Do you know why IMR powder cannot be found anywhere?? IMR 4895, 3031, and 4064 are “on backorder” at every supplier I have checked!

All three powders are suitable for loading modern military rifle rounds, thus everybody has stockpiled. There are others, but the loads require some work with limited supplies for testing.

If you think powder is a problem, just try to find primers.

I purchased 2 lbs of 3031, a lb. of Unique and some shot shell primers on Tuesday.

Bought them from a small local firearm/ammo dealer. He had just received a shipment.

Finding brass has been tougher, but I finally got what I felt I needed. Some of it was once fired, but it will work fine.

Still have a few items that I need. Guess I will never have “enough”.

Local banker friend of mine told me he had over 1,000 rounds of 30-06 brass loaded. He likes M1’s. hee hee hee
