Re: Advice Needed

Venture over to http://www.reddit.com/r/reloading.
They run a Discord server https://discord.gg/reloading dedicated to reloading.
(What's discord? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discord_(software))
They also have numerous notifications you can sign up for once you download/install Discord on your computer/phone/tablet, etc. I'm not sure if you have to be a member of reddit to use the discord server.
Just in the last several days, I've been able to purchase 6,000 primers, 700 6.5CM bullets, 250 pieces of brass for 6.5CM and 100 pieces for .308, and I'm actually struggling to remember what all else I've bought this week. Most of what I've ordered came from MidwayUSA and BassPro.com. I think the only thing I need that I haven't gotten is a set of dies for 6.5 CM, and I have those on backorder at Midway.
That said, it's often a matter of how quickly you respond. Several times, I got a notice that something was in stock, and it was sold out before I could load up the page - and that is with my credentials and card information saved, so you have to be quick, but you can get it.

I guess I really need to get around to finally building a bench for the press I bought 3 years ago.

Re: Advice Needed

I decided a few years ago to get into reloading. Then, I just didn’t do it. That isn’t exactly true. I bought a press, dies for .308, several hundred bullets in a variety that I know my .308 likes, a few pounds of powder that I know will push the bullets my .308 likes, a couple hundred primers, and a few other odds and ends.
Now, I’ve decided to get into reloading, and I’m just buying whatever is available whenever it’s available. I’ve added 6.5 Creedmoor to the mix. A few weeks ago I picked up 100 piece of Lapua brass and 50 pieces of Peterson brass. This morning, I was able to get 100 pieces of Lapua .308 brass from Natchez (
Still in stock and on sale
) in case anyone needs some. I still need bullets and primers (who doesn’t?).
I’ must getting what I can when it’s available, even if I have to pay a little bit of a premium.
