    Triumph of the weird calibers...

    I was looking at Brownells today to buy some other stuff and checked their ammo situation while I was there. Bleak, of course.

    They were all out of WWB handgun ammo in every chambering you could think of... except 9x23Win. They had plenty of that. Hmmm...

    Yes, I did go and see if they had any 9x23 ramped Commander barrels in stock. No joy.
    Books. Bikes. Boomsticks.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    I have plenty of 8x56R ammo for my Stutzen. Things will have to get awfully grim ammo wise for me to bring that thing out of retirement.

    Yup. Then again, things have to be pretty grim, ammo wise, to get me to shoot anything corrosive these days. I remember when I thought cleaning guns was fun...

    I picked up a used G22 simply to be able to run a .357Sig barrel. Last time I checked, still quantities of that around.
