So, Missouri Bullets 100's of molds have been paired down to 14. The 480/475 bullet didn't make the cut. They are out. A few days ago, googled around the net and couldn't find any in stock elsewhere. Plan-B was the ACME's. Similar but heavier, more shank with slight bevel. Have some left of the ones I tried late last year, so not a new bullet for me really, just little used. If you haven't bought bullets from ACME, they come in neat little wooden boxes, bubble wrap and cardboard packed. The wife LOVES the little wooden boxes. I should probably order more so she can have more little boxes ?

I just cast a bunch of miha 477-640 large hp’s. They weigh 386 grains powder coated. Let me know if you get in a bind.

A very nice offer. Thank you. Think that the bullet Sixshot makes. I have a few 1oo from him here yet. I like the 340gr Missouri's as "play" bullets. On 8-8.2 grs of Trail Boss, I get a 44spec like load with another 100 grs of bullet. Big BOOM fun. Am just trying to stay a bit out front on this.

I like to cast in this cooler weather. I try to make enough for the year in the fall. Then will top off anything that is low in the spring.

I still haven't found anyone that sells HP cast bullets for the 475/480.

Oh, the ACME's I ordered and received, came by way of Titan Reloading.

On the way to work yesterday, stopped at the nearest and smallest LGS. More of a tackle shop really, but they have a small stock of bullets, powder, primers and shot. No Power Pistol that I am low on. So grabbed an also flexible LB of A2400. Two price stickers tell me it was recently marked up form 24.00 to 25.75. Not too bad. Primer sales limited to 200 per customer and no CCI. My preferred. So grabbed 2 little packs of WLP. I've had to resort to WLP a couple of times over the years, am ok with them.

WHAT HAS EVERYONE LEARNED FROM THIS THEY DID NOT LEARN DURING THE FIRST GULF WAR; THE SECOND GULF WAR; THE FIRST .22 LR SHORTAGE............................ I truly don't get it. I see guys plan out the finest of custom guns, but can't foresee the need to buy primers, etc ahead of time. I've vowed this go around not to give out anything. Looking at the big online distributors, almost nothing in stock. Bullets, primers, handgun ammo, rimfire, etc are gone.

I WAS NOT LOADING MUCH OF ANYTHING THAT I NEEDED STANDARD SMALL PISTOL PRIMERS FOR, THEN I GOT INTO RELOADING FOR THE 327 AND I GOT CAUGHT SHORT, FORTUNEATELY WAS ABLE TO BUY 2,000 CCI 500's FROM MIDWAY A FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT EVEN MIDWAY HAS DRIED UP ON MOST PRIMERS. CURTAILING MY CF REVOLVER SHOOTING, THANKFULLY HAVE A ZILLION 22 LR's FROM BACK IN THE 22 LR DROUGHT.

I'm fairly well stocked, but the panic really is contagious! The virus pushed the timing up a couple months, and the severity up a dozen notches, but EVERYONE knew election year means shortages.

I'm afraid this is going to be a loooong dry spell this time. I think we are going to see some crazy prices from the scalpers. It's already happening. A good supply of 22 ammo can ease the pain!
