The Reloading Component Draught, When Will It Rain Again.

[abj]

Rick, How do ya'll sneak up on anything, I think I'm wider than those power poles. Sure do love my trees and mtns. here in N GA.
In the woods I know what 100 yds is, in your pic????????

I dunno, I live where I do largely because of the trees. If the trees weren't here I wouldn't be either. I'm certainly wider than those poles these days but a large part of my life I could have hidden behind one.

As probably most of us I have a supply on hand, but that only last if I'm not shooting.

What are your thoughts on when will the supply river start flowing again?

Buy lots when it does is all I can tell you .

That would hold all the rain we've had this year.

100 yd is just shy of 3/5 the distance between poles or just over ....... Snow markers are at 528' and I think transmission and tele poles are also . If not they're 264' . Except at line changes , curves , or peaks that elevation requirements need different spacing .

To answer Loren's question...It's raining a bit now.
Go check out Grafs.
They got some powder in...

 

[Loren]

A small sprinkle, but every little bit helps. Thanks for the heads up!

I just want 200 small pistol primers and I am not paying a dollar each.

I bought a pound of Unique at my LGS today for $37.29 + tax. He had gotten a bit of powder and said primers would be in next week. But when I had gotten my breath back he said only shotshell primers.
But by golly it is a start.

 

[fiver]

I could use a bunch of shot shell primers.... and not Cheddite's at a dime each.

I sorta sense that the flippers have peaked and maybe are in retreat, which might be another way of saying that the consumers have come to their senses and collectively told those parasitic bar stads to pound salt. If this cycle follows its usual schedule, by late this year a lot of components will be in stock and prices might subside to reasonable levels. Mind you, I'm not holding my breath here--but I think we have turned a corner.

 

[fiver]

it does seem like stuff is popping up more frequently recently.
oddly stuff like powder is coming up and not on it's normal seasonal schedule, it's like someone is opening a warehouse and dropping it all at once.

 

[RicinYakima]

LGS saying he is getting partial backorders from last year. Nothing big but dribbles here and there. He is a small one man operation, but the bigger stores should be getting some also.

 

[CZ93X62]

My usual supplier has online catalogs updated daily (Phillips Wholesale in Covina). No primers at all (imagine my surprise), 1 size of lead shot (#6), and a scattering of 1# powders by WW, Hodgdon, IMR, and Alliant.

Stopped at a larger regional gun store on the way to my Dad’s yesterday. They had CCI LPP and SPP on the shelf. They wanted $150.00 per k. When I confronted the guy at the counter about the price gouging, he gave some limp excuse that they had changed hands multiple times and they weren’t making hardly any mark up on them. I’m not buying it.

 

[popper]

Tx rain gauge - nope.

I am seeing powders and reloading dies and ammo (9/38/45/223) show up the last wk or so. Affordable? the powder and dies were, the ammo not so much. 9's were $40 per 50 rounds with at least 10 different brands. All the 38 and 45ACP was Federal. Slowly getting there.

Sportsman’s Warehouse had primers: 129.99 per 1000 plus shipping and hazmat.
