IF YOU ARE A RELOADER...

[Wildman]

have you been able to find powder ? if yes, where ?

 

[jon_berzerk]

there is a big demand for it these days

 

[rockledr]

I find it locally at the smaller mom and pop shops. The big chain stores rarely have it here.

Gun shows and big outdoor venues like Cabelas and Bass Pro. In rural areas you might get lucky with estate auctions. I picked up a ton of bullets, powder and odds and ends like scopes in a big estate auction a couple of years ago.

Bass Pro shop here in Orlando has many brands and types, though it is often out of some types. Other than that I get mine at gun shows. I can almost always find what I need and the price can't be beat.

Cabela's has it here. You can order online from them.

The problem with ordering powder and primers on line is the Haz Mat fee.

 

[Tresha91203]

Bass Pro Shop has them around here, too, but I think Cabela's is more common nationwide.

I'm a freeloader.

here and there. my range where I shoot got in a bunch of Tite-group and tite-wad, got 16 pounds of TG and 8 of TW

at a gun show-a big commercial reloader had 8 pound kegs of TG for 150 which isn't gouging-I got one from him

my local gun club gets stuff in every once in a while and I got two pounds of Green dot there and 4 pounds of Auto Comp from another store

they don't have most of the popular stuff and its overpriced. paying more than 20 bucks a pound is gouging

I just made 100 rounds of 32 H&R Magnum for my dad. He's been complaining that it's a hard cartridge to find and expensive too. They cost about 35 cents to make. It'll be less than that when he brings back the brass.

Yesterday I spent the day watching football and putting together 143 rounds of 30-06. Aren't they beautiful!

I just hooked up up my Lee turret loader after about ten years of inactivity. The .44 mag dies were still right on and I cranked out a box of 20 (13.5 gr 2400 powder) in about a half hour. It's a great little machine but you have to focus. If you crank the lever and forget to rotate the turret you get bad stuff. I bought some new .38 dies at a gun show but it took time and about half a dozen ruined rounds before I fine tuned the dies for wad cutters.
