Default Having a hard time finding bullets.

Can anybody give me a clue as to where I might be able to buy bulk XTPs and the Hornady lead SWC/HP in either .430 or .452 240 grain online. I have looked in several different stores, including Dicks, Gander Mountain, and Sportsmans Warehouse and I have searched online and haven't been able to find anyone that has them available. I finally found an bought enough powder to last a while but no projectiles. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked MidSouth Shooters Supply, Midway USA, or Graf's & Sons? Good stores and fast shipping.

My first stop would be Google.

All bullets are hard to come by right now. We have several reloading stores in the area and NONE of them have any .451 or .452 bullets right now. The one store I frequent normally has about a 8x40 foot wall of bulk bullets of every make and model you can think of. Last Sat I was in there and there may have been 100 boxes of bullets on the shelf.

SWThomas, I checked google and they were all out and they didn't think they would be getting any more in. No really, the first thing I did was use google but the first several sites that I looked at were out so I thought I would post here to see if any of you knew where I could find them.

I just placed my order at http://www.gamaliel.com/ Thanks Semi for mentioning them, I had forgotten them. They seem to have quite a few in stock.

I also noticed that Cabelas has the XTPs in stock online this morning and they have shown backorder for some time. Maybe they will start to become more available now.

Thanks everybody for you suggestions. In a few days I should be able to shoot again!!!!!
