Subject: Re: PRIMER AND POWDER AVAILABILITY?

I haven't had any problems finding powder here in Alabama. Primers,
on the other hand, are not be to found anywhere in the state!

Everyone I've talked to from Huntsville to Mobile expects to see
shipments of primers by mid-April.

Ditto for every mail-order company I've ever dealt with, from Midway
to Wiedner's. Hopefully these folks will have primers before the
local boys do.

Brass? All military rifle calibers are unavaliable. Pistol brass OTOH
seems to be pretty abundant.

I haven't had any trouble finding bullets, both pistol/revolver
and rifle calibers.

I suspect that by early summer the 'market' will have rebounded and
things will be back to normal.
