J.D. Daily Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The demand for copper is about to increase if those unable to afford higher gas prices follow BRANDON's advice today. He says buying an EV will save an average of $800-1000 annually. He didn't mention that that the principal & interest cost for the higher cost of an EV more than wipes out any fuel savings.

Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The emissions produced in making a Battery for an EV ( small Car ) produce more CO2 than driving a Chevy Cruze for 8 years 12,000 miles per year .

Jabez Cowboy I love the fact that you picked up on the “Brandon” reference considering you’re in the great white north. I guess “Let’s go Brandon” has gone international.

I'm not buying into the "we've added extra lines and are turning out ammo 24/7, more than we've ever made before" line. Yep. This is the Hodgdon line. But, they are dependent upon ADI in Australia for much of their product line, and ADI has production issues of its own. No Trail Boss at all this year. If this is the case, where is it going? Not to the big box stores. Not to internet vendors. Not to local gun shops. I see Accurate 5744 has somewhat become available... at an astronomical price. $40 per pound, plus hazmat, plus shipping. I watch several times daily for Shooter's World Buffalo Rifle (AA5744 when produced by Lovex). None to be found anywhere. I bought the last 1# jug from PowderValley at the same time I got their last 8# tub of N133. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
