Raise the price and perform less to suit a few. I see the Underwood offerings aren't out of stock like in the past. These changes open the door for another like how Underwood stepped into the scene.

I honestly don't think Kevin is suiting anyone. I think he is taking in the feedback he has been receiving and modifying his product accordingly. He probably is doing this mostly for liability reasons. Of course, you know him better than I do so you may find out something different.

As far as raising his prices, yeah, I think that is BS. It was predicted over on Glocktalk a while back that he would do that. My good buddy Pacapcop will send me another email showing the rising costs of components when he reads this, which I agree with to a point. But I also think Kevin sees $$ signs with the growing popularity of his company. And he is a businessman after all. That having been said, I believe us 10mikemike customers are what brought Underwood Ammo it's popularity initially, so I do think Kevin could go easy on the 10mm prices.  8)

  PBR if they ever get enough components will be the new best alternative and from the looks of it possibly the strongest as well.
   I only have what I purchase to test for everyone else in heavy ammo. My stash has been sold off and not likely to return. I like to shoot enough rounds that even Underwood has priced themselves out of my quantity buying. This year has been a shift to seeing more of what is in the pull-downs so I can gear up for doing my own reloading. After the move I plan on rolling my own!

Yes component pricing has changed due to the high demand and supply shortages (real just being snapped up as fast as it is made and placed on the shelves)!

Things seem to be slowing down somewhat, but things are flying off the shelves steadily... ???
The way things are going I may have to use my old Accurate Arms #7 and #9 to load stuff.  I've already use the IMR4227 and H-110 and most all my 296, I finished off the jug of IMR4831 from many years back...  Trying to find new supplies to replace my future needs has proved a challenge but I am patient when it comes to purchases, I like saving money or getting a deal!  I'm always looking to see what may be sold locally.

IC, how far are you moving?

Bigger house? Getting ready for little Intercoolers?  8)

    Empty nest  ;D I'm looking to move to a better spot with separation. Something with a decent split of driving for us instead of me 15 minutes and her 1 hour. The adjacent Cities including our own has gotten really bad the last 5 years. Just yesterday I took a photo outside of a Home Depot with four DE State Troopers parked in front (robbery). Two weeks ago I snapped a picture in front of Walmart with two MD State Troopers (shoplifter duo) and have been filling up my phone with the craziness.   
     Not really looking for anything much bigger. We are the kind of people that 1500 SF with some space all on one level is perfect  :D I work for the Railroad and my plans are to take full advantage of my travel pass seeing the Country in the next 20 years. When we retire (please bless us with good health) home will just be a place to stop in every so often.

Looks like the neighborhood is going down hill. You must live on the border of MD and DE?

Intercooler

Yup. I hear about less stuff going on in DE and PA. It's hard for a week to pass by here without a robbery, home invasion, etc... At one point about a year ago bank robberies were almost a daily thing. We are talking in broad daylight during the busiest hours too  :o

Wow...not cool.

No matter where you go there will be criminals, some places less frequency of occurrences, Thanks "O" Bummer!
For us Hurricane Katrina move many around and an influx settled in my area, yes the criminals along as well.

For years my area was fairly quite, now with this current economy, lack of jobs and rising cost, crimes are on the rising as well too!  Yes bank and bigger armed robberies are on the rise.  Gangs, Drugs, are fueling a lot of activity, but even young kids doing home invasions, because mommies & daddies can't afford, a gamestation, smartphone, computers or other popular stuff they are breaking into vehicles and homes.  Gang initiations are such, that to be a member, they have to steal a car, rape someone, and even murder.  Our law enforcement is proactive on a lot of stuff here so that's a plus...

However in the words of The Shadow..."The weed of crime, bears bitter fruit."
