Here I am (for years) buying components, powder, primers and such from the Internet and lately getting screwed on ancillary charges like stupid high shipping and/or dealing with stick it to you vendors that obviously get enjiyment in making reloaders squirm...
I've always bought my factory rifles from the same shop, been in the a million times, know the owner personally and I've never seen any reloading components inide...
So we were both at a function and I got to talking to him about the current gouge the consumer policies Internet suppliers have seemingly adopted, not all, but most or so it appears to me.
I mentioned to him the scarcity of propellants like Retumbo and H100 and how primers have seemed to magically vanish.
Then he says to me, "You need components" to which I replied, not at the moment, I just took another screwing from an Internet supplier but I have what I require for now.
He replied to me..... "When you need propellants or primers, call me. I just sold 32 pounnds of H1000 to a couple of my customers and far as primers are concerned, I only sell in 1000 lots", to which I replied I usually buy 5000 at a time.
I'll be getting my components from him from here on out. Sure I'll have to pay sales tax (6%), but no Haz-Mat and no inflated ship cost. BTW, his Federal LR Match primers are 34 a box of 1000.
Sometimes I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel..... I'm done with the Internet concerning components. Bruno's, Precision and the rest can KMA.
