We use a LOT of varget in MANY of our hunting chamberings. I was in a Small Gun shop in Omaha, there very limited supply of powder but. They had some Varget which is about 55% higher than what I paid in 2020 but, even at $51 a pound, I bought all they had.  Dang, but now we have some more...

Congratulations on finding Varget. That's one I haven't seen in a while. The local shop here has primers off and on. The last time I was there they had Federal Match large pistol primers for $11.00 per 100 with a 5 box limit. I hope that's not the new normal. I don't need them that bad. To their credit, a while back they had standard small rifle primers for $6.19 per 100 with the same limit.

I sure could use some Rio shotshell primers. I could make 209a primers work IF I could find them. I have been getting new primed hulls for $.19 each, that's only $.08 more and I get a new hull, and I can get them.

I have only seen shotgun primers at one shop in town. they were Winchester 209's. This isn't big shotgun country. Sportsmans warehouse has had wads and shot through this whole fiasco. Rifle and pistol components, not so much. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

Wads and shot here to but it's lead. Never anything for waterfowl, non tox. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

I didn't think to look for non toxic shot but all I remember seeing is lead. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

By the way D, I still have a box of shotgun loading stuff that Grumpy2 sent for you. Sometimes Ron comes through Gillette on his summer vacation. If he does that would get it closer. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

Cool OR you could have me take you out shooting P dogs at one of my super secret dog town. OR, You could take us to one of yours and we could exchange packages. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |
