Reloading supplies...

[wayno945]

I was at Dillon's the other day and they didn't seem concerned. Had the normal stock of powder, bullets, and primers. I've been stocking up from Midsouth and SPS, so luckily I should be good for the next year or so.

I posted this on the wrong thread a while ago (undoubtedly a definitive sign of galloping senility). Still, I thought it would be of interest to this thread.

"Here's a fascinating article that just came out: http://cnsnews.com/blog/gregory-gwyn-wi ... just-three. Brownells sold in three hours a volume of PMags equivalent to what would normally be sold in 3.5 years! On the Sinclair International site, a disclaimer is posted at the entry page: "Due to extreme volumes, and winter storms, order shipment may be delayed. Thank you for your patience." Of course, the same disclaimer is posted on Brownells and the Police Store."

I did some phone calling to friends and my sister and so far have come up with 1 lb of H-4350 (my mainstay), IMR 3031, and H-1000. None of this will be needed for several months.

I bought the last brick of LR primers, only had Federal 210's left, and LP primers at the local gun shop on Thursday. A guy walked up right behind me and bought the last three 100 packs of LR, every remaining SR primer and a the remaining six 100 packs of LRMagnum primers. A month ago the shelf was full of Remington, CCI and Federal primers of all ilk.

They must make good stocking stuffers....

Wow..... these stories are amazing to read. I was just at Cabela's in Post Falls Idaho the other day looking for a few x_mas gifts, and two other stores for patches, gun cleaner, 40 S&W ammo and 22 long rifle ammo..... I needed to have something to shoot squirrels and rabbits with if the World ended! Anyway, there was a lot of shoppers buying guns, but there was still a lot of ammo, and hand loading supplies on hand here!

I have always stocked up on brass on any gun I've owned, two hundred pieces is the minimum I ever buy. And 5 lbs. of powder for a developed load in the same lot is always a good thing to have on hand in my opinion. The last time I read about this early this year I did stock up on primers.... this must cause prices to go up if the demand is so high...... which sucks for us!

Walmart had a pond of RL22 and some shotgun primers today.

Same here. Some of the stores are jacking up the prices already on what they have left..

We only have ourselves to blame too.
