FYI WInchester Ammo Recall

I realize we have more people lurking the boards, than actually posting.
Some may be shooters. I would hate to think I had safety info and not pass it along:

We apologize for this inconvenience.

One wonders exactly what type of propellant they used. I haven't shot my 7mm in about 6 yrs so I think I would be all set. Another reason why I like to make my own loads.

whew, thought i was in trouble on this one, but turns out...im a canadian, and not allowed to protect my my belongings, home, or family....thank god for 411...<---is it me, or does this make anyone else sick to their stomachs ??

Yup. You, Brittan, Australia, etc etc the list goes on and on and on.

Don't you just love it when the guberment' knows that your to stupid to think for your self, that they need to install special programs to evenly divide up your money and freedom to those who can't get off their asses and do for them selves?

They just know that they can think better for you than you?
We call them Democrats down here.

Atomm will be moving to our version of Canada soon over in Washington DC.
