Federal cracking down

[.45fan]

A few years ago, I was headed South on I-85 in Northern Georgia. There are several miles of long rolling hills and valleys along that stretch. I was in the left lane behind a little tiny car, like a Ford Fiesta or something, doing a pretty good clip. We came alongside a truck that we were passing JUST as we reached the start of one of those long hillclimbs. The truck had been approaching the truck ahead of it at about 1/4 m.p.h. and didn't want to lose his momentum. So, he starts dangerously swerving side to side, the trailer coming over 2 or 3 feet into our lane, forcing us over onto the thin shoulder on the left (there was no emergency lane on that side of the road). We managed to slow down and keep our cars from wrecking, and the truck moved over to try and pass the truck he had just caught up with. Well, he couldn't do that because of the hill, slowed to about 45 m.p.h. and held us up for over a mile. I always said that if I had been carrying, I would have shot at him when I finally got up beside him, or at least put a couple of holes in the side of his truck! That is one time I am GLAD I wasn't carrying! I was hot!

Yeah that bastard, how dare he hold you up for a WHOLE mile. He should just continue living in his truck for days or weeks and delivering EVERYTHING you have ever owned. How rude of him.

I appreciate the guys who take their profession seriously, obey all traffic laws and display courtesy on the road, but that guy shouldn't be behind the wheel! He makes all truck drivers look bad.

The thing is, WE WERE ALREADY BESIDE HIM AND PASSING HIM! What he did could have easily turned into an accident with multiple fatalities! It was even raining a little and the road was wet. AND YOU ARE DEFENDING HIM! :32: I'm gonna shut up now, before I go nuclear! :53::33::86::59:

true but we have roles of importance too, truck driver delivers goods but without a diesel mechanic, warehouse manager, dock workers, machine operators, office managers, IT workers, etc. etc., there would be no goods on the truck. we all need each other yet we all are against each other that is the problem with the world today.

If you're not stuck on Federal SGAmmo has Winchester Ranger LE SXT which I've heard is similar . If you look here http://gun-deals.com/index.php near the top of the page there's a link to a list of discounts being offered by SGAmmo on some of this.

By the way, Kyle's Gun Shop found another supplier for his Federal ammo that doesn't care who he sells it to, so it is back on the website.

Not exactly the correct wording. The Distributor has x amount of Fed Tac ammo. He can either sell it to your local PD or he can sell it to Kyle, me, S&G or whomever at a higher price.

This works out good for you but payday will come around. The next thing you know LE Agencies are two years back ordered for ammo that you can buy every day.

They start complaining to the Factory then Federal, Winchester or who ever goes to the Distributors and cracks their whips. A few places get cut off, balance is restored and everyone is happy again except you.

The back orders get filled and the Distributors have Fed Tac ammo sitting around so they want to convert it back into cash so they sell it to Kyle and the circle starts again.
