Talked with one of my suppliers

They told me that they don't see things getting very much better any time soon. Their suppliers are posting doom and gloom reports to them. I also talked to Hodgdon the other day. They don't see powder availability getting much better before the end of this year..if then. They also told me they are shipping more powder than ever..but to where is my question? It is surely in short short supply here.ammunition supplies are terrible as are supplies of 30 cal bullets and others. Luckily I have about 20K .224 bullets and I also have enough brass esp in handgun calibers. Most rifle cals too. but none in rifles to sell any amount of. . Oh well. Snowed again last night. Almost had 'nuff winter. and it is gonna get cold again. We've had more'n 3 ft this winter. Luckily most has either blown away or melted....except around the house. Supposed to get up to a foot more tomorrow through Monday. Oy Vey!!

Got some brass the other day. All told about 7000 rounds in many different calibers. Paid 60 bucks for it. Some new some once fired and some..well...OLD. WWII 06 Even got a couple of loaded30-06 dated 1918 cupro-nickle bullets.. late 50s 7.62 x 51(308) in all that I got there was quite a bit of 250-3000 Savage. There was even a couple hundred 22-250 formed from WWII 06 brass. The guy that did all that work musta valued money over his time. THAT is a lot of work. Checked it out and it is standard 22-250 not 22 Varminter which is a little different. There is also a lot of Military 30-06 fireformed to 30-06 Ackley Improved. And in the last there was a couple hundred new 250 Savage sized to 22-250 with the necks reamed and all. Going to give the WWII 06 to a friend. He has many many thousands of brass of all flavors. At last count he figured he has over 3000 lbs of brass. All tumbled and in coffee cans. He also has another ton of lead for me..yippee! I again have about a 5 gal bucket of 38 Sp brass. Time to start loading again.
