It is crazy, but I'm hoping, like the toilet paper scare, it will begin to ease up. Although it's seeming to get worse, first.eelj wrote: Mon Jul 27, 2020 8:26 am My son inlaw bought a 9mm this year. Can't find ammo anywhere. Yesterday he was at our house and brought up reloading. I told him he could use my presses but he'll need to buy dies etc. He also would like to cast his own, he knows I have close to 1000 lbs of wheel weight lead.
I haven't been able to sleep all night so I've been looking on line and I think he waited too long, there is very little available, virtually nothing from lee.
I think it's worse than the Obama scare right now.

And seller is in damn Asuza, CA... 10 min drive from where I am typing right now!
Thanks! As luck would have it, I believe that's what I ordered, and some Hornady for cheaper fun. Now to borrow some equipment and do some learning. And have patience as UPS cools their heels on my package.shinzen wrote: Mon Jul 27, 2020 9:24 pm8208 and barnes ttsx copper bullets have done pretty well for me.
