In other threads I sought and received help for a falling block .45-70. Finally decided and bought, couldn't be happier, so far. I have brass, pri$ey Winchester brass. After a long search I have powder, H4198 to start. The next hunt was bullets, but located 300gr coated and 405gr on the way. Now, LR primers .Virtually unobtanium
Semi-score. Dixie gun works (no idea how I landed there) has/had Remington 9-1/2 large rifle primers. Yay. Otherwise I could not fire the new rifle. Ready?
100 @ $9.50. ugh, Maximum, 2 boxes, $19. Excuse the pun, bite the bullet. $7.95 shipping, now at almost $27 for 200 sales limit. [sigh]
Oh yeah. $30 hazmat fee. Now I'm feeling ... taken advantaged of. BUT. I have beautiful new Sharps 1874, everything except out of stock factory ammo and everything reloadable except ...
primers. {sigh} $57+ for 200. Take it or leave it. 200 limit, so no bundling to offset hazmat. How bad do I want to shoot my new acquisition? Bad enough. Not proud.
