I might want some more Accurate MagPro, depending on some testing that I need to conduct, but that appears to be becoming more available. I saw it for sale at Bass Pro Shop the other day, and bought a pound........but, admittedly, it's probably all gone already. I have some powders that I can part with, though: SR 4759 Hodgdon Pyrodex Hercules 2400 Hercules Bullseye Hercules Herco Hodgdon LeverEvolution I'm also looking for: CCI 200 Large Rifle primers, 1 brick Swift A-Frame 338 bullets, 225 grain, qty 250 450 Marlin brass, 200 ea 338 WinMag brass, 200 ea NRA Life Endowment Member

Currently, the strangest items that can't b3 found are new 300 WinMag and 338 WinMag brass, and 338 Swift A-Frame bullets (225 grain) which are apparently plentiful to British hunters, but not here. The shipping-to-Alaska hazmat BS can be thwarted with a $24 forwarding fee per shipment. NRA Life Endowment Member

I bought a pound of Magnum for around $50 about a month or so ago. The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.
