OK, one more question. I got the equipment, read up on the subject and began to order the components, but no primers. I know that was an issue on the board over the summer but still none of the on line stores have them. Where can I get them?

gunbroker, but be prepared to get gouged

Start calling all your local Sporting goods stores/Gun and Shooting shops.

What size primer are you looking for Wideners Reloading has some in stock.

Tahnk you for ur help, Wideners Reloading had what i needed.

I found some at the local Bi Mart this weekend, they had most sizes but a limit of 4 100 primer trays per size per customer. I also checked a local hardware store (True Value) that sellse guns and supplies and they had a more limited selection but they did have some. I haven't checked lately but the local WalMart sells reloading supplies and they used to have primers.

Pickins is slim for sure.

Your walmarts sell components? damn, the WMs around here dont sell jack, couldnt even find steel shot the other day
