I've managed to scrape up enough shells at gun shows and a few out of the way gun shops to supply my hunting needs but the sources are drying up. Anyone know of a supply or is it time to roll my own?

No one has factory loaded 87s for a long time.
Get some dies and some Reloder 15.

I picked up a couple of boxes of 85gr Nosler Ballistic Tip loaded by the guy from Texas City that sells handloads at the gun shows around here. I haven't tried them yet.

Supply has done dried up.. far best to roll your own. Ever handloaded before?

Keystone 250,
If your handle is any clue, you are in PA, yes? I'd be willing to show you how its done with my basic equipment and even make you a box or two. Are you near Allentown?

Thanks for the replies.
Idorado - I'd be interested in a report on how they shoot
Calhoun - not yet, but I have most of the equipment
steve99 - I now live in VA but still hunt PA exclusively, but interested in your offer - will send PM
Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?

Keystone 250, I live in Va. and reload. PM me if you want and I'll help with reloading also. I'm waiting on a 250 now to hunt with, should be at the dealer's today. He went to Knob Creek for the MG shoot, I should be able to pick it up tomorrow.

Steve99, do you hit the Allentown shows? Harrisburg? The small shows in between?

Hi Mark,
Yes I generally get to the Forks of the Delaware Show at Ag Hall. Sometimes go to Leesport Farmers market show. Once in a while, well once anyway, to the Mt. bethel fire company show.
Haven't gotten to Harrisburg yet.
