Author Topic: Where to get Components? (Read 6014 times)

pfinn · « **on:** January 27, 2013, 08:26:06 PM »

I am curious if any of you know of anywhere that has components in stock. Looking for mainly for bullets (.223, .40 S&W, .45 ACP). It seems like everywhere is pretty well sold out of bullets and brass. I've checked CTD, Midway, Brownell's, and Cabela's and Scheel's locally.

I am guessing everything is cleaned out, but thought I'd check.

Reloading components are like hen's teeth right now.

Scheels in Lincoln had some Berry plated .45 ACP today, not much of anything else.

I though it was bad last year. Now it is REAL bad and stupid high cost!

It was amusing seeing selves of .223 empty in every imaginable type store that sold ammunition (and I have done a bit of traveling lately...it is everywhere). Then there was a bit of panic when I needed some factory loaded 9mm or .45 for a CCW class. Now the loading components are getting harder to find. Disappears in volume when it shows up. And prices keep climbing. Damn "supply and demand" economics thing.

Since no one seems to answer our types of questions, I will try and help with what I have found:
Midway had Rainer LeadFree 115gr FMJ bullets last night fairly cheap. I picked up 500 just so I can start reloading.
Guns Unlimited had WSP/WSR primers in stock Sat afternoon.
Scheels in Lincoln had A selection of Powders Friday as well as some .223 from American Eagle on the shelf for 7.99.

Hope this helps.

Thanks all. I'm amazed every time I go into a store how empty the shelves are... I'll be curious how long it stays this way.

Neeco -- The American Eagle was gone by opening on Saturday AM, but they had replaced it with Independence 5.56 for $10.99.

I was at Cabelas today. They had some 45 ACP bullets, but no 230 grain round nose.
They also had some .223, .45, and 9mm dies

They didn't have any yesterday. Dang.

Stopped at Walmart on 84th in Lincoln over lunch. They had a bunch of PPU .223 ammo for $7.99.

pfin:

Components! Bulelts, brass, primers, powder, etc... not loaded ammo.

Granted, loaded ammo does get you some brass....

Scheels had Hornady 223 dies. 30-06 as well. Now all I need is the 40. and I am set on dies. They had 9mm but I don't use it, so left it for someone else. Now I need the plates and a class to teach me how to use all this expensive stuff so I can start the journey towards breaking even.

pfinn · « **Reply #11 on:** January 28, 2013, 05:43:30 PM »

Unfy, yes, I flipped there. Original post was about components... just seeing loaded ammo somewhere got me so giddy, I had to tell somebody.

Found Powder, .223 60gr bullets and 9mm and .223 dies at Sheels in Lincoln

gigabelly · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2013, 01:50:47 PM »

Found the 223 dies and 30-06 dies at Scheels in Lincoln also. No primers or case holders for any of the calibers I need. The hunt continues.

BTW, WalMart carries no reloading gear at all. Everyone probably knows that already, and I just learned it today, so I thought I would share.

Some "rural" Walmarts do. I've seen powder and primers at stores in North Platte and Alamosa, CO.

Too Bad Hornady doesn't have a Factory outlet Store.

Mudnrox · « **Reply #17 on:** February 01, 2013, 09:23:22 PM »

Discount Enterprises Guns has bullets. I saw .45 ACP, 308 Win and others today.

Cabelas in LaVista also has some Berrys Bullets 115 gr 9mm and 230 grain .45 ACP

bkoenig · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2013, 07:53:33 AM »

http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/ has some powder and bullets in stock but like most online vendors they're way behind in shipping. Ordering in bulk is the way to go if you can get a few guys together to split Hazmat & shipping.

I might be interested in a group buy if anyone tracks down some small pistol primers or Ramshot TAC.

Thanks for the lead here, looked into them and ordered two boxes. Good prices, and they seem to get good reviews.
