interesting opinion John;
personally - i think thats an apple and oranges comparison
the birds are not a manufactured commodity, i respect the natural resource, powder is commercially produced to be burned in guns.
i have managed to scrounge up some of the discontinued 7625 locally lately - once I have what I think I need and will actually use in a reasonable time period , if I find more, I will offer here to pick it up for others. Because its no longer made.
For common still made powders, I get what I need for a while and will take my chances when I need more.
everyone to their own- I consider hoarding to be an act of accumulating more than you ever need or things that you don't need at all. (we can ask Dean's wife for her definition
)
