HELP! Gunpowder in Tucson?

[brian10x]

Yikes!

I HAD 4 lbs of W231.

Started loading 2000 rounds of 45ACP, and guess what? Didn't have as much as I thought.

Does anyone know where I can find W231 in Tucson!

Its a ballistic emergency!

Thanks-

CalRanch in Sierra Vista had some two weeks ago. Might be worth a call if you’ll drive 90 minutes for it.

Thanks. Grabbed 8lbs of Titegroup at Thunderstick trading. Seems like a good substitute, and it will last me over ten years!

Only a half a box of ammo a week over ten years? You've got to up your game.

I usually use the same powder for 9mm/45ACP/38spl. Normally I load 1-2K rounds at a time. I usually shoot once a week.
Normally I take 2 centerfire pistols, a rimfire, and a rifle. Shoot in the desert for around 2 hours.

I dunno. never done the math. I spend way too much of that time looking for brass in the bushes and not enough trigger time.

The thing is, I don't enjoy reloading much after the first ten rounds. It becomes boring and too repetitive, so every time I squeeze the trigger, I know thats another piece of brass to hunt down, tumble, and reload again.

So, yeah, I guess I need to shoot more and maybe get more drunk to enjoy reloading more. Beer definitely helps relieve the boredom, especially if I'm watching YouTube videos.

At least until I pass out.

So, I guess the takeaway from all this is that I'm 61 and 22lr is more enjoyable to shoot than ever before. Reloading lost its charm 30 years ago for me.

And GROAN... :confusion-shrug: . I'm looking at a huge pile of 5.56 brass getting bigger and bigger every week, taunting me, teasing me, knowing I'll have to reload it SOME DAY.

Would you have any small pistol primers to trade for a new can (1lb) or W231 or AA#2?

 

[brian10x]

I'd trade my left testicle for some small pistol primers about now.

 

[Flash]

How many SPPs do you want for that left testicle?

 

[brian10x]

I'd trade the left one for 5K in SPP, or both balls and a cup of fumunda cheese for 10K. Surgery costs negotiable.

Its a BIG one.
