Who or whom actually owns outdoor life?
Good article and it explains a lot!
I am still wondering about the Expansion Industries primers that are supposed to be being made in Hooks Texas!
I have seen that article and it is a good one. Explains a lot of what is going on.

Death to every foe and traitor and hurrah, my boys, for freedom !
Good article.
If you are going to make a hole in something. MAKE IT A BIG ONE!
An older man that used to be pretty big at the old D&Z ammo plant where they are supposed to locate said they aren't getting a good start. Maybe a lack of funds?
I agree. Not exactly encouraging to the average primer-hunter.
It did make me start wondering. Some guys buy one hundred primers at a time and some buy 10,000. Every primer is packed in its own little hole for safety. When I started reloading they’d put ten primers in each flat cardboard slot, side by side, with 10 slots per box.
I wonder if primers sold to ammo manufacturers are in boxes of 100 or plastic sheets of a thousand or more.
