    Default Pistol powder

    I have reached the end my friends. I am now at the point where I have to ask my self, a couple thousand 45 acp or a few thousand 9mm. I will then be out of pistol powder. I see 22lr all over so maybe powder will be next. I can't believe I went through 16 lbs of pistol powder and haven't been able to resupply yet.

    Heck stiff upper lip maybe some powder will fall into my hand. Then again I bet I could shit in my other hand first.

    I have load data from older manuals for a bunch of powder I picked up. Most of it is 45 & 9 compatible, it's my back up powder. If we could figure logistics out I'd comp you a lb or two.

    There's no powder for that either. You know it's short supply , when your lgs calls and ask if you'd be interested in selling them back some of your inventory.

    Well sure, but digging up the sulfur isn't much trouble. Raking manure piles for saltpetre ... that is unpleasant.

    All the mushrooms you get at the same time off sets the unpleasantness.
