Iran war effects on ammo..

Did the dumber than dumb one Bowen make any remarks about his EVs or did the other clowns tell him to keep his mouth shut?

I could just see him coming out spruking about the fuel problems, making his EVs look like a great option.

[Zappa]

I havent been able to resupply my powder reserves since the Americans and Israelis chose to bomb a sovereign a Nation for absolute nothing.

MY LGS and several others i business with, all say the same thing. Leave us your name and phone number and if ADI ever come around to us, we'll let you know. Crickets. They wont take pre payment cause they dont know when they'll get poweder.
It's disgusting. No such thing in the rest of the world.

At least open the import flood gates to allow powder from Asia.

Yes he did, Fester, and he was caned for it.
Unfortunately, we have "leaders" that are lifelong mummy's boy activists, who don't pay for fuel, transport, food or anything else.

We used to be able to have world level disasters, wars lasting 5-20 years, the entire middle east in flames, GFC's, oil crises and total stockmarket collapses without the price of everyday items budging. A tube of toothpaste cost the same at the beginning of the GFC by the end of it.

Now we have pandemics, wars between two ex soviet dumps, middle eastern squabbles and they are used as an excuse to lift the prices of 25.000 line items in supermarkets and everything else, and the billioniares unilaterally double their money. And this is how you know its BS... the price never comes back down once the issue is over.

We are in a new era where any instability= complete flogging for the middle class and doubling net worth for the top guys. And thats literal, almost every billionaire has made bank since covid, ukraina/russia and its taking another steep climb now.

Once upon a time world disasters and GFC's and wars actually used to impact their wealth as well, put a bunch out of business even. Thes eguiys certainly closed that loophole. Any problems in the world now and its one way traffic, our money into their pockets. There are only two options- either these things are constructed scams or they are legitimate but the guys at the top are colluding to conflate markets during them.

So the funny thing is it doesnt matter if you are economist or conspiracy theorist anymore, we are all getting the same f***ing anyway. and none of our kids get to own a house. Sort of amusing that this class robbery unites us all at the cash register.

Russians tried to negotiate. Iranians tried to negotiate. Those in power don't like the terms and so it continues.

[Wapiti]

Tried to negotiate isn't how I'd describe it.
Although in fairness we don't know what was in that proposal because Trump himself hasn't alluded to it except to say they won't abandon their nuclear objectives, and that's what he wants.
We all say, for goodness sake get it over with and stop negotiating with religious insanity that wants world takeover. Smoke them and let the world get on with life.

[mchughcb]

Exactly what i call it. Trump now says he wants the straights free travel just like it was before he was bombing them and thats a win? Doh.

20 year war in Afghanistan and Iraq has changed SFA can cost 6.6 trillions.

Russians and Persians have been civilizations centuries before the USA. They aren't going anywhere. Anybody who thinks Iran was going to nuke anybody is delusional as thinking Trump was going to do the same.

I must have missed it, hard to believe how arrogant and out of touch these corrupt, stupid bottom feeders are.
I did sort of expect it, as the turkey makes Dumb and Dumber look like high-IQ intellectuals.

I heard somewhere that ADI claims to be about to ramp up and get supplies going to fix shortage issues, hear that before.
Looking at sites and prices, I can see another price hike coming, and should do a run down to the RA shop on the coast while fuel is down a bit.
I don't target shoot as much sinse it became rediculouslly exy, but use a bit of 09.
Went to 4KG containers, and then went to having a spare, more to future-proof the price.
I recently cracked the spare, so it's time.

Like target shotty ammo, it's bulky, and my power tools locker is now half full of ammo suplies, so how much can I buy?
It was better when we could just buy bowder and projies a few at a time, and a spare for ron, can't run out.
Projy pricing climbed throug the roof, the primer thing, now locally made powder, it's a joke.
Big cities have an advantage, with big shops buying lots of stocks, but Sydney big shops now just use that agreement, I think the word is collusion.
Magnum sports was not with them so I would gamble on a midday, mid-week run down to the smoke a couple of times a year, never got caught in traffic, touch wood.

If I lived a few hours closer to Brisbane, or in Qld, I reckon I would drive there at least once a year and spend thousands.
We can't even buy a rifle or barrel, as local dealers have the $200 transfer thing to make the deal not so good.
They are all shooting themselves in the foot as business dived before the Bondi knee-jerk thing even happened, it all just sux really, but I expected to see it through, just in the last generation of shooters.

[tuknal]

magnum sport can jam it,they used to be ok
900rd bulk pack 223 blitz kings $2080
cleavers $1429 $651 difference per can ,,yeah cleavers has better buying power im sure but thats f***ing taking the piss

[mickb]

Fellas if you havent figured out all these price hikes for these disasters are total BS, there is no saving us. Im suprised when you have blokes my age, in their 50's or more, aka people who have lived through half a dozen disasters which made no difference to the price of living, now fuilly believe that for any international strife we should be getting reamed within 48 hours.

Stock market crash 86, yugoslavia breakjup, GFC, two different middle eastern wars running almost 20 years etc etc. The price of life barely budged.

Now its pandemic, ukraine/russia, Iran/US, the attack of poison frogs from Mars, and its hold onto your c*cks. Somewhere along the line the once tough,critical thinking, convict bred and savvy Australian public completely lost its ability to reason. Ripe for robbing

It saddens me to say this, as I had dealt with Magnum since their inception, they are overpricing themselves on many items.
Yep, Tuknal I totally agree with you on this.
