Yeah, because all companies are pushing 9mm, .308 and .223. That's what most people want and everything else is on the side burner. All the odd ball calibers are hard to find right now. I have been stockpiling 30-40 for awhile as the supply always comes and goes. I also having been ordering 7.65 Arg. plus 6.5 and 7.7 Jap plus 7.62 russian as this brass is also in short supply with the only company that seems to have it is Privi. I also have been grabbing .311 and .312 bullets when I see them. If you shoot old milsurps grab what you can now because I think it's going to be a long bumpy ride for awhile.

I've been the voice in the wilderness preaching for the last couple of years of stocking up on brass and components and yet here we are again at the same point as 2013-2016.

Powder Valley had seven bags of Win brass a couple of days ago.

I was able to purchase 100 rounds of new Winchester 30-40 brass from Titan Reloading for $28/50rds. Now to find dies...

Lots of adequate dies available on ebay. Might be a good place to find what you need.

Most people are having trouble finding powder and primers. Good fortune to you if you have stocked up on these before the panic!

Also, lots of great posts on KCA about reloading for the Krag. Many of us have enjoyed this part of Krag collecting for many years.

Keep us informed. Good luck.

Just bid on a RCBS two die set. We'll see. Thanks Whig. Primers I got. Powder and projectiles, not so much. What powders and projectiles are recommended?
