Will this current virus situation have a substantial impact on the price of TSS shot for reloading down the road? Just curious of what others think on this
Most of that material has a chinese origin, same goes for many other things we are not even aware of ,like perscription antibiotics, ingredients that make Diet Coke , the list goes on and on , the severe disruption in labor in parts of china that has been going on for weeks will delay many items ,clothing for retail stores etc...they did have one stroke of good luck and that is the chinese new year was right at the peak of the crisis
You didn't ask , but I feel its a good time to politely bring up that ,I (more like attorney)does not allow folks to openly sell reloading components anywhere on the site .... the reasons are widely known and I dont wish to bring up water that has passed under the bridge ...years ago....that's just.selling not talking about it , and that everyone is fine with so long as we dont openly distribute reloading formulas
Some of you may not know that making money is not a crime here , this is America home of the free .... Apex ,federal, Nitro and several more companies have waded into the tss business, I see nothing wrong with it so long as they are responsible in thier advertisements, the up side is that folks that had ZERO reloading experience and were wanting to get into the tss thing can now purchase safe ammo.
Aliexpress or alibaba online have good prices es DIRECT ,hollar at Sam from Gooserbat has the hookup without the hassle Plus several more folks that are widely known ....if someone asks about where to get it PLEASE DO IT IN PRIVATE MESSAGES ...the mere mention of the following individuals is the one and only time I'll ever bring it up ...if you are in doubt of your reloading skill or lack of ...I STRONGLY recommend you research it more via youtube , talk to a few names mentioned ...or just simply buy it whole from a manufacturer
but anyways the peoples republic of china is acting all weird.like a drowning man reaching for a near limb they have started the blame game on the virus , same as some others , if there is something you need i suggest you STOCK UP
Its going to be a rough next few weeks , we are in a state of emergency, this virus looks to be handled by steady hands like our president Donald Trump , who I feel is like a divine gift from GOD , if we stick together ,help each other out like tough times in our country's history we will get through this ...I predict this could get bad for months on end
Hang tight --Shannon
I bought 5lbs a couple weeks back, 42$ lb shipped which is the best price I have paid for it since I starting loading it.
Something is going to change drastically after all this shakes out I would imagine. I expected high prices on shot this year already.
I agree with Shannon , and i have stock of TSS shells , BUT .. i was killing turkeys with lead way before TSS came along. I'm still using my old stock before i start using my TSS , i do use it in my 410's. It's like we are going to have to weather the storm.
Amen Shannon. We will prevail.
I have enough to last 2 lifetimes. They can do what they want now.
I.am seeing a serious run on reloading components for centerfire and pistol already. I don't load tss yet but will be at some point when my federal factory inventory dries up. This is a repeat of what we went thru post Obama election. It normalized eventually and I stocked up "forever"on primers and powders at heavily discounted prices once the shelves were overstocked and the demand dried up.
I have enough federal hw 7 in 10 gauge to last ...get this 50 spring seasons in Florida , shoots good , shots straight ...I'm not changing a thing
I'm thinking there is going to be some serious repercussions internationally pointed at china , they are already threatening to cut off shipments of antibiotics...but rest assured when the smoke clears there is going to be some blame game going on
Not the first time there has been a viral breakout from that area, what's done is done , this had better be the last time this ever happens
