Gil,

I stopped by my local shop this morning and ALL the shelves are groainng under the weight of primers, powder, bullets and ammo. My local shop is a busy place and is well-stocked. Bring your truck and load up.

Adam

You are fortunate to have ample reloading supplies available. I would guess that when word gets out the shelves may look a bit different. All the best...

Adam,
I just may have to gas up the Silverado and head north to you. We are definetly not having the same problem down here in the Southern Counties. Shelves are and have been anything but heavy for a while. I just talked with a buddy that was at Bass Pro in Harrisburg this weekend, Not a primer or grain of powder to be had!!! And by the way, .270 Winchester ammo was $48.00 a box!

Reloading items

I was at Shyda's a week or so ago and they had a pretty fair supply of stuff although a bit pricey. They were limiting quantities though if i remember correctly. I was at a wholesale place north of there and they had stuff flying out of the place. I only got 45000 primers of the 100,000 I had ordered. Did get most of the other stuff though. Powder(in 1 pounders) was somewhat spotty but available in 8 lb containers. Shotshell stuff is in pretty good supply.

With that many primers you could probably help the North Koreans put a satelite in orbit

North Koreans??

Hope that the satellite they put up gets shot downI really don't trust them or the Iranians..that's why I want so many primers. Just in case they invade. Nobama is inviting them to do so. Actually I sell reloading components etc. Just as a small way to pay for my shooting...well part of it anyway.

Skeet,
You were at Shydas? Heck of a drive from Wyoming I try to shop at a Mom and Pop shop that has always treated me right. I venture to Shyda's when I absolutely have to.
