Another shortage
Silly ol' me, went to order some .357 magnum brass, not a round to be had anywhere on the net. Guess guys must be hoarding it along with their .22 rimfire. Whattheheck makes .357 brass so special?
Re: Another shortage
I'm supposed to be making a pickup at one of our distributers thursday provided he has enough to make it worthwhile for me to make the 200 mile each way trip !
Think we have about 300 pounds of powder on the order and a bunch of ammo along with wads primers and perhaps some shot . Went up there maybe a month and a half ago . Not exactly something I wanna do every month .

Guess the hundred .44 mag. brass I just got from Joe Miller was a good buy.

Re: Another shortage
Funny thing. I had all kinds of brass for sale a couple of months ago or so again at rock bottom prices and it took me a month to get rid of it. There was .357 in the bunch. How many you want? Next time I go down to my buds gunshop, I'll pick some up.
For 357, I'm figuring about 50 bucks a thousand, postpaid.
9mm. 223, 38 Spl, and 40 S&W will run 40 a thou.---6.

Re: Another shortage
I was in the same boat a few weeks back. A generous forum member came to my rescue.
Try posting a WTB in the classifieds.
A couple weeks back I was looking for .41 mag. brass. I found that at Bass Pro Shops and at a good price too.

Relax, everything here in SE pa. Is back to normal. My bud has cases of everything for sale so it's a matter of time for it to reach you guys in the West.
If you run short and are in a desperate need, drop me a line.----6

Shirk in Lebanon PA and Parks in Advance NC don't make that seem overly apparent when I'm trying to get stuff for customers .

Re: Another shortage
Sr. Six; 86'er set me up with 500 of the 38/40 Improved Rimless Short, and I got lots of 9mm, 38, 357 otherwise I'da sent some green your way. Yes I was surprised it didn't go within a few days too. Guess I spent to many nights with the headlamp on the range looking for and scrounging brass.

Re: Another shortage
My friends used to to do maintenence on one of the indoor ranges in Phoenix.
I walked away with 5 gallon plastic buckets full of brass ( in pistol calibers)
I still had to buy .32 Long, ( it was not a popular caliber)

Re: Another shortage
Well it hasn't made it west of the Mississippi yet. Powder is non-existent around here. My local shop I usually buy from said they haven't got any powder in for 8 weeks.Sixgun wrote:Ollogger,ollogger wrote:I was well stocked 5 or 6 years ago, but my powder supply is going down

since when?. can't you just set up an empty brass insurance exchange and compell everyone to buy brass at whatever price you dream up?6pt-sika wrote:Does me no good to buy at retail for resale .

Re: Another shortage
Why would I charge myself the hazmat fee ? That's part of the reason to go and pickup . My usual fuel bill up ANC back runs about $80-90 . My usual delivery charge when Park's has stuff is $60 provided we have $1500 atleast delivered . Typically my gunsmith buddies shop covers half the fuel or delivery and my other friends gunship covers the other half . I get my stuff at cost and generally a little something for my time .mikld wrote:Do you charge yourself a Hazmat fee?6pt-sika wrote:I'm supposed to be making a pickup at one of our distributers thursday provided he has enough to make it worthwhile for me to make the 200 mile each way trip !

Re: Another shortage
I do not go to our distributors typically for brass . I go for powder , shot , wads and primers . Sometimes bullets and factory ammo as well . As to setting the price at "what I dream up" , if that were the case and would work I'd be a rich man just selling off what I have for my own use .Grizz wrote:since when?. can't you just set up an empty brass insurance exchange and compell everyone to buy brass at whatever price you dream up?6pt-sika wrote:Does me no good to buy at retail for resale .

Re: Another shortage
6pt.... you're wound up pretty tight, I was trying for the levity thing, you know, making a joke. I'm sorry if that offended you, no offense intended.

Re: Another shortage
Hey 6pt, it was a joke! Of course any sane person would drive that distance for a supply of powder and without paying the Hazmat fee.
