    I was at the reloading store a couple days ago. They had plenty in stock, but they were wanting $20 for 100 primers. I didn't want to pay, but I'm out of large rifle primers so.....

    Ouch!!! I probably would have bought enough to load up the cases and bullets I have on hand.

    Surprised they had any in stock!!
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    I left there feeling like I was raped. A year ago, $30 got you 1000 of the CCI brand. They got a shipment of powders too. Of course I hadn't used any of the brands before. But it's gotten me to sample stuff I normally never would've tried. I really like the American Select powder. It's supposed to be for shotguns, but I've been using it in .45 ACP and .45LC. It's pretty snappy and burns pretty clean. I've noticed a little less carbon build up in my guns over using Power Pistol (which is my usual favorite). So after the shortages are over, I might keep buying this stuff.
