Sometimes you need an off-road vehicle around this place. The thread below has a bunch of good info on IH Scouts and Jeeps. It only looks like it’s a thread about the gun powder manufacturing industry.
Hodgdon acquires Accurate and Ramshot
Looks like Hodgdon bought Accurate and Ramshot powders. Will be interesting to see what changes come to the manufacturing location for Accurate powders. Will also be interested to see what powders disappear...

accurate has this stuff called 4100 that nobody was even looking at during the last shortage.
it's also called Enforcer when it's in the same bottle with the different label.
before that it was called [commercial] C-1480 and come in 35 pound fiber drums.
those same fiber drums would hold 12,000 loaded rounds of 9mm.
if you retained the big thick black bag the powder come in, the ammo was pretty well protected even in slightly damp conditions.
it requires slightly over 180 lbs of alloy to cast enough 130gr. bullets for that many rounds of ammo.
it also takes a hair over a full 8lb. jug of bulls-eye or red-dot if you use just over 3grs of powder per round.
4100 uses almost 1/2gr. less than 2400 does, to do the same thing.
[as in same speed and same pressure]
Isky still makes Cam's for International's.
and you gotta order headers from Stan's headers now.
you used to be able to get 4 barrel intake manifolds for a 304 from get u'm up scout out of Colorado, but they're closed now.
which sucks mainly because they had just about anything NOS for the scout-II's and several NOS parts for the 80's and 800's.

My 68 Scout with 394 CID (?) and four barrel would go through both 10 gallon saddle tanks in less than 200 miles. In low gear low range and the hand throdal pulled out a hair, you could walk beside it while pulling a harrow.
@JustJim thanks, even lgs didn't have any brass. Not my problem so I'll let SIL worry. Nobody in town has any 410 stuff - well couple slugs! With the monsoons we've benn having, snakes are about. Plan gong to the ranch this weekend, take the 20ga ammo. Got some 40 shot shells. He got the UTV delivered so probably just ride around and maybe hit some clays. Property next door has a pond that drains into SIL's creek which WILL be overflowing.

It is not my place to tell other folks what and what not to buy. I will say--if folks keep paying astronomical prices for ammo and components, sellers will continue charging those astronomical prices. If shooters and reloaders could discipline themselves to NOT BUY ANYTHING SHOOTING-RELATED for the month of June, the supply chain might get caught up--the flippers might get reasonable--and normalcy might just return. It's worth a try. QUIT FEEDING THE VARMINTS.
