Steve RA Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/ Powder Valley has some Hornady 75gr HPBT, not sure if it is the exact one you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Did you try Brownell's? They usually have some. I am getting low I had better place an order if it's that hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no affiliation with them. Furthermore, I have never even been a customer to date. Been considering a different .223 load from their offerings recently. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/ammunition/rifle-ammunition/223-5-56/hornady-steel-match-223-75gr-bthp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gungeezer Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 It is part of the "ammo and primer craziness" that is due to the current politcal climate. If you find some I would buy all you can afford. I don't think you will find any in a few months. (Just my opinion based on observations of the current market climate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, that price is high compared to what was available 6 weeks ago. I simply noticed they had some in stock. Like I said, I was looking at other brands and loads at the time.

shootingchef Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I got some last weekend at our Local Academy. just in case it's windy at Texas Multigun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdphotoguy Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Picked up some at Bass Pro in MS a week ago. The shortage is do to knuckle heads spreading rumors that there are or will be shortages, thus causing everyone to buy in mass.

3gungeezer Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) I don't agree with the reasons but facts are facts and there are shortages of all kinds for whatever reasons. Try to buy a BCG and tell me they are as available as they were 6 months ago. Just trying to give a heads up to someone who might want ammo for the rest of the year.

If it is as bad as it was 4 years ago you will be glad you stocked up. You couldn't buy primers anywhere for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcloudy777 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Just FYI, the CMP has brass-cased Hornady 75gr BTHP Match for $120/200, not too awful much more than the steel cased stuff. It's fully reloadable, and damn fine ammo. link DanO Edited April 10, 2012 by dcloudy777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionshooter Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) Its just going to get worse, try and find a lower parts kit right now. 7.62 ammo is a killer right now too, so much for heavy metal......

Vincent C Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I can bring an extra case with me to the Texas Multigun if someone is unable to get what they need by then. PM me for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Sounds like you guys need to reload That is what I was thinking. I could never afford to shoot factory ammo. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Sounds like you guys need to reload I'd agree in principle particularly since I could build a load that is nicely 'matched' to my needs and my rifle. However, I simply don't have the time. Full-time job with nationwide air travel (although for the next 3 months I have Cardiac Rehab), father of 3 young kids, and a part-time masters student at University of Southern California in Astronautical Engineering (aka, evenings are homework filled). Perhaps I'm wrong on the time required. If so, I'll be glad to be wrong!! Capital costs to get started are a modest/secondary concern, not my primary worry. TIme has turned out to be the more scarce commodity than money, oddly enough. But, with what I see so far, I'm doubtful reloading would work for me based on schedule. Again, I'm happy to be wrong if someone can give realistic estimates of what new reloaders need for time. I'd reload both rifle and pistol if I could. Thanks very much.

It takes me about 1 hour to crank out 300 to 500 rounds depending on caliber and brass prep time. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael1778 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks, Pat. That's good information. I will do another analysis. Besides rifle, I'd like to load up some competition pistol ammo that might be more balanced to my power factor needs. The factory stuff I get is over done for my 5" barrel 9mm M&P Pro.

Alaskapopo Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 A dillon progressive set up can make things fast. I usually reload a bunch at once when I get the time and then don't do it for a while. But I have also spent an hour and reloaded enough ammo for a match the next day. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
