Bass Pro offers ship to store for powder and primers. I just got a couple thousand primers a month ago.

Darn. Just check. The have bupkis in what I need. Well, not really “need” but I like having 5,000 of each on hand.

Hey Doc, did you happen to check the date on that post?

You haven't been drinking the same stuff "Shotgun" Joe has, have you?

I blame the new site software. I find myself on the first page of threads all the time, unable to figure out if there are new posts or not now..

Hi everyone - I know this is the 'powder available' thread (moderators, please delete this if not appropriate!), but I wonder if anyone knows where I could get 1lb of N135? Feel free to message me direct?

Thanks!

I'm just getting into reloading. Is $32 an ok price per pound for powder?

Pre-Pandemic prices were about $22-26 so I would say $32 is in line with most other inflation factors.

Depends on the powder. Many were ~$16/# pre-crazy (or less.) But since ammo is still running ~2x 'normal' and primers are 5x normal, that isn't terrible for powder.

Thanks and am I calculating correctly that 1 lb is 7000 grains. So if I need 8 grains per bullet I can get @ 875 bullets per lb? Making this @ 4 cents/round?

Yes.

 

[gungate]

Yes.

Thanks! Got 3lbs - with shipping/BS ended up being @ 5cpr.

Pistol reloading is really cheap. Brass lasts forever, and free brass often abounds.

yes sir like 2.7grs better per round vs. 215gr-220grs per round
2592 vs. 34 rounds

I discovered 450 45LC brass in my ammo closet last week cleaning it out. I thought they were full boxes but opened them up when I realized how light they were. My BIL is going to give me his Lee single reloader. Figured this is a good bullet to start reloading on since it's $1+/round. I found bullets for 10cpr - now just need primers.

Nothing at all wrong with a single stage press. You’ll quickly understand the process. I warn you, it’s a rabbit hole. Buy once, cry one. Buy bigger than you think you need. You’ll grow into tumblers etc. You’ll be here soon:

Yeah like all my expensive hobbies! My BIL has a huge Dillon press all automated - load it up with everything and go. I am getting his old press.

Anyone know where I can get large pistol primers? I found a few sites that I don't trust the English is so bad.

• Regardless of whether you own a major or little gun, primers are an absolute necessity. Reloading gun s is about accuracy and that is the thing that primers are for!
• Its fundamental capacity is to touch off the charge powder inside the gun’s cartridge. Without primers, the slugs will be stuck in the barrel.
• The primers has touchy parts inside the metal cap yet just a bit. When the shooting pin of the little gun hits the preliminary cap, the preparing synthetic is squashed inside the metal iron block and cap. Accordingly, the primers communicates hot gas into the glimmer opening and cartridge case. This makes the temperatures and pressing factor inside it increment, which then, at that point touches off the force powder.
• These priming parts are normally barium nitrate, antimony sulfide, and lead styphnate. These synthetic substances cooperate to deliver warmth and gas.
• Despite brands, all primers will unquestionably upgrade your shooting and reloading experience.
