I picked a bad time to learn reloading for rifle rounds. Yesterday Midsouth had IMR 4895 for $61.99 a pound. I feel like if I don't buy it at that price, its only going to get more expensive next time its in stock.
I can't seem to find large rifle primers either. (I currently have 300 my Dad's friend gave to me). I have a meager stock of pistol components, but would love to have more so I can shoot more. I guess its a catch 22 situation. |

Open a reloading manual and look at the alternatives, Buy something else. IMR Hodgdon Alliant prices have jumped the shark. Look at the caliber and bullet and pick something else. Ramshot and even Vihtvouri are cheaper. Likely around $40 a pound give or take. Single pounders, check local gun shops first. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By lazyengineer: Curiously, .22LR prices are continuing to fall. In a reverse of the 2008 Obama era run. So while the ingredients that go into .22LR shells continue to be gouge-priced by the monopolistic practices of Hodgdon; the cost of .22LR is down to just 5 cents a shot now; with that primed cartridge with powder and casing, now costing almost half teh retail value of a reloaders primer alone. (Retail that is; bulk shoppers can do a better). So... I'm buying 5 cent Mexican .22LR High Vel ammo by the thousands these day. This is the way. .22 will be the last round standing |

Yeah, bad timing on your part. You can find powder, but it's expensive. Large rifle primers are still very hard to come by and also expensive, so it's truly a bad situation. |
