Once in a blue moon bass pro 60 miles away gets a box of something odd..like federal lpm bench rest.. But they are 89$ so I get them. Same with a pawn shop about 45m away..they will sell chi 209's...
I've used both tula and wolf..still have some..wish I had more. When other primers were 3c @.. Wolf/tula were 2c@. They have loaded fine for me.

Agreed... Hogs soak up bullets.. Around here in the US many of us carry a rifle with a big handgun for close encounters. In a group setting I would not feel underfunded with a 357mag rifle.. And no...

Since 50-70 was mentioned.. If the gun is modern steel / nitro proofed..like a pedersoli.. The trailboss reload formula is fine per hodgdon tech supt.

Especially true for a straight wall caliber like 38spl. The basic lee press with a safety scale and a 3 die set..a tray of primers pound of powder and some lubed cast or jwords , save your own...

Correct..for ammo makers there is way more profit in selling loaded ammo. Reloading supplies to hobbiests were always surplus or over run.. None of that exists now.. And reloading is a sliver of the...

It's amazing.. The USPS can ship cross country in a day and a half once..then the next time it takes 3 weeks.
I ordered a roll crimp tool from precosion in SD.. On July 13..shipped 15th. By 17th...

One thing to do is be preemptive in your reloading hobby. For instance..i maintain a few powders that have very very wide reloading uses..for instance... Trail boss. Not fantastic for auto...

Another thing to consider is intended use of powders vs cross platform applications. For instance..shotshell powders are virtually always running as a compressed load.... Vs metallic cartridge loads...

H110 works great over a 209 primer in .410 for me. nothing inconsistant about it. Same for blue dot in 12g mag loads.
and... 9mm should be taper crimp.. not roll crimp.
As mentioned.. for bullets that don't headspace on the case mouth.. I like roll crimp and a cannelure. otherwise all other grooves to me are...

I just went round and round with fedex ground trying to get a hazmat package.. took 3 weeks to resolve.
Not a fan of any delivery service. Fedex just .. sucks.. ups is dropping gun companies.....
