Supplies easing up

[rwsmith]

No gunpowder to be seen

Cast bullets are great, just got an order in from Missouri and Penn about 4 weeks ahead of expected

Brand name bullets seem to be scarce as ever.

I could find primers in the quantities I needed, but they seem to be hard to find now.

Ammo is much better, but the price is much higher at the lgs.
I'll have to check out other places like Walmart.

Brass - seems high when you can find it.

Reloading dies - better than it was.

I have notice the frequency of primers and powder showing up has increased. Bullets seem to be as off as ever, and Hornady prioritizing is going to affect some favorites not being on the shelf for awhile

Our local Big 5 has started carrying primers & had a bunch last time I looked. At $47.00-ish/1K no wonder they're in stock!

Starting to see brass .223 cases at the range again.

Local shelves have been bare most of the year so far.

There are bullets to be had, and powder is also showing up via mail order (Brownell's, MidSouth, Powder Valley, etc). Primers are showing up too (Brownells, Powder Valley). Primers are around $28-$29 a 1000 box, but you need to craft the order so the sting of the $25 to $27.50 hazardous materials fee is acceptable.

You need to be watching gunbot (not perfect by OK on powders and brass). And the daily in-stock reloading thread here, then jump when someone gets what you want. Even check when someone gets something close to what you want, as not everything is reported. For example, someone reported one vendor had some Winchester rifle primers, and when I looked they also had pistol primers, which I needed. Also, many sites let you put email notifications on products for when they are back in stock. (However, I gave up doing that on Midway, as even when I jumped when the email came in, the product was usually gone).

I was in Graf's in Mexico MO (they also have a website) last Thursday and they had plenty of primers at $29.95. A pretty good stock of jacketed bullets except for the 55 gr Nosler BT I was looking for. They had #8 shot Lawrence brand, at $42 a bag. A fair stock of powder but no E3.
