Cholla Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I signed up for notifications on Ammo Seek for IMR 4895 and IMR 4064 powder for my incoming M1 Garand. I have received several notifications over the past few days. By the time I get the email and hit the link, the powder is sold out. I shortened my email refresh rate but it still hasn't helped. I have been working from home (except for today) so you would think I would be one of the first to get the deal. Nope. It's funny and maddening at the same time!

Pat Riot Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 One of the reasons it’s hard to get in and get things ordered is “crawlers”. Software programs developed and utilized by individuals and businesses to keep pinging online websites for products. When products they are seeking become available they order it or have their program order it. Have you noticed how long it takes to access some sites? It’s because of the crawler programs pinging sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this moment they have cases of Blazer Brass .45 ACP in stock on a link here: https://www.ammobuy.com/ammo/45-acp-auto You have to buy a 1000 round case, but it is / was available.

I believe it, just the other day my wife and I were talking on the phone about a Cadillac and the dealer, the next day an ad from GM was on her FB page and pointed her to go to the dealer’s website.

Pat Riot Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I have found the best way to find reloading stuff (or ammo) right now is to just check often. Pick several sites you would buy from and check them every morning and afternoon. I was hoping that one of three sites I have “Notify Me” items, like primers, set up might contact me at some point but either I am so far down the list they’ll never get to me or they just haven’t received any. I did manage to guns and buy some primers on a local forum but I paid dearly for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted H4895, but tripped over an 8lb tub of I4350 while picking up my '06, so I bought it. There are some good 75% loads for I4350 in both 243 and 30-06... but the bullets I want are sold out everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I received an email from Midway USA Today that said an item on my Wishlist has been “Discontinued” at Midway. Remington 5 1/2 small pistol magnum primers. Not sure if that is a computer generated notification that gets sent out if an item is out of stock for an extended period or if Remington or the buyer of that portion of Remington has literally discontinued that item.

Vista will likely assign a new number that works in the new IT systems. that makes the old number obsolete, therefore discontinued. Search the site regularly for what you are looking for (in this case "Remington primers" "small pistol magnum primers." When they come in, they will have a new (Vista) part number. And for those reading along and using email alerts from sellers... It can take hours for all of those emails to go out. By the time you get the email, the product is probably already gone. Sign up again and hopefully you are sooner on the next batch of emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
