Try Cabelas for ammo and components, I was able to get some Winchester .308 cases from them. there was a week delay shipping but they came through, however I cannot find any #34 primers so I am using some CCI 200 instead, I will be recessing the primer to prevent out of battery fire.

Hopefully the supply will catch up with demand, I would shudder to think of many people trying to reload with wrong components or substituting powders, people can get hurt.

And I will not buy reloaded ammo from anyone unless they can conclusively prove the quality of it, who knows, for all you know you might just be buying a huge can of bullets loaded with sawdust.

Also keep in mind a good trick during wars is to leave behind reloaded ammo but filled with explosives instead of powder, could happen here in America by our enemies.

Sawdust would have been greatly preferred in one case. What looked like the run of the mill .223 mil spec stuff turned out to have a nasty habit of blowing the head off the rest of the cartridge.

Cause - too much powder, maybe the wrong powder, could have been too long a case, too.

Beware the infamous “Bag O’ Bullets”.
