Hey all,
Just wanted to share a quick story as a reminder to treat your fellow man decently (especially reloaders during these shortages).
Talked to a guy at the local cabelas, he seemed pretty desperate for some trailboss . I told him that right now I'm not selling anything but I'm willing to trade- that way neither person is paying inflated prices. He took my number and said he'd see what he had to trade.
He messaged me today and asked if I'd be willing to trade a 9oz container of TB for 1000 lr primers. Ummmmm, yeah. I would have done it for half that. In any case, I told him I'd throw in a box of 30-30 factory ammo and some .452" cast bullets to even it up a little.
He was shocked and said everyone he's dealt with wasn't interested in "fair" and just looked out for themselves . I guess I'm not that way and I'm certain I'm still getting the better end of the deal and told him so. He said he's just thankful that I was willing to trade some extra powder because he's been out of TB for 6 months and hasn't had any luck.
Moral of the story is, be decent to each other. Don't skin someone just because you can. If you have something you can spare, help someone out. I believe this type of thing comes back around to you, call it karma or whatever. I've been treated pretty well and I make sure no one ever leaves a dealing with me thinking I'm a stingy or greedy guy. We all need to live in this messed up world together, try to make it a little easier for someone.
Good luck
