Gas Checks

[Niederlander]

Gentlemen,  This is probably a stupid question, but why are gas checks out of stock everywhere?  Is there a shortage of aluminum and copper?

[Drydock]

Folks are hoarding. Every reloading component you can think of. I think it's starting to ease up, at least I'm starting to see powder on shelves at the local outfits.  Picked up some Red Dot this weekend.

......have you checked Sage Outfitters? I received 1k .30 cal gator checks from him last week.

[Niederlander]

Checked Sage's for aluminum checks.  Out of stock.

[Drydock]

See? Bob there out hoarded ya.  Like sale day at Wal Mart, gotta move fast or the fat lady with the bent wheel cart will run you over.

[Niederlander]

Then count me as a Walmart casualty!

Just found 30 caliber gas checks $60 per thousand on precision reloading.com never dealt with them but. Don't fight over them boys.

I wonder if there is a YouTube video out there on how to make your own aluminum gas checks from beer cans.  Some how, I see a twisted and convoluted justification for drinking and shooting...just not at the same time.

I believe there's a tool made for that, but, it's probably out of stock, no backorder. Like about anything else related to reloading.

[Niederlander]

There is, and it is.

I know there used to be, looked like a lot of work to me.

Somewhere in someone's Mommies basement it a bunch of gas checks, toilet paper, 22 Long Rifles and what ever else they horded they didn't need, likely Beanie Babies and Cabbage Patch Dolls also.   Myself it's a reasonable amount of coffee, of several types maybe 10-12 pounds in 1/4 pound vacuum sealed bags.   In ahouse with one coffee drinker that makes it 1 cup at a time it will keep me going, probably buy a couple more pounds on Friday.
