Rick No harm in preparing for when you DO have the barrel ! Good luck sir!

They list everything in stock and ask for payment with Zelle. Searching with Google seems to be worthless. All the top pages link to scam sites. Thx. Midway just got in some Win 760. 8 lbs. Might be gone by now

I stocked up on bullets a few years back, so I am good on that. I guess I need to take some tax refund money and stock up. I shoot more 22lr now that I'm shooting in the back yard range (30-yard range) Prices are still outrageously high, and I don't see them coming down any time soon. But, powder and primer availability is the best I've seen in a couple years. Still a lot of out of stock, but at least they're getting regular shipments. Now may be the time to stock up again. Lately, I've been buying powder directly from Hodgdon.

Rick For that 325 gn FTX, I like 36.0 grains of IMR 4198. Same brass and primers.

Get a bigger back yard range ! I can do about 400 yards if I want too. Normally set up for 0-100 yards depending on what I'm doing. I have a few .22 rounds here. Seldom shoot it. Rick

Gotta be careful with the prices you may pay. I won't pay more than 80 for a brick of primers. That works out to about 8 cents each. Bullets too. I just picked up some 45 HPs for my 45ACP reloading. Cost was about .32 per bullet. Add in powder and I'm still under the average price of 55 cents per round if ordered from the cheapest source and still have to add in shipping for HPs. Heck I can reload 9MM cheaper now. Was costing about 19 cents a round before the panic. Off the shelf was about 13 cents a round. I'm at about 19 cents a round only because I bought a crap ton of 9MM bullets and small pistol primers before the panic. I did recently pick up another box of 9MM HPs. 500 HP's at 65 dollars or about 13 cents a round. My small pistol primers were purchased at 45 per 1,000. Picked up several bricks before the panic. So 9MM is still about 19 cents a round. Price off the shelf is about 32 cents a round.

I need to get back into reloading. I kind of gave up on it when you couldn't get any powder or primers. I haven't priced any powder lately. Is it still cheaper to reload?
