  1. Now AzShooter is a person all of us reloaders need to be more like. We shouldn't be hoarders but helpers to our reloading community.  I am desperately in need of primers but do not live in AZ. Hopefully some of the reloading community will be helped out by him.

    I did place an order with Trifusion. They sent an update email out, here is some of the content. I also have talked to 2 of the people there an got a good feeling / vibe from those conversations. It is walking out on a limb a little bit, but I have all the other components for this next year, except for primers and 30 cents each is not in budget. 

     

    We are writing to you today to share some insight into what is happening in the ammunition industry. We will be brief and to the point.
    We are seeing unprecedented chokeholds in the supply chain. Demand is far out pacing supply.
    Rest assured though, the entire team at Trifusion Tactical LLC are working hard to create a solution.
     
    Yes, we are literally CREATING new ways to bring ammo and components to the marketplace. Our President, Mike, is traveling to Europe next week to develop the necessary relationships with the necessary people in order to impact this change.
    We are working tirelessly sourcing powder, primers, ammo, etc…We are 100% committed to this journey. We can’t speak in specifics to availability; we’re not certain of anything other than our certainty to get this figured out.

    I just checked with them and they have stopped taking pre-orders on primers. They are nice and they told me that their newsletter is the way to know when pre-orders open back up

    Where the die comes in handy is if you change bullet shape, weight, or manufacture. Once you get the oal you want you record your die setting and you can  go back and it will get you close to the oal you want. I’ve found in 9mm you can get variation as much as .010 plus or minus. If your looking for less than .001 forget it. It used to drive me nuts but I’ve learned to live with it. There are just too many variables that you can’t control. Bullet length, bullet ogive, mixed brass, the way you work the press, and probably more that I can’t think of. The die seats off the ogive and the manufactures get that pretty close, so even though your oal might vary the amount of bullet that in the case is pretty much spot on, and that’s what matters. When loading 9mm after finding your max oal, for that barrel you shorten that by .015, to .020 and call it good. Otherwise you’ll go nuts trying for that perfect oal.

    .02 OAL difference when shooting right at the minimum for minor pf is huge. You may have issues if required to chrono. That is why I am trying to get the variation down.
