As an aside.
I have heard on very good authority that US brass may well become in short supply.
Apparently manufacturers are solely producing loaded ammunition and not bothering selling brass.
Something to do with the US citizens stockpiling ammo again after a regime change!

Unlikely that US citizens are stockpiling with Trump. They would have with Clinton.

I heard from a local RFD that CCI were doing exactly as suggested; getting their own big wagon and driving round the country delivering to retailers on a semi-fixed route. No idea if it's true or made it past the 'idea' stage, but I like it :)

CCI must do very well in this country in terms of bulk sales, so I wouldn't blame them. You'd think Eley would have something in place too.

And by that, I mean in the UK market share! Everywhere you go you'll see minimag!
I appreciate we are a tiny fraction of their overall sales.

I was hoping to stock up in the new year but I guess it will be worth filling my ammo cabinet after payday...

What is behind it though, why are TNT doing this, is it another stealth move against us , if so who is orchestrating it?
