I know Federal brand is relatively easy to find at my LGS but I prefer Winchester and that stuff is practically Unobtainium.  I haven't seen any in any of my local LGS in I don't know how many years. I did buy up every bit I could find back in the late 1990's and a decent supply of Winchester and Remington brass so I'm reasonably good to go but supplies only last so long if you're shooting a lot. Right now I'm looking for a load for my upcoming elk hunt. Paul B. Paul: I just saw where Grafs has 150 grain Power Points listed for $32.59 per 100. I know it's not the factory 145, but I'm sure you could duplicate the ballistics. RM
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

Whether you want to call them obsolete or obscure, I find that the rifles that interest me are older in more... vintage chamberings. Those are the rifle that appeal to me so I adapt to the ammunition issues.

8mm Remington Magnum .... wish I still had my 1998 Rem 700 Classic .... what an awesome cartridge .......
7.65 Argentine ....... 1909 .....lots of history there, My grandfather somehow got that thing out of Europe into South America in the 50's and into the US ..... It was given to me after he passed away 12 years ago ....... still have a box full of old Belgian ammo (or so I was told) he brought with it ..... Graf and Sons sells the Argy ammo (Hornady-branded) with hunting bullets at reasonable prices. They usually have it in stock. I bought some for my uncle's old '91 Mauser awhile back. It's exclusive to Graf's, I think.
