Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

I have been stocking up on supplies in the last 6 months. Ive got a decent amount but I am wondering just how much some of you long time guys have if you care to tell..lol. Pounds of powder, bullets, primers, different kinds etc. Id imagine some of you guys have cabinets full of bullets and powder..lol.

No matter how much I ever have on hand, it never seems like enough!

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

So you're the reason I can't find any d**n primers or brass! ;) (kidding)

I've got enough to last me a short while, but I've been reduced to necking down 270 Wby brass because there is NO 257 Wby brass to be found anywhere.[:@] I bought 20 pcs of 270 Wby to get me going, but I just hope this little guns 'n' ammo panic attack that this country is having will end soon so I can get some proper brass!

I really hope the panic buyers aren't right. This happened under Clinton and we pulled through. To be honest, I think that even Nazi Pelosi learned her lesson in 1994 and I don't see any really nasty gun control coming at least in Obama's first (and hopefully last) term. This reminds me of every time they forecast 6" of snow coming. Can't find a loaf of bread because people panic buy the shelves clean, only to find out that, as usual, 6" of snow really isn't enough to snow them in for days.

Everybody needs to take a deep breath.

I was selling reloading equipment during the 90's and remembered the Clinton years well ,I managed to put aside a few items .

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

I dont know where in the heck a person could find an 8 pound container anywhere..lol. I been looking for some 4350 myself...it just isnt anywhere to be found around here or online. I noticed wal mart is starting to restock tonight when I walked thru. They had some re22 and some 4064.

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

4350 is quite a popular powder for reloaders, isn't it? Seems a lot of people use it for various cartridges. I know it's one of my favorites....

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

Id imagine some of you guys have cabinets full of bullets and powder..lol.

Well, some of us do....

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

I bought a couple of lbs of extra powder and bunch of 30 cal bullets. I have enough to last me a lifetime of hunting or 2 years of bench shooting and I don't feel like have nearly enough.

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

I have more then I can list. But I have a local mom and pop shop that can still get just about anything.

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

Walmart in baileysville, carries powder? Holy cow, I never seen that. Hey Doe, I remember this gun shop in Pineville I would go too that had reloading supplies. I can't remember the name.

Anyway, uncle bill's gun and pawn in Williamson has 8lb containers.

Its the only way I roll.:D

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

LOL Big its one of the Wal Marts in Beckley. That gun shop in Pineville I pretty much bought cleaned out...he went out of business and sold all the stock to a friend of mine and thats where my primers, most of my bulletsand what 4350 and 4831 I have came from. I prob bought 50 boxes of loaded ammo from him..lol..sold most of it on gunbroker :D. Sold a box of Fed premium .270 with 150 nosler partitions for $40.... still cant believe someone would pay that for it. Sounds like a trip to Williamson is in order.

What do you prefer Big? I have some H4350 left..but havent messed with the IMR4350 any. Ive got both kinds of 4831. If I could do it Id get a keg of 4831sc, varget and one of the 4350's.

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

I don't have any reloading supplies and I sold all my guns.;)

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

Lol, jeepkid is onto something there. I am not even really sure what you guys mean by reloading;):D

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

I always try to keep stocked up on as much Norma MRP and H4895 as I can. 223 brass and 55gr bullets too. H4895 seems to be one of the most useful powders I've seen. U can load just about anything with it. Everything from 223 to 30-06 and 8mm Mauser.

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

And some of us are smart enough to NOT talk about "how much" on line...

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

I have never loaded H4350. I always buy IMR4350 in 8lb containers.

Thats sucks about that dude in Pineville. I always stopped in when going thru Beckley to come to MD. I usually go thru morgantown.

He had a full display of case knives. I wonder who bought the display? I saw on on ebay from 1976 I wanted. I wonder if that was it.

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

Similarly, I never seem to have the exact powder I need at any given time. Plenty of the wrong stuff, though.

RE: Question for you veteran reloaders...
 

I went to the good ole Yellow pages yesterday and called around.I got all I was looking for though it took three shops.
