At $20/lb and is the equivalent of Titewad, it was a no brainer. I thank you.

Now working on some International Clays. If you love to shoot then never pass up gunpowder at a reasonable price. Just saying.

Problem is cost and availability of 2 1/2” 16 and 20 ga shells

If you must shoot 2 1/2” 16 and 20g shells, you can always cut down 2 3/4” hulls. There are always plenty of 20g empties on the range and when guys toss 16g hulls they are usually 2 3/4”.

Recent news on antimony from a mining company that’s currently developing some of its sites (I shortened some of the content):

> President Trump’s tariff orders, issued under emergency authority to counter what the White House describes as "large and persistent" trade deficits, introduces broad-based import duties with significantly higher country-specific rates. However, Section 3(b) of the order clarifies that certain critical minerals to include antimony are too essential to be imposed a tariff. This exemption status highlights the critical nature of antimony given its importance to multiple applications including renewable energy and the defense sector.

> Despite significant domestic demand, the U.S. currently produces no antimony, relying entirely on imports, primarily from China, Russia, Tajikistan, and other foreign sources. The continued exemption of antimony from U.S. tariffs underpins the urgency of securing stable, non-Chinese supply. And it affirms the development of critical mineral assets in trusted jurisdictions and to build robust, transparent and secure domestic supply chains for metalloids like antimony.

Looks like one should play the market with Miltary Metals a penny stock


Just saying.
