Taking a break from social media.
Wait, so now you guys are saying I *don't* need to buy ammo!?
I doubt anyone would say that, its just the mindset while doing it that matters. Having the smug self satisfied feeling of having beat the panicking hoards has to be replaced with the smug self satisfied feeling of being wisely prepared so panics don't affect you much.

ATF is officially delaying any changes on nitrocellulose: https://www.atf.gov/file/109341/download
Thanks for the actual information.
Shocked face over here.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
After reading all that stuff and seeing it was a couple months old I decided I didn't need to buy any more ammo, then I remembered the election is coming up and I needed to buy more ammo. So I bought it.
A delay does not mean all clear.

Nitrocellulose
- Update
ATF’s June 2016 Explosives Industry Newsletter included a brief discussion of Nitrocellulose,
and attempted to clarify the circumstances under which wetted Nitrocellulose is considered a
high explosive under 27 CFR, Part 555. As with all explosives, ATF’s
focus is on the potential public safety risks associated with materials that can be misused or diverted to unlawful
purposes. Subsequent contact from industry members who import, transport, store or employ
wetted Nitrocellulose in the production of ammunition, however, has brought to our attention
issues that were not fully addressed in the Newsletter and require further consultation and
consideration with the industry. Accordingly, ATF has and will conduct further industry
outreach concerning wetted Nitrocellulose. In the interim, previously authorized industry
practices concerning wetted Nitrocellulose will not be affected.
It does as far as there can ever be "all clear" when dealing with regulatory agencies. If they choose to revisit, we'll fight, but until that happens, this is the best possible solution.
