I've got primers I bought the minute Bronco Bama was elected the first time.
I've got a fair amount of brass.
An old pro is going to school me on casting bullets real soon.
I have a few lbs of powder.
I load .44, 9mm, and .38 exclusively.
Normally I stick with Unique, win231, or power pistol.
My wife made her semi monthly 100 mi round trip to town today.
She called and asked if there was anything I needed. I suggested maybe she stop at the gun store, (our LEO supply joint) and JFTH of it, see if they had any of our usual powders.
Strangely enough, she said she had the same thought earlier.
She just called and said no go on our normal menu, but he had something else. He told her it would be just fine for our calibers, it was just a little faster.
I asked what it was. I could tell she was in a hurry. She said she didn't know. And instead of putting her through the paces of getting me the info and me looking it up in "the bible" I just told her to grab a few pounds if he had it.
Given the current shortages on damn near everything, I figure at this point, anything in the stockpile can be adapted or worked with.
I hope I made the right decision. Otherwise, I suppose I could sell it.
I do feel like doing a happy dance though.
