what supplies do yall find it hardest to find right now.

Those with good prices! lol

I haven't had much trouble finding what I need lately, although I haven't been buying much I keep tabs on how much my stuff costs. Only thing I've found missing is low prices.

I haven't had trouble getting anything...they are just expensive! I just started reloading about a year ago and I can still see a massive price jump! Must be a real shocker to those old folks!

It seems as though Primers are in forum talk a lot lately.
If the internet suppliers are out, I take it as a bad sign.

What good is powder if you have no primers?


As far as the prices go, you have to roll with it.

None at all.....I've been able to find everything I have wanted.

Federal rifle primers and 204 Ruger everything (finally got to order 204 bullets from Midsouth)

Cheap supplies are hard to find, but the deal can still be found if you don't need it right now.

For me it's just been a few select powders in 8 pound jugs.

I've got all the primers I'll need and they'll last a long time.

Federal 210M and 205M primers, and the regular non-match ones too. There just aren't any available around here.

About the only thing I haven't been able to find on any e-tailer is competition Forster die set in 6.5-284. Everybody's out of stock.

I second the comments about prices.

They are especially high for supplies for shotshell reloading, with shot and primers being the highest. A 25 pound bag of shot now costs $42 or more. I can remember buying shot for $13 per bag. Shotshell primers -- Winchester 209 -- are now about $34 per thousand. I can remember when they were $18 or less.

i bought some primers last week CCI-250 for $4.00 per 100, our powder is about $25.00 per pound, primers are getting the hardest to get around here.

Yep, primers. Specifically for me the Fed 210 and 215 match primers. I can usually find the regular 210s and 215s no problem.

Ken....

I am 5 miles from the PA border and small gun shops in the Gettysburg area and west of there seem to have a wide variety of primers and powders. I do get hard to find items bu mail from T&T as they help me out by paying the hazmat fee for most orders.

Us old folks are smarter and wiser that why we stocked up when 209 primers where $15 a 1000 shot $40 per 100 R&P primers $10 per 1000, and assorted bullets from $5 to $12 per 100, hell i'm still shooting out of a 50 lb keg of 4831 that was .45 a lb shipped.

(a 50 LB Keg?)

Be-aware if anyone comes over for coffee carrying two cans with them.

Filler up please.

It's not bad here in UT now but last winter small rifle primers were non existant anywhere you looked. I finally caught them being stocked on the shelf at Sportsmans Warehouse and bought 2,000. With the price increases I should have bought 10,000 DW

Remington brass from Natches...out of stock for more than six months now

50 cal surplus stuff is damn tough
