Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

I bought an RCBS 9mm Carbide Loading Dies, a Lyman Decapper rod 3 1/2", a Lyman Decapper pin cover, Walnut & Corn media. My neighbor asked me to make him a screen for his Drier Vent so critters don't enter his garage and he paid me by giving me 1,500 once fired 9mm Luger casings. Used all my media on cleaning them, have some media left but not much.
 
Stopped by the LGS in hopes of finding primers. Nope. Over a year and counting. Live 50 miles from the CCI factory. But, I did find plenty of ammo, but still a bit too high. Blazer Brass 9mm was $17.99 a box and Frontier .223 was $13.99 a box.

Hornady bullets stacked high and deep, along with a bunch of Sierra rifle bullets. Then I spotted something I haven't seen longer than primers; Speer Gold Dots. Last box of 100 for $24.99. Grabbed them and a box of XTPs for my .45 Colt loads.

Two different sets of broken screw extractors to remove the broken Picatinny rail retaining screw on my new shotgun.

Peripheral to firearms: A new hand saw, bench plane, honing tools, etc. so that I can reduce the footprint of my reloading bench built on a Black & Decker Workmate which is too large for the available workspace.
 
Lets see....3 IWB holsters. One for my S&W mod 642, one for my S&W 637 and one for my 2.5" S&W Mod 19. Ordered one box of 9mm 115gr JHP's and one box of .357 110gr JHP's from Midway. Oh, and reduced spring sets for the 642 and Mod 19. Both of which I'll pull apart and "massage" the triggers a little as I've done before on my other Smiths....
 
I picked up an over priced pound of powder for $40.
First primers, now powder & bullets are getting expensive & hard to find. When is this going to quit?
 
I actually scored a bound of AA#& the other day. Couldn't believe it. It's been over a year since I bought powder.

Welcome to June of 2020.

Powder and bullets were gone from all local shelves from June to about a month ago around here.

I guess that's what happens when you are stocked up, you loose all track of time & prices.
I knew primers were going way up but not too many were talking about powder or bullets.
The only reason I ventured out was to get another pound of a powder I found a new purpose for & I only had half a pound of it. It looks like I'm lucky to even find it on the shelf.
 
A box of MAGTECH ammo for the .500S&W, some .45COLT and some 10mm ammo. A DeSantis Black Mamba chest holster for the .500S&W.
 
Just came home, purchased a S&W Shield Plus Performance Center 9mm. 10&10 in NJ, but the extra 2 can't hurt, the new trigger design and the fiber optic sights are worth the upgrade from my 2.0. All the regulation now have me wait 2 weeks to bring it home. Had ordered a case of 9mm Monday arrived Friday.
