodities are way down in the last year or so, including...

Congrats Brian. It's been quite a journey, but you're almost there. Plus, you didn't lower your standards to shorten the turn around time, which has to have been hard, but in the end it was the only...

Excellent! Looks like I'll be next in line for the 3rd and final part of my .22 setup. Can't wait!
I have the issue on one or 2 of my loads that Mtgrs737 mentioned, so I think I'll dial back the Lemi-shine a bit. I have a water softner, so I guess I really don't need to use much of it to get the...
I've been using mine for a couple months, and not sure what the burnishing solution is, I use a small amount of Dawn and some Lemi-shine, which I agree does a fabulous job on them inside and out. I...

Well, it was a heckuva trip, but I made it home safe and sound. 710 miles yesterday and about 250 today. And yes Canada still does have ammo, both 9 and 22's. I saw a shelf of both while I was there,...

Got the form back, in triplicate. Yaay! Planning the trip for the weekend after next. Cabellas will be elated. Just have to find the form I already filled out for the canadian border patrol, and it...

Huh, I was told that I could bring my rifle there, (actually needed to, to get the form that I needed to be able to buy the stuff at the store, otherwise they wouldn't sell it to me without said...
Forum: Cast Boolits
For me to purchase my primers and such up there, I need to have a form filled out, authorizing me to bring in a gun, and with this form I will be allowed to purchase the stuff at Cabellas (if only I...

Well, come on up, you'll get one more chance to experience it, in May, no less. I just watched the Local on the 8's a minute ago, and supposedly we're to get between 1-3 inches on Wed morning....

Man! We hit 80 yesterday, and I thought I was going to melt! Felt really good, though. Of course, 3 days of warm then now we get 5 days of 30's-upper 40's with rain every day. That just wasn't fair,...

Guys, thanks for all the informative replies. I just bought 2 gen 4's so they are the latest design, and hopefully won't have the feed issues the older ones did. I am very glad to read opinions about...

I am slowly getting my setup together, and am now in the mold searching phase. I am looking to cast for a Glock 9mm and a .40, and really need some advice on getting it right the 1st time. Molds are...
Forum: Helping Hands
Hi guys, thought I'd jump in for a sec to pass on an opinion based upon what I've found at work, I do appliance repair for a living. One thing about soap and front loading washers, is that you only...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Well, at least they appear to just now be drying up, they have been a desert here for quite some time now. Hence the road trip, which I really don't mind, since I am going to be doing it on my bike....

Just curious, you mean going into Canada from the US, or going back to the US from Canada? I didn't plan on bringing any ammo with me at all, either way, I just planned on going up there and getting...
