Was on my way to go to Brownells this morning as they had a couple of powders i am short on. I started to reload shotgun again and i was out of almost everything. As i was headed west on I80 i figured i would stop in Iowa City at Scheels. I couldnt believe it. They had 209a federal primers. They had at least 6-7 federal gold metal match LRM. Regular large rifle and mag. There were 2 1000 round boxes of CCI br4 Sr.
They had Longshot and hs6 in 1b cans that I needed. So stopping made it I did not have to drive another 100 miles to Brownells. They had a bunch of VV and a bunch of the accurate powders.
So I drove to the other side of the town where there was a Fin & Feather store. They had almost everything from hodgdon except varget. Almost everything Winchester and some accurate. And they had Cheditte 209 cx2000 primers. I grabbed the last 1K box. The powders were normal price at both places. The federal 209 primers were $6.99/100 and the chedittes were $59.99/1K. So not as bad as other places i seen in the last few months.
Now I don't have to swage primer holes in all my cheditte hulls to make a Win 209 fit them.
I also picked up 100 rounds of 2 3/4 slugs for a few relatives that need ammo for deer season next month. Hope they work, they are Sterling 1oz rifled slugs. The only other slugs I seen were some win tac fracturing slugs. $17.99/5! These were $7.99/10.
