Went in the shop to load some .45 acp, but, first checked my inventory on those. No need to load any right now, I need to empty some of what I have.
LOTS of those already to go! Some with 5.4gr Universal and a bunch with either 5.6-6.0gr Unique. All with 230gr LRN. Plus, 2-1/2 3lb coffee cans of brass for it. I'm really starting to think .45 acp cases reproduce in the shop! Lordy I have a lot of those. Going to rain all day, might load some anyway.

Gots to be fast on the mouse.

Midway has primers pretty frequently these days, but they still go fast once they show up on the website.

Loaded up 50+ loads of .223 yesterday. Sure wish I noticed that Midway thread in a timely manner although I do have some on hand.

Edit: They had some Federal Premium Gold Medal Small Pistol Match Primers today so I got a brick. I see that they're already sold out.

You could join the Reloading Discord and set it to notify you when certain components, like primers, are available. There are state channels there as well, where you can work out trades with local folks or get intel on what is showing up on store shelves. Because of my state channel, I've managed to snag some bricks of primers locally, saving shipping and hazmat costs.

Under START HERE, go to the #notification-selection channel and click on the different things you want to be notified for.

The #in-stock-notifications channel lists the items that people have posted or bots have found. When it shows up there, you've got to be quick, especially with primers and popular powders.
