Nah...
Shed loads of powder and primers available now
All RS Powders in stock with the importer, spoke to him today! (with the exception of RS40, but we have lots of that too)
So much Viht came in before Christmas we actually got offered more of our back order
We load with N133/N135 extensively so have a lot
RWS SRP/LRP primers came in and are available for direct import
Magtech just arrived so that pretty much everyone has volumes
if home loaders would stop buying 8kg and 5000 primers at a time "just in case" then you would see a lot more!
Dont buy two years supply !!
Unless you are shooting FClass and need a solid batch or lot number of primers and consumables you don't shoot enough!
I know someone who boasted of having 20kg of one powder and 100,000 primers!!
Why!?
roughly 8000 rounds worth of powder
50 rounds a week for every week for the next 3 years!
CCI and Federal primers may be a distant memory....but do we really need them? no-one is missing deer or the occasional target because the changed from CCI BR2s to RWS or Magtech
Alliant and Hodgdon Powders are coming through in dribs and drabs but at current retail they are as much as £75 a pound
Am sorry but when you can get a kilo of European Viht or RS at £110-120 (£59 a pound) why would you bother?
RS powders have produced some of the best accuracy and higher velocity loads and have some bonkers universal powders
We use RS60 is so many cartridges from 243 up to 300WM
One thing I am noticing is dealers are not buying some things in
Ammo and reloading consumable are in that list
Lot of the "not available" is often "we don't have it"
