Powder and primers supplies scarce??

[Craig Larter]

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.

You too...
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!

As to the hoarding I wish I had been in a position to get 6-10 8 pounders of SR7625 and perhaps 5 or 6 eights’s of SR4756 .

Been a good week so far. 5k primers arrived via the pony express, found an unopened 8lb can of 4756 and just scored 2lb Clays and 1lb of 20/28 to go with the 7lb jug I got in a gun deal at Rock Mountain. This should be in the 2021 buy/sell thread but it is directly related to the 20/28 powder as I will be shooting much more 28 gauge than I normally do because I lucked in to a lovely little Perazzi MX28. This gun will take the pressure off my two Parkers.

So now you can let that old beater VHE 28 30” go All BS aside I’d be intrested to see the Perazzi ! While I don’t hold it in as high regard as a Perazzi or Krieghoff we had a Beretta 687EELL two barrel 20/28 set slide they the ship a couple months ago . I’d liked to have had that , but it was in for a good cleaning and to change springs and firing pins .

Sorry Craig, the VHE 28 is staying with me for a while but you're welcome to shoot it whenever we get together.

The Perazzi is built on, what they call, a baby frame. You can kind of compare it to a OO frame. Absolutely the finest gun that I own at this point.

Sending you a PM re: release shoots at FMR.

So the Perazzi frame is smaller than the K-20 frame which I like quite a bit . The 687EELL we had at the shop was just a 20 gauge frame be it from back in the 90’s . I like the long barreled 10’s and 12’s on the 3 and 2 frames , however over a weekend with several hundred targets I’m finding once I get tired my 0 frame 20 and 28 are a relief to shoot . I’d like to find a 32” 20 on a 1 frame but I’d be almost as happy with one on an 0 frame just like I’d be happy with a 30” or 32” 28 on an 0 frame .
