Been that way for 7 months here. It's an election year and a CV19 scare.

Locally I can find shotgun primers, usually in the muzzle loader section where they are packaged as something special for in-lines and sell for any thing from 7 to 10 dollars a hundred. I have a package of those and a 6 year old package of CCI 2-9s and the CVA Wolf doesn't seem to know the difference.

Unfortunately, I have a sinking feeling things are gonna stay real tight, I sure hope not but, I'm not counting on Biden &/or Harris for anything, except bad, espically when it comes to guns, shooting, loading???????
Nothing around here except a few shotgun primers, couple places have a bit
of powder but not much, no handgun bullets to speak of, a few odd balls
here & there, a few big boys, 10mm & 50. Gotta find some lead, 2 scrap yards
here will run you off if your looking for anything less than a ton?? Yup, 1 "Ton"??

You know it's bad when the stores are even out of .357 SIG. :)

I picked up 1595 LPPs yesterday for $55.

Trying to trade some AutoMatch to restock the 9X19 I let go in a pistol deal. No one is biting on 650 rounds of 22 LR for 150 rounds 9X19 FMJ even thoughLR is selling for $0.15 per round and up...meaning people aren't biting on $0.65 per round for 9mm.

Ordered some 5.56X45 when I accidentally caught it in stock at MidwayUSA. I burned 200-300 rounds fixing an AR project I sold unfired that didn't work right (fixed now) so I needed to restock but I bought more than I need so I'll probably put some up for sale.

I found a guy online that is so desperate for .30-30 he asked me to load some for him and he doesn't know me or my practices. I said no.

Have you tried mining the berms at the gun rang? Lots of work but the lead is free usually.

Howdy Chevy, great to hear from you again. Yea, I tried a few years ago, at the only outdoor range I know of here. Place called Ben Avery, giant place, shoot anything there from bow & air gun, to I believe a 1,000 yard range now> Was told they had so many already digging, & 10 times as many asking that they stopped???
The indoor range, no way, wont even talk to you, they sell to the highest bidder, lead & brass.
The last indoor range I was at, Shooters World not far from me, a young smart mouth tried to say I
could not take "my" brass home??? I told him to hide & watch, so did 4 others there at the time.
Never did enjoy indoor ranges, that was the last nail in the coffin.
It's ok, ill find it somewhere when the need hits hard.
