Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 For all the hype about shortages of reloading components, I ordered 1000 38 spl cases from Starline a week ago. Got confirmation that it was shipped and charged to my card. Starline makes runs of certain calibers and can predict pretty well when a certain caliber will be avail. They had said earlier that it would be avail 3/8 and they beat that estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I've not had any trouble finding brass; small pistol primers are a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 GCK, my experience with Starline is the same. They overestimate their shipping date. I wish airlines did the same with the schedules. I wouldn't have trouble with connecting flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I've not had any trouble finding brass; small pistol primers are a different story. The last primer shortage caused most of us to always have at least a couple year's primer supply on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The last primer shortage caused most of us to always have at least a couple year's primer supply on hand. I got into this game last fall and reloading along about November. Didn't realize the election and subsequent tragedy would trigger the insanity that has taken place. I have managed to find enough small pistol magnum primers to last a few months but will be stocking up as soon as I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 No problems with brass, or even primers (thanks to too many years of buying extra whenever I could). However, have you tried to find bullets for 223 lately? My bad I guess. The rifle is fairly new and I had not yet started gathering reloading supplied for it (except for collecting my brass) when all the shelves went empty. Never make that mistake again.
