Taking a 3-week road trip vacation from Washington state, down to the Arizona/Mexico border next week to do some off-road exploring, mine and ghost town exploring, and visiting family.
Driving the full length of Idaho, then Utah, a couple of hundred miles in Nevada, then the entire Western edge of Arizona.
I warned my girlfriend that I would be stopping at most gun shops and large sporting goods chains I spotted along the way in search of mostly primers, powder, and bullets.
Seems like I hear from gun owners around the country that some areas seem to have more reloading components than others. A few folks in the states where there is a lower percentage of gun ownership also have a lower interest in reloading, so powder, bullets, and even some primers can still be found.
In my area, I've been able to buy one can of powder and one box of 100 primers in 5 months. Tons of shooters and reloaders around here.
Not sure I will have much success, despite covering such a large area since most of it is in states with a lot of gun owners.
What do you think my chances of actually scoring anything will be? And should I focus on stopping at the larger stores like Sportsman's Warehouse and Cabela's, or try to find the smaller local shops?
