How far from the nearest Cabellas are you? It will go on sale there again for $20 when it does I will let you know if you can get to one. I think I will get a head start notice from a friend.

The price of gasoline is going to kill us, hopefully only for a short while - but if it goes throught the summer I am in real trouble.

I usually go back the work for the Forest Service in the summer, some way they think that I have a lot of experiance and think I am a good hire but their budgets are so slashed this year I do not think that will happen, so I might have to fall back on carpentry or cabinet building in my shop for some supplemental income.

I forget the IMR number at the moment but they make a smokeless powder just like BH, hollow grains of powder, and it sales for $21 a POUND... so the structural manufacturing process is not the reason for the cost. General Dymanics of Canada makes the powder. IIRC IMR/Hodgdon was going to make it but they turned it down and General Dynamics picked it up.
