Hey everyone, I used to post here as "Paraman1" but after my divorce I sold everything and traveled for several years. My Dad who is nearly 80 has my last long range rifle I built and has started shooting long range again so I am in the process of building a new long range rifle so I can shoot with him as well as setting up to reload again. After a 10 year hiatus it seems a lot has changed and I look forward to catching up on everything I missed.
 
American Reloading has Ginex (Bosnian) large rifle primers @ $450/case (5,000) = $.09 per primer. Shipping/hazmat included. Never used them, just an fyi. Bought a bunch of stuff from them over time, no problems.

Powders may or may not be a problem, depending on what you used to use & if you can get it or an reasonable equivalent.

Powder valley has Ramshot Tac available in 1lb size (8lb are out), @ $42/lb plus $20 shipping plus $23 hazmat. Also may be quantity limited per day per person. Usually would be limited to 4 of a particular product, if so. Anyways ~$52/lb shipped for 4...as an example.

Powders & primers in stores are hit & miss, in my area. S Oregon. May or may not be, depending where you are & where you look.

Edit, adding:***warning on buying online, lots a pop-up scam-o companies!*** Any company that has everything in stock, when no one else does, ANY company that doesn't accept credit cards are scams. About guaranteed.
