I'm out and trying to resupply for my lefty guns. Anyone know of any in stock? Loaded or bullets for loading? 250ai, 308win 22lr.

I've always had to make do with right handed ammo in my left handed rifles.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
With the exception of your 250AI, those calibers seem to be back in stock at most every shop I've seen lately.

Most sporting goods stores have displays of what you are looking for next to the left handed baseball bats.

How do you label your Left Handed ammo to ensure it is not fired in Right Hand rifles ?

If you can find right handed ammo loaded in the Southern Hemisphere is should work fine for you....

Well i think its important to sit all of your ammo down and see how it identifies. Some identify as left handed, some right handed, some non-binary. Those quarter bores are harder to come by but you should be able to find plenty of the others. Check palmetto state armory, they usually have a huge supply of ammo at good prices.

I have a lot of trouble with right hand priming tools as well. It is difficult to keep the 12 o'clock position of the primers aligned with the 12 o'clock position of the cases.

All of my handholds are left-handed.

Took me years, but finally found a company that makes left hand reloading dies as well as a lefty lube pad
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I saw some in the left hand side of a local store about a week ago. Then there are siding nails that have the points on different sides of the box. One goes on one side of the house and the other kind that point the wrong way go on the other side of the house.
