I drove down to Expansion Industries in Lynchburg, VA while in Virginia and purchased my powder and some S&B primers. The fella in the red shirt, Bob, is the owner.
Their complete operation is in one room at a small strip mall office complex
* Note that each of the individuals has a laptop in front of them. Presume each works on the Internet orders
* Asked the fella at the rear of the picture, whose powder they were selling: "We buy it from an international laboratory." Is it Maxum? No reply
* I asked why the increase in price from $16 to $18 dollars. Was told because we were loosing money. When I gave the fella in the back my credit card, he put a Square card in his cell phone and swiped my card. Square charges 2.5% for each Credit card transaction. So their increase in price covered each Square fee plus shipping
* I asked the guys to use their bathroom cause I had a full bladder from the drive. Bob, the owner, quickly replied ... "The owners of the office only allow employees to use the restroom" Ya sure ... and no doubt the rest room area is their supply room with empty plastic containers and bulk powder where they repackage it into their powder jugs for sale
* On the wall they had targets for each of the ETR7 calibers list. The target groups were all shot at less than 25 feet
* Under the targets on shelves - they had an ample supply of their powders, primers and ammunition
Overall, the fellas were friendly with the conversation I had with them - said Good Bye and was one my way
On the window of their one room, Suite B office, was listed also... We Buy Gold plus Firearms Permits Issued
