Anyone who didn't buy after the last shortage ended was foolish.

I guess I'm OK for a few decades on hunting ammo. Just may have to change guns now and then. It the world gets turned up side down and rule of law is gone I have enough .22 to feed the family for the rest of my life.

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.

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

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.

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.

I wonder if a club could get a shipment of primers , powder and projectiles as well as ammo.

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 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.

at 100 dollars a box it might be cheaper to buy a 308 to shoot deer
pay for it in your first 5-6 boxes of ammo saved

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.

You might have to make it from 300 wsm ......if you can find that.
I think Winchester discontinued manufacture of the 270 wsm brass

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.

Ken have you looked into Carlile?

They look cheap enough, I don't know about the hazmat portion though.

That's tough. 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.

I haven't been in Fairbanks to look but the only primers I have seen in Anchorage were actually black powder caps. I've been looking every time I get there. Been at least 5 years since I found any to buy.
Been trading powder for primers here

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.

VISTA Outdoors, who now own a LOT of ammo and component companies, and are now foreign owned, just announced 1%-10% increases starting January 1.

In light of double digit inflation, not as bad as expected.

OHHHHHHhh Carlile .......... My dyslexia was kicking in and I read that as Charlie.

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.

But if Carlile gets it to Anchorage by truck......how would they move it past that point ? I will give them a call.

Once it's gets to Anchorage that's your problem lol.

I do believe they have terminals in other cities in AK as well.

they might but it would still have to fly to get here.

Probably best to continue smuggling after dark

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

Possibly but in reality it was all by private aircraft over the years
