Components

Post by Bigfoot »

Adding a 4th caliber to my reloading repertoire. Delving into 300 Blackout since it's so hard to find just about any caliber.

Well, I got the dies (Hornady going into my Dillon press as Dillon is on back order into 2021) and quick change from Dillon.

Turns out none of my powders are good for 300BK, but I know I see it from time to time, so I'm not too worried. I can get projectiles pretty easy and cases if I don't make my own from 223 cases I have.

Primers are the tough one. Anyone see any place in particular that gets them more regularly than others? Whether online or in store?

might find a smathering of primers here and there, i and a few others have some standing orders in with several vendors for a large count, lol, we can't even get a 5k sleeve. Again, heard brunos had some a while back, good luck, lotsa components can be had, but pricey, and well primers, until the ammo guys catch up, us lowly citizens will be hard pressed to "get some"

I think we re S.O.L. in regards to primers. Panic buying started months ago, hasn't let up and is only getting worse.

So hard to believe that after all these months the supply hasn't caught back up.

You can get anything... For a price.

I just watched a Gunbroker auction end that made my jaw drop. 5000 CCI #41 primers for $1150! That's the highest I've seen them go for yet.

The 1k I got yesterday was more than it should be, but not near that. I paid $50...not happy about it, but considering...I'll take it.

If that's what they're going for now, I wonder what they'll be selling for in a year?
