How's your components availability and prices?

Post by jnyork »

Seems to be getting very slowly better here, was in Rocky Mountain Sports in Riverton WY this AM, they had plenty of IMR and Hodgdens powder at 28-30 , down about 5-6 from the high. Pretty much had all the primers you wanted, I got a brick of Federal 200 for 35.03 out the door with the tax and all, better by 10 bucks than the last I saw in Yuma a couple weeks ago and vastly better stock. Plenty of bullets of all types. No .22 rimfire of course. Still, an improvement over the last couple of years and we can only hope the trend continues. :)

No pistol powders around that I know of.....spotty .22, but I've not seen any.

Basic stuff like CCI SR primers, CCI solid Minimags etc will take a call to 2 -3 shops.
Prices go up a heck of a lot faster than my pay does.
If you ask for something a little less common, such as Starline 32-20 brass, 99% of shops will laugh at you and the last one will want an arm, a leg, and one of your bells as well, and that's for just 50.

Here in the far north of Kalifornia, most primers are readily available. Powder is very hit-and-miss, and my favorite powders IMR 4198 and Reloader 7 are very hard to come by. The "dot" powders are also tough to find. There is a pretty good supply of the pointy, spendy bullets like Nosler and Swift, but it can be very difficult to find bullets suitable for leverguns. Makes me glad I cast my own!

22RF is all but impossible to buy locally still. Only store in town that sells powder is sloooooowly improving on the powder available. Usually they will have some of the slower rifle powders on the shelf. Pistol powders are gone in a day or two of receiving shipment.

Gander Mountain in Little Rock seems to be improving some over the last couple of years. Monday I got a carton of CCI large pistol primers and about two weeks ago my grandson was down there and got us a carton of CCI small pistol primers priced at 38bucks but at least we got them.
