I don't buy from Lester Bruno, but I think he is selling for $64.95 per thousand. and he also has a minimum quanity requirement too. His store is not far from where i live, and it really ain't all that big. I have wandered in there from time to time, but i generally always thought him expensive, even in normal times.

Not to pick on anyone in particular but I just don't see how some people got into the position they are in.
Same thing happened after the 1993 Brady Bill, the 1994 assault weapon ban, the 2008 eleciton, the 2012 election. It's only been 3 months since the last panic and people who describe themselves as "lifelong gun nuts" are out of .22lr in less than 1-2 months after the panic started. Same for primers.
I just don't see it. Do people who are really big gun nuts not keep more than 2 months of primers and .22lr on hand?
Otto is my co-pilot.

I shoot 1000 yard Long-Range Bench Rest Silhouette. http://www.ridgwayrifleclub.com/Varmint%20BR/2012%20vbr%20schd.pdf We average about 80 rounds a match. This summer Ill be shooting two rifles a 17 and 12 lb. With load development testing and checking and practice. Its not that easy to stay stocked up. dave

I see you are in New Iberia. What are you looking for? I was in a small somewhat out of the way gun shop yesterday. He had powder, primers, bullets and brass. Not a lot, and selection was somewhat limited. Prices were a dollar or two above "normal". If you are in the Lake Charles area I can tell you where via PM.

I am probably better off than some, not as well off as others. I try to be a glass half full kind of guy, although it takes effort at times.
My particular challenge is that, having recently bought a .223, currently my only rifle in that chambering, I need to find one or two bullets that it likes, and then stock up. I have a few boxes, but not of all I woulld like to try. Then, if and when I settle on the ones I want, I need to find a reliable source.
Hopefully, this will all be sorted out in time, and before I'm in the old folks' home or pushing up daisies.
