Love to shoot, but I am a workaholic who doesn't get much trigger time. I am cheap so I shoot a lot of un reloadble surplus and wolf.
After a few years I finally make the decision that this year 2012 I will buy my press and learn a new skill and add to my overall shooting knowledge base.
Early December I am patiently waiting for the Cabellas Employee Pricing sale, and then the stooooooooopid hits after Sandy hook.
I have a my press, and I have all the items needed to reload 45, but I can't find powder, primers, or bullets.
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK
I have a 9mm die set but no shell plate
I have a 308 shell plate, but no dies
My midway order for those items and my 223 stuff was pushed back from 2/4 to now 5/5.
On the bright side. I am acquiring odds and ends and I might get powder and bullets by that point.
It looks like I'll be shooting a lot of 22LR and my mosins this year.
My entire hobby is on back order.
Two questions:
Other than reloading manuals ( I am reading the hornady version), what would you consider required reading for someone looking to load the common calibers (9mm, 45acp, 223, 308)?
What is the most frustrating thing you have on order/back order (mine is reloading gear and an OBR).
