Components Becoming Available?! Score!

[Half Dog]

Congratulations on your find. I lucked into 3k primers, online, and the excitement felt like a few days before Christmas.

WalMart?? Surely you jest. I have NEVER seen any powder, primers, or other reloading components at my local WalMart.

Same here. Nothing like that around here, even in the "good" times.

This was a number of years ago. I stopped at a Wal-Mart in a small town in Utah, they had reloading supplies of all kinds plus reloading equipment, dies, presses, and a lot of shotgun reloading supplies. I think it just depends on the area. It seems like most people hunt in Utah.

I've purchased 400rds of 5.56 and almost 2500 .22lr over the last week. Yesterday I picked up a box of Hornady .30 110gr V-Max bullets off of a shelf. Tomorrow I go to my normal shop for reloading supplies to see what they have.

Right, where is this mystical place? The one hardly sells gun & ammo and has a sign guns sold by appointment only. While the other one has a little more selection it isn't much!

I never really thought about it being odd that they stock reloading supplies. They just always have. Basically all RCBS products for some reason.

Components are still impossible to find in most stores. Anytime they show up they sell out immediately. It's just the luck of the draw if you happen to find something in stock. It's been the same scenario for the last year.

I would be willing to may 3x the normal price for a pound of Varget right now and maybe more. Good score there!

Our Walmart's used to sell guns as well as ammo. Never reloading stuff as far back as I can remember.

They stopped the guns when NM enacted a special law for FFL holders.

Just got a call from Graf’s. The W-748 I ordered back in November finally arrived and will be in hand shortly. They suspect they’ll be able to start taking back orders again in a few months. It’s never been this bad before.

In my area, people are waiting outside the sporting goods stores before they open, in hopes that they receive components that day. However, I did see some .22 LR and .357 Mag ammo at 7:00 PM yesterday at normal price.

The best thing to do is not pay over normal prices. When scalpers quit buying up stock, we’ll have what we want.

Our local Walmart has never sold components but did sell ammo up until the BLM riots, (university Town) I'll have to check to see if they are stocking ammo again.
