You will find reloading supplies just as hard to get as factory ammo.Is it still worth getting into reloading?

That's kind of what I was afraid of. Just bad timing. I went ahead and ordered the Lyman manual and watching youtube videos but I guess we'll see what happensYou will find reloading supplies just as hard to get as factory ammo.
Start getting into it now and you will be ready for the next shortage.That's kind of what I was afraid of. Just bad timing. I went ahead and ordered the Lyman manual and watching youtube videos but I guess we'll see what happens
On GunBroker they are listed at those prices.The primer costs more than the bullet?
Are there actual bids on the primers at that price?Over the weekend had a friend ask about reloading some 9mm for him.
Told him bullets and primers were in short supply and expensive.
Last night I looked and ran the numbers.
WOW. I was amazed were things are now.
I had heard about primers being stupid high and bullets about the same.
If you were starting from scratch, I think I have all listed below.
Rounded up for shipping, hazmat, etc.
.01 Powder charge (about any)
.055 9mm brass (range brass)
.082 115 gn. RN Bullet (6-8 delivery)
.12 Small pistol primer (GunBroker)
.267, or .27 per round
The brass may be high. I don't for sure. that was a quick look a few places and that was lowest I found.
What is amazing is that in most of 2018 and all of 2019 you could have it delivered to your door for .16 to .17 a round.
Yes!Is it still worth getting into reloading?

I have seen some way overpriced items posted for sale, but dont consider it to be the going rate unless people are actually paying the prices.
In the last month i have scored 5k spp and 5k srp for normal pricing using in stock notifications. I wouldnt pay gunbroker prices. Thats as bad as cheaper than dirt.

That sucks.Yes, people are buying them at that price because they need them to make ammo. If it between 120 a brick or shutting down production, you pay it.. or rather you pass the cost onto the end consumer.

I'm probably not going do much, if any, hand loading any more as I do not get the opportunity to shoot much. If anyone around here is interested in purchasing what I've got (including powder, etc.) I'm up for making a deal. I'm going to the "for sale" threads in the next few days, weeks, etc. and put an add up.
Settle for nothing short of rona pricing!I'll have to check what I've got.
