Bullets and powder
« on: February 07, 2009, 05:59:53 PM »
I live in Arizona. Went to the local big box gun place here and got a shock. The bullets shelves were decimated along with the powder stocks.I left feeling a little anxious to say the least.  went to the other big box gun store and died of shock. Seems the bullets have doubled in price since the last time I bought which was about ten years ago. Thank God I laid in a huge supply then and was only looking to supplement a few shortages. think I am going to dust of the Lyman pot and start casting lead bullets for the rifles again Anybody across the country noticing the same trends?

i  like the 45-70
lead  and almost  any powder will make  it  go  and go well [black powder, pistol or rifle powde
all  you need are primers  [i even read an article once about rebuilding primers with strike any where matches]

I had to get a bank loan and two co-signers to buy a 1000 rounds of .223.  Ammo is out of sight, I'm busting out the re-loading equipment and will start baking my own. ??? ??? ???
