Goex, back in business

[Gordoncourtney]

With difficult times you have to think outside the box and low and behold I got some plastic caps. A 100 for like $5 your money they come via eBay and are for kids blank firing guns ,and other toys they are a bit smaller so a thin nipple is needed or modified. And yes they make a big bank.

50 Cases????

What was he stocking up for

I couldn't use that much if I went shooting once per week for the rest of my life

You sure it wasn't 50 CANS?

Someone said he was a distributor, so 50 cases I guess makes sense

Man, a fire at his house would have knocked the Moon out of orbit!

Can't wait to see that guy at our local gun show selling plastic bottles of GOEX for $50/lb. and telling every who complains "They dont make this stuff anymore" - I got some news for ya buddy!!
Besides the fact that ALL his ammo was grossly Overpriced...which is why I bought my GOEX from the old guy in the corner for $25/lb. and my other from a guy at the next table for $35/box of 50 (still over price as it was $19 for 50 before the Virus...but still better the $80 for 50 the con guy wanted!)

Would depend on just what you were shooting wouldn't it, a 24 lb cannon would go through a bit more powder than a .40 caliber flintlock might.

Right next to the Jukar Hawken that was attributed to Daniel Boone and the Italian brass framed .44 Navy that was carried by Jeff Davis himself!

I dont see where that makes a difference being not one company making the unmentionable powder went out of business and you still cant get most powders. the problems is 70-80 year old hoarders

The 70-80 year old hoarders? You mean the ones who had the foresight to stock up on critical components like powder and caps? I can't help it if the young bucks can't see past today. You say hoarders like it a bad thing. The huge difference is experiences in life.

Define hoarder.

 

[FishDFly]

Hoarders have life experiences, i.e., not born yesterday..

 

[William Hagewood]

Wonder if that includes Goex Old Eynsford?

No, it's supply and demand. Due to the shortage of factory ammo, many shooters are switching to reloading. Every time a anti-gun administration is in office, sales of guns goes up. Along with it, the purchase of a ammo. The ammo plants can only produce so much. When people find scarce ammo, they grab it up, even at inflated prices. Powder, and especially primers, are a scarce commodity for the foreseeable future. If it's on the shelf, you better act quickly, or it's gone. This kind of makes everyone a hoarder.
I bought powder and primers in between the Obama and Biden admins when the prices were normal, and supply was no issue. I knew it would happen again. It was just a matter of time. I was in the Boy Scouts. Be prepared!

I think people buying more than they are going to use in a reasonable period of time is a solution to a problem, and also a cause of the same problem.

 

[APG]

You can never have too much/many powder, lead, percussion caps, musket caps, flints, rifles, pistols, muskets......But that guy was pretty close in the powder department.

 

[SPQR70AD]

Define hoarder.

look in the mirror

 

[jarentz]

I wish i would have hoarded more than i did! I would not be looking @
today's prices.
