I have been waiting since early April for primers to come in at Midsouth so my order could ship. Today, they finally shipped them. 5 months!

Now at least I'll have enough goodies to outlast the coming mayhem, I think.

One great side effect of being in the tire business now... I have about 60 lbs of scrap lead wheel weights. It's time to start casting some lead ingots.

Eventually I want to get one of those die sets for forming .223 bullets out of spent .22 long rifle cases. Then, once they manage to completely wipe out ammunition sales, I can send some homemade bullets to my reps with a big "Fuck You!" note. :)

Why would you want the bullets to be brass, instead of lead?

brass, instead of lead

IIRC, there's a pre-formed chunk of Pb that inserts into the .22 brass; then, the die forms the brass over the Pb, thus creating a FMJ. I never did it but it would be an interesting endeavor.

What the die set does in turn .22 long rifle cases into FMJ bullets using scrap lead. :)
