What's. Worse.....????
« on: April 01, 2021, 08:08:29 AM »
What's worse finding ........
Finding....
Smokeless powder
Primers
Bullets

They all seem hard to find ,but in your opinion which is the worst to find right now.
Too add ,anybody notice the price change on some components ,prices are going up by the day,by the hour,and the products are not even in stock to go up.

Primers and brass seem to be the hardest to find.

Specific bullets can be hard to find but if I just needed some projectiles, I wouldn't consider it hard at all.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

It really blows me away how hard bullets are to come by. I’ve got some oddball stuff and components are just non existent. I haven’t keen able to find much of anything in .358 since last spring.

Powder actually seems like it’s starting to trickle in (except I haven’t seen RL26 locally in 2 years).  Everything’s gone up significantly.

in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

Someone has RL26 offered in the classifieds right now.......

Powder for me.
I just need 2 pounds of rl23 and have yet to see any anywhere besides gunbroker for $103 plus shipping and fees.  I don't need it that bad I guess.

Got to say powder is the hardest thing for me to find right now, no one seems to be able to have any H335 in stock or else when it does get in friends are called and by the time I can get anywhere it's gone again only need 2, 8 lbs jugs or even 1 lb er's to get back to filling cases.

You can get anything component wise. Just takes a cell phone and a bank card. How far one is willing to go is the crutch with most. Happy hunting.

Bullets, if you need something specific.  If you just need a certain caliber and any bullet then probably primers.  Or powder.  Or marine spark plugs.  Or Olympic weights.  Or a house.  Or a truck.

I’m just glad inflation is comfortably under 2%.
