Reloading Component Tourism?

[marksman1941]

We have to the shortages last so much longer without internet order capacity. Especially if you're the Percentage of the population that doesn't live in the Matsu valley. Limits can hurt when your in town for a limited time.

I'm sure there are several of us up here that have shipped so much stuff to their family in the lower 48 they've put them on watch lists...

My wife calls me an Arms Dealer. She's not from a shooting household and there was an adjustment period for sure. She said she had never seen such a volume of boxes coming and going from a household, and she still isn't aware of half the stuff that comes through the house. It's just part of the game.

I feel that if you didn't make a point to stop off at various outdoor shops to check- you'd be short changing yourself. I try to as much as possible, even if I am flying- but then I have something shipped depending on what it is. Always cool walking into a shop- and lo and behold- finding what you never expected to !!!!

Hi Dan

When I visit my son in Colorado Springs, I always check out Scheels and other local gun shops. I have a son in Kansas City, but wild horses could not drag me there.

Yep, all the time!

I guess that maybe I should start? memtb

Somebody pulled off interstate at my local gun store and cleaned out the Varget. Highway robbery.

Anyone else do this? Had a quick weekend road trip out of state and I couldn't help myself: Checked the local Sportsman's for stuff they might have in stock. Found 4 boxes of Berger OTM 77gn Tactical bullets sitting on the shelf. Haven't been able to find them online! Laughed at myself and got the full eye-roll from the beautiful girl I'm lucky to be with. Anyway, it's become a habit on road trips and I'm heading east for the Eclipse next month so I'll have to leave a little room to bring home souvenirs from Texas or Oklahoma!

No components in Texas, I suggest saving the gas and going straight to Oklahoma

I scored 2000 Fed 215 Magnum primers a while back at the Sportsmans Warehouse off of Cajalco and the 15 for $86 per 1000(I'm about 7 miles south of there in Horsethief Canyon Ranch off of the 15).Good to know there's another shooter in the area,used to live in Costa Mesa and retired 2 years ago after 19 years of working as a diver in Newport Beach.

I must say there's nothing like the thrill of finding something you wanted "in the wild" when you didn't know it would be there! Finding things online takes all the joy of in-person spontaneous discovery away!

Wow! That's all I got!

In looking closer, my 45-70 would like to get "romantic" with that keg of RL 7. memtb
