Thread: Components newbie

ADI powder has just been / is being distributed around the country so should be available for a short time at a store near you.

Distribution of more 'exotic' powders is sporadic and is much more expensive. Ie 1 lb of Hodgson retumbo is about $100. 1Kg of ADI 2225 cost me $154 yesterday. Retumbo and 2225 are the exact same powders just packaged by different companies.

Large rifle primers are not available at all commercially and you will require a GC to help you out finding what you need. Maybe buy some knee pads and lipstick to sweeten the deal.

I've found projectiles when I've needed to. There are some 7mm that is hard to find at the moment but if you are using hunting quantities it really not that bad.

The hardest thing is the Fear Of Missing Out mentality that tempts most of us to buy/stock up on way more than we rationly need. It's a real thing and it is only amplifying the problem.
