A order I placed back in Jan is finally shipping. Looks like Berger is still making product. They are still running way behind, but stuff shipping, is a good thing. No word on primers.  . dave

This is the worst time of the year to find reloading supplies in stock any where .
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

Told myself I'd never get caught short again - it didn't work out that way.
The magnitude of this scare/shortages, far outweighs anything previous. It's forced me into trimming drastically the powders I use. To the point of only loading for chamberings that can use a common powder. I've learned a lot, not all of it 'bout shooting.

I don't buy from Lester Bruno, but I think he is selling for $64.95 per thousand.

You did good. I ordered 7 pounds of H4831 and H4350 from Powder Valley on the 13th of Feb and it was just "invoiced" 2 days ago which means it will take another 3 weeks to be processed and shipped.

I have received 2300 bullets-223 in the last week. Thanks to our forum members. I also received 2400 rounds of 223 brass. Have you ever deprimed 2400 rounds of brass? Ain't going to happen again! I have a new brass cleaning kit coming. http://www.stainlesstumblingmedia.com/Only one I have found to clean the inside of the brass and primer pockets also.

How come I didn't hear the bad press about Bruno's till after I ordered?
Did it on 1/29, two boxes of Berger bullets, in stock supposedly.
Haven't heard a word since the order confirmation.

I just bought a box of 1000 CCI Standard and Magnum primers at a local store for $32 per 1000. You guys who are paying $63-$100 are getting screwed.

yeah times are rough, powder valley has that big statement on their front page and they basically have no powder to sell and they are not taking back orders, everybody is trying to start reloading, can't find any pistol reloading stuff etc... the classifieds here are full of over priced stuff, I was trying to buy some 9mm cast bullets and then some old boy called out the seller about a 06 FFL and that ruined my order, he's sending my check back now.
worse than 2008 obama run....
