okay do yall know of any websites that actually has powder and bullets and loading components that wont be back ordered for months.
 
nope on the websites, I've been finding the little I need at present locally. They seem to be able to get at least some stuff in. I keep enough on hand to last many moons (or an occasional war) so I really don't worry about much at all for temporary disruptions. I am short on a couple of things, but I'll shoot for a couple of years without an issue.

im that way with most my stuff but my 338 lpua will be ready in a few months and i need stuff for it.
 
I can't find much online. Yesterday at Sportsmans I found two boxes (250 count) of 300 gr Bergers that they had just gotten in. They would only let me buy one box at $179 + tax. They are slowly trickling stuff in there.
 
Midway has 250gr Bergers and Lapua, Nosler, Norma and Hornady brass listed as available. Hope this helps.
 
I had much the same issue as you, I've got a 338LM on order and have been tracking down components.

Got my Lapua brand brass from Midway, was BO about two weeks. Center Shot Rifles who is a site sponsor (handle: Coyboy) had 4 boxes posted here recently as well. They might still exist.

Got a 50 count box each of 300gr bergers and SMK's from Sinclair Intl. They had the Bergers in stock and the BO SMKs showed up in under 2 weeks (late Jan).

I have been able to find slow powders and magnum primers locally at most places - it is the small rifle primers and 223 powders that are nowhere to be found.

Good luck!
 
I am revising my response to reflect "current times"

I can sell you a box of 338LM brass for $5000. I also have some once-fired 300gr SMKs that I will sell for $4 each, shipping on your dime. I'll have to see how many I can pick out of the berm...

I am thinking "current times" will be over in about 6-8 months, and hoarders will be swimming in components without the space or resources to buy buy buy. At least I hope so . . .
 
Do you need everything, or just brass??? One of my local shops has some lapua brass.... It aint cheap, but from what I see the 338 Lapua really isn't very cheap to shoot to start with.

i have almost everything know it is all going to depend after i figure out a load.
 
I know of a place but it is classified top secret. If I tell you your lifespan would not be long.
I hope the hoarders are out of money so things will get back to normal. Atleast some of the LGS are not jacking the prices on the inventory they due have.
