Not much action on "Where are Reloading Components Available"

Seems most components are available if you're not too fussy. The exception being primers which are still very difficult to obtain.

Sorry......Graf's is in Mexico, MO, which some might consider a 3rd world country, but still legal to transport in and out of.....for now.

Minor slip up on my part, as there are two Graf's in MO. The mail order place in Mexico, MO and an unrelated reloading store in St. Charles, MO, which was also Graf's, but now goes by the name of Full Circle Reloading. For some reason still felt the need to differentiate.

Lol. By all accounts.....MO is still America. Now, if it had been in California, NJ, MD........I'd stand by my statement about needed an import license.

Or ny. New Yorkistan needs to be added to your list

Update on my Midsouth order! This morning they charged my card and started pulling my 4 items from the warehouse. Tonight they are still pulling the four items. I still have to get them packed and shipped but they are making progress.

I wouldn't say very difficult anymore. Everyday for about 2 weeks primers have been available from different places. I know many of my friends in need have gotten them. 6 months ago it was very difficult today not so much.

I proudly scored 2000 SRPs at Academy online last week. I couldn’t believe they allowed the order to go through. I tried for more tonight but there is now a limit of 100 (one sleeve).

I actually scored some CCI 41s and CCI SPPs this past week ... but they were waaaaaaay too expensive. And some 1680 and N140.

But it is still iffy out there. Something is just not making sense.

I've always had good luck with Midsouth. They do have a message on their website that shipping is running behind 6-8 business days. So I'm giving them some slack considering the current situation and patiently waiting for my order.

Anticipation . . was that a song? I'm still trying to envision Midsouth's warehouse and operation.

I do like smaller companies (Nachez / Midsouth) because I always felt they really appreciated the business. More so than the larger companies. However, I'm beginning to wonder if the items they claim to have in stock are really in stock.

Shipping is another BS story in and of itself.

Good luck with your order. The Manana mentality has finally overtaken the entire country.

Since I complain regularly about those who brag about their primer finds, I thought I would return the favor; 1100 primers picked up in lots of 3, 4, and 4 at two different Academy Sports in Kansas since Saturday: $6.99/hundred! I'm back ahead for a year, anyway. I would point out these are the first small rifle primers I've seen since early spring, 2020....when I passed on picking up 1000 CCI BR at $60.00 because I thought it was too high.

Academy seems to be the hot ticket at the moment. I picked up 2000 SRP for only $60 per 1000. They have 9mm ammo for 37 cents per round which is way cheaper than most online places and WAY cheaper than BassPro. I have some favorite online stores that will unfortunately lose some of my business for a while because of Academy.

GONRA can't outgefigger why U.S.& A. Primer Shortage hasn't been cleaned up with Foreign Imports.

Top notch brand RWS, others can't be THAT complicated for Distributers to import.
Are they even MORE Expensive? ???
You International Wheelers & Dealers out there - lemmeno wot I'm missing!
THANX!

My order shipped today. All in-stock. Nine working days . Now we will see how efficient parcel post is.

I haven't seen WSR(not the 41's) other then gun brokers in a 16 months online or in stores.
