You mean bullets, don't you? And yes that is the rumour,, but there are other places and alternatives. I bought 1500 77gn Bergers from Norman on Friday and 3500 77 Sierras from HPS on Thursday. That's them cleaned out now. What are you looking for? I can probably point you in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullets though, not heads....although for some bizarre reason he calls them bullet heads, but there again he is a bit thick :-) Was also in a well known dealers in London the other day and he had 4500 of them n the counter ETA: I see the filter is working hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Panic buying will be the end for all of us if we are not careful. I had someone call round a few days ago who wanted to buy every single Large Rifle primer we had. They would probably have kept him going for the next 20 years as well... We declined the sale.

What might be 20 years to you may well be 2 years to another person All those bullets I bought will be getting passed on to others. We SR shooters go through a lot and I learned years ago to keep ample stocks on hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I notice from one or two of the American forums - there is a lot of 'horse-trading' going on. In other words - if you have a box of bullets, tub of powder etc. that you don't need, get it up for sale or swap rather than left sitting in your reloading room.
