homebrewerReloading components...
I have been out of the loop for a while. Is it any easier to buy reloadin' components now than it was two months ago?

kennedyI think its still the same as it was 2 months ago, atleast where I am. No powders here at my local store but he did have some primers. Only 1000 of large and small primers. So I bought what was allowed 2 items. 200 primers. Probuly gone by now , this was yesterday.

michael.txIt's definately getting better with the web companies. I got a couple bricks of 210m's this week, and Bullseye for the first time in about a year. In about the last month I've seen primers from fed, win, cci, wolf, and remington kicking around. Locally I've just about given up other than Cabela's, they have powder but not most of the really popular stuff, although they get it in now, it's just gone really quickly.

homebrewerI went into the monster Scheel's in Reno today, several hours after I made the above post. They were out of many bullet styles for .30 and .22 caliber, had a goodly selection of powders but zilcho on the primers. Situation still hopeless but not serious...
I've been ordering my bullets and primers from
GRAFS.
They may be out, however they will let you place a order and fill it when they have supplies. Plus they pay shipping, and I like that! Most powders I have been able to find with a little searching locally!

I've seen little change up here with component availability; no primers, however all the powder you need. I order bullets by mail, from Natchez, and Sinclair.
Brass seems to be available at all times from Huntingtons.com, if not from other sources.

fredj338Primers remaing the biggest problem. I would place an order w/ Graf's or another major that accepts B.O. & wait. Order at least 5K for best price & so you don't have to order again. Ask which primers are mosta available & order those (Federal are almost impossible to get).

Borealis BobIt's really hit 'n miss around Chicago.
Beaucoup 209 primers everywhere, but anything else is still scarce.
I did luck out two weeks ago as I went to a shop for some rings on the same day they got a shipment of primers. Got a brick of Winchester LR...could have bought more but no sense in getting more than I need. The also got in a powder shipment and I picked up a few pounds of a powder that had been eluding me for months.
No doubt in my mind, though, that the shelves were bare by the next morning.

BlacktailerI was at the local Wmart recently and asked the guy at the sports dept if I could buy a brick of 22LR. He looked at me like I was from the moon. Said they didin't have any and didn't know when they would. I guess we're all still stocking up for the coming revolution.

homebrewerConspiracy theory: Boogabama has leaned on the primer manufacturers to cut production so only the military has 'em and thusly freeze out the shootin' public so as to render out guns inert. I would not put it past this illegitimately-born, Marxist idiot...
