RanchRoper's Reloading Ruminations

[RanchRoper]

Jackpot!...found a Universal source....18 x 1lb jugs in stock.

Universal and Universal Clays seems to be the same thing....looks exact same...can get an 8 lb jug too, cheaper that way

[CT_Shooter]

Universal is also known as Clays Universal. There are three blends of Clays, Universal being one. The other two are Clays and Clays International.

This is the link to the Clays information, but Hodgdon makes visitors agree to terms before letting them into the site and you will probably be re-directed to their Home Page. Just type Clays into the Search Box and you will be directed here: https://www.hodgdon.com/products/smokel ... ys-family/

Will likely just order a bunch of 1lb jugs. Thanks...

Pretty soon RR will have all the powder north of the border to.

I just scored the last 4lb jug of Universal I could find online in Canada....on it's way to me!

Tomorrow I will order another couple of bags of 200 gr lead projectiles....500 per bag. Should fix me up for awhile. Got tons of brass and lots of primers still.

Good on you!

I keep looking at an 8 lb jug of Unique setting on my LGS shelf - but I am still on the long side of an 8 pounder I already have and am 'kind of' planning on eventually gravitating away from Unique to an equivalent, but different brand of powder such as RamShot.

I bought a 4 lb jug this time last year and still have about a half lb left. Plus I have a 1 lb jug unopened. So the extra 4 lbs coming will do me awhile. Glad to find some more. Never know when stuff might dry up here in gun-unfriendly land.

Just checked a few online places here there pretty well deleted of most of the powders

[RanchRoper]

Ordered 1500 pieces of 200 gr lead, and another box of 1000 primers. All set.

[CT_Shooter]

I'm just curious. Is a HAZMAT fee or something similar applied to shipments of primers and powder in Canada?

Don't think so just cannot ship by mail. Has to be courier.

[Rifletom]

RR, you're probably doing the right thing. A lot of ammo and component buying going on down here. Get it while you can. Just because of this "bug" we are in trying times it seems.

[RanchRoper]

Yes I saw lots of "sold out" in the powders and factory ammo.

[CT_Shooter]

Can't ship by mail in the states, either... but also can't ship by carrier without the HAZMAT fee, usually $25 per shipment.

Just got my lead and primers....fast!

[RanchRoper]

My 4lb jug of Universal should show up this week. Still have a little left in the other 4 lb one, and another 1 lb unopened. Lots of lead, brass and primers on hand. Let the good times roll!

just curious .... do you ever think back and wish you'd of started rolling your own much earlier ..

[RanchRoper]

For sure, but I may not have had years worth of factory brass though....

[BigAl52]

Its all us enablers who pushed you over the edge now youre draining Canadian supplies of powder and bullets

[Mistered]

This can be a good problem to have - but most of us collect more brass than we will ever use!
