Anyone who didn't buy after the last shortage ended was foolish. Naw just be crying hoarders then. LOL

What difference does the price make if there is nothing to buy ? I think there will always be .22's around to buy. The store shelves maybe empty, but the hoarders will sell some of their stock if the price is right. If prices go up to ridiculous highs I would sell some of my stash.

Not sure about a shortage much currently Wally Would had a lot of ammo last month and the .22 LR was priced competitive if not better then other places.

I’m just doing what I always do. If I go to the city I buy a box or two of ammo. Last week I got 500 of 9mm for $10.99 a box.

Can you name anything that hasn't seen a price increase? TVs Going down last 10 years isn't that the Orwell vs Huxley argument two visions of a dystopian future Huxley argues in his essay, "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that we would do just that amuse ourselves while we go down in flames to preoccupied with entertainment to care they were both right

Yeah. I have adequate 22LR what I need is primers. I have not seen primers for sale in Anchorage in several years How expensive is it to ship primers to AK? Also should as are you looking for small rifle? Large? Large rifle magnum? Shotgun? Large rifle have been pretty slim pickings down here, magnums even more so. I run across some but I get around. Shotgun is common as long as Cheddite's are suitable.

Yeah. I have adequate 22LR what I need is primers. I have not seen primers for sale in Anchorage in several years I'm still waiting on large rifle primer prices to come down. I am however nearing the point where I'll just have to pay the outrageous price.

I don't know if we will ever see primers under 85 a brick again I see a lot more 90-115
I sure miss those 20 dollar a brick primers I was getting 7-8 years ago
who would have thought I would be longing for the 45 a brick primers I bought 3 years ago or even the 70 a brick from 2 years ago
I stopped loading 9mm and just started buying it
at 23 cents a round if I have to by 9.5 cent primers and 10 cent bullets it isn't worth my time and 45 dollar a pound powder I just wait for a free shipping and if it takes a bigger order split the order with with a friend.

how do the stores get ammo and components ? clubs around here order pallets of ammo and components then divide among the members who ordered.

Anyone come across any 140-150 grain 7MM STW ammo at a reasonable price let me know it’s getting hard to find it under $100 a box and the lighter bullets are very rare. The 160 grain loads are a bit rough on the whitetails.

I saw some Cheddite 209 primers available on Midway USA but of course they won't ship them. That is the problem I run into every time I was wondering that. I suppose they dont ship to AK because FED ex would send it up there on an airplane. I suppose I could pay some homeless guy to ship 4000 in a USPS flat rate box lol. Pete, the last primers I purchased at Scheels was Remington 7.5 small rifle bench rest primers and I paid 63.80 with tax, on November 6th i got remington 9.5 lrps for 79.99 with tax. If someone has a Scheels nearby they have the best prices and availability. Large rifle and large rifle magnum being the exception. Law Dog I'm going to 100 percent reloading for my rifles. I have a 270 wsm that ammo is almost impossible to find and prices are insane.

the 160's shouldn't be too hard on elk. I used to load 160's in my 7mm mag and they weren't quite up to the task on moose. I switched to the 175 and was much happier It’s fine for elk just wanted to use it on whitetails then the 160s are too much.

Yeah, it's expensive to get the components to reload. If I can find brass for the 270 wsm it's going for 3 to 4 bucks a piece it seems. I just bought a set of redding dies for it that were basically unused for 40 bucks. The rest isn't so bad. I'd never recommend these oddball cartridges to anyone. I won that particular rifle, should have sold it new in box. Now my daughter is attached to it so stuck with it forever.

I have a friend that has some 300 wsm brass that is once fired that I have access to.
There are some Remington new 270 WSM brass on gunbroker. The last batch sold for approximately 3.40 ea plus tax. I imagine I'm going to have to bite the bullet(pun intended) and get a couple bags to start. 200 will last me a lifetime.

You can't find any primers in Anchorage......I guess that includes Fairbanks and all along the road system....S0, no primers to be had in Alaska....That would put the kabosh on reloaders in all Alaska unless they had their own personal stash. As bad as the shortages have been the last few years down here you could always get some from somewhere. Looks like some capitalist entrepreneur could figure out a way to get some components up there, maybe on the barge lines. I've read stories that during WWII the only folks doing any reloading were the ones that had hoarded their own components from before the war started.

Do you mean Pap Charlie? The guy that sells once fired shotshells etc ? No Carlile is a freight company that will do orders large to small. Order something in the lower 48, have it shipped to them and they will get it to an AK terminal in several different cities. I don't know how much it would add to the cost, but then again what is cheap in AK. The problem would lie in the hazmat aspect of primers. https://www.carlile.biz/ship-to-alaska/

I have not looked into them but the problem originates with outfits like Midway or other retailers. They won't take the order because they see that it will eventually end up on a plane. That is the stumbling block. Fortunately I have a friend with his own plane and he brings back stuff that can't be shipped. BUT.....when there is nothing to buy on the Anchorage end it gets difficult

Give Carlile a call, I talked to them this morning and they do hazmat and are waiving their hazmat fee right now. I would tend to believe if they do hazmat they know it cannot go on a commercial airplane.
I believe they do freight by land, air and sea.

how do the stores get ammo and components ? clubs around here order pallets of ammo and components then divide among the members who ordered. My club used to do that but everyone shot basicly the same calibers and gauges plus the wasn't the plethora of choices in powders/primers advertised today which imho is the reason for short supply
