Ask the "fact checkers" and believe the opposite of what they say.

My wife and I were traveling today and we made a short detour to a large reloading place. I have a good supply of components on hand but wanted to balance out with another brick of Cheddite 209's I have coming. The place didn't have any familiar shotgun powders in stock except for some oddballs in 1 pound bottles and very few of those. I did however get another case (5000) of 12 gauge Claybuster 7/8 ounce wads, and ten bags of Spartan high antimony 7-1/2 shot. Spartan is made in Spain and RST has started to use it of late. Spartan was priced at $38.95 and some limited West Coast Magnum was in stock at $48.95. Five bag limit/person on either. Then on the way home we stopped at a friend's shop and scored 8 pounds of Alliant E3 - one of my favorite powders - and a 1 pounder of Clay Dot. Both were in the "back room" so to speak, nothing but some random pistol powders on the shelf. A good day! JFI, no 209 primers at either place.

Lack of people to process the chickens has led to increased cost and less availability.

I was at my local sporting clays course yesterday . I wanted to get 10-12 bags of 7 1/2’s from him even though he’s about $5 a bag higher than Mikey was . Anyway my friend has NO shot , NO primers and NO powder . He does however have a few CB wads of which I’m pretty well stocked up . Primers I’m good , wads I’m good , powder I’m good although a couple 8’s of Unique and a couple 8’s of GD would be nice . Shot I’m okay but another twenty bags of 7 1/2’s would make me all warm and fuzzy again

So I just bought at retail prices two 4's (from a national distributor) and two 14oz bottles of clays from a friend locally.. Lead has not been an issue locally. Clay Buster seems to have a reliable supply. Another 5K of Cheddites arrive tomorrow from BP. I've spent $5300 on pistol and shotgun reloading components so far in 2021. Should be good for a year or so. I do need a 4 of Unique which still seems very scarce. PM me if you see any unique for sale at retail price.

I plan to hoard Unique when it finally becomes available again. It seems I picked a *very* bad time to get back into clays... or anything else for that matter. Last time around was in 1986, and I am completely stunned at how different things are today... and not in a good way. BTW Craig, greetings from NF/Buffalo! |
