Some sources for brass may be you local shooting range. Although it seems that with the shortage everyone is scouring the range for any brass they can find. Keep a check on local gun shops and ask your shooting friends who don’t reload if they will save you their brass. Prices seem to keep going up even thought the metals market is down, part of this is caused by the nation wide shortage of reloading components and loaded ammo. Hopefully things will slow down and the manufacturers will get caught up and we can once again have the supplies for our hobby in supply again.

If anyone has a source for reloading supplies and doesn’t mind sharing their source, I’m sure that all the readers would benefit from the information. I know from our standpoint and talking to our distributors that the whole reloading supply industry and market is backlogged. Manufactures are running 24/7 in attempt to keep up with demands and hopefully they will get caught up sooner than later.

If you have never reloaded your own ammunition before you have missed the pride in workmanship that comes the first time you go to the range and fire a cartridge that you loaded yourself. Many find reloading allows them quiet time with no distractions to bother them. Once you have purchased or procured your brass (the empty cartridge case) you have the most expensive component for reloading. Depending on how you load and take care of your brass you should be able to reuse it from 6 or 7 times for rifle or bottle neck cases to close to 100 time for straight walled cases. Each time you load you will need new bullets, powder and primers.
