Are you aware of that the Department of Defense (DOD) has stopped selling one time used brass unless it is shredded, and not used for reloading. This one action will cause the price of ALL ammunition to skyrocket. This is taking millions of rounds of brass out of the market that was used by manufactures to reload. Economically, This causes a domino effect on ammo prices, supply and demand, that impacts the price of ALL manufactured ammo. Example, Georgia Arms. see the link below for a detailed explanation of the impact. If the Obama admin cannot ban guns, apparently, they have decided to go after the ammo and price it beyond the reach of the average income shooter. No ammo, the gun/rifle is useless. This was discussed on Gun Talk, Sunday, March 15. I am contacting my congressmen. That is the only way to reverse this decision.
