Go ahead and buy all that you want. I don’t think we need to worry about being gouged by imports.

I’ll stick to loading my own and buying non-boutique ammo.

All other sources of powder are foreign imports from Canada, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, and several other nations. Some talk about White River getting into powder manufacture, but that is just talk.
