I have 8, 8 thousand small pistol primers!! Ha! Ha!
« on: January 30, 2010, 06:01:03 PM »
Where's the Count from Sesame Street when you need 'em...  ;)

Seriously, I have noticed over the past few months that reloading components are easier to acquire. I now have several thousand primers each for small rifle, large pistol and rifle. I have been able to get Titegroup and Ramshot Competition easier too. As for ammo, I noticed that the major/popular pistol calibers are easier to get.

Is everyone else seeing the same? What's going on in your neck of the woods???

Went last month to a place I usually buy from.........had a good supply of bullets, and the prices were close to what they were before the big rush. Not back up to normal on primers, but still a good supply, with inflated prices ($40 a 1000). Powder supply was good for everything but Varget, Titegroup, and IMR 4350. Have not seen IMR 4350 on shelves in a long while (a lot of hunters use it).

I've never had a problem exept with prices going up.

Primers now $25 per k instead of the $15 I was used to.

No problems on powder or bullets.

Biggest PIA is probably brass.

Keep your stocks up, and as Jeff Cooper stated, especially primers.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

I just scored 750 rounds of 115 gr 9mm FMJ Rem UPC at wally world. Seems they're still flying off the shelf these days, only it takes days instead of hours. Cost was $52 per box of 250. WW shelves are typically sparse still. Other stores have a pretty good supply though, still pricey. I have not checked on primers lately, I probably should - after I pay the heating bill.  >:(

 :P

Seriously, though...I went to WalMart to buy groceries last night.  Yeah, groceries.   ::)  It was packed too last night.  I'm guessing a whole bunch of people must have gotten their food stamps since tomorrow is the first of the month.  It's always entertaing to people watch at WalMart.    :-\

Anywhoo...I swung by the glass ammo case.  Nope, no bulk .22LR, no 9mm, just one box of .40, no .45 ACP, no .38 Special.   :(

But, I saw about $400 worth of the Remington green and white box .223 for $9.47 a box of 20, each.    :o :o

I hope the WalMart cleaning people are able to clean the glass good enough where I had my nose pressed up against it.

After streaking up the glass, I just mosey'ed on and bought groceries (sigh).
