I have just read the posts above about reloading supplies and i was in my gunshop today here down under in Australia ( Aussie Land ) and the gunshop owner along with the other gunshops in my town are really worried about whats going on over there, because our supplies are drying up quicker than you can plink an eye.
I have a local lead Bullet maker for pistol and rifle , and Australia has its own powder maker ADI powders.
The only thing i am concerned about is getting primers and jacketed bullets for hunting. Can you guys buy from countries like Russia etc
moto,
I really don't know about buying outside the USA. As I posted yesterday in another thread, the shortages *seem* to be easing. My local shop had more "stuff" than I've ever seen. I didn't take a complete inventory, but the shelves were full to the point that they had to move other stuff to get room for powder and primers.
That said, I called Hornady on Thursday, and was told that they are working very long hours. In fact, I said something to the effect that I should go down there for a few weeks and was told "C'mon, we'll find something for you to do!" .41 cal jacketed stuff is on the back burner, don't know when.
Now, the humo(u)rous side of all this... My wife and I were at one of the big stores in the "city" nearest to us a couple of weeks ago. I was on a primer gathering expedition. They had two bricks of Feds left on the shelf, along with a sign limiting each customer to one brick. Now, while I was looking, my wife, as she usually does, wandered off looking at other stuff. I picked up both bricks of the primers and headed to the checkout register. My wife saw me and headed there also with her handful of whatever. She was standing right behind me when the gal behind the register told me that I could only buy one brick of primers. I gave her a blank stare, picked up one of the bricks, turned to my wife and said "Lady, will you buy these for me?" My wife, who the register person did not know was my wife, paused, said "OK" and took them from me. I paid, headed fro the door, the lady behind me (my wife) paid for her items and my primers and followed me out the door. It was only when we were in the pickup that we both broke out in laughter. We seniors are amused by such simple things y'know.
