I done it. I got me a old cast 6 hole Lyman turret press and it is in great shape. The old man said he has had it since the 70's and he used it made a dozon rounds. Now all I need is everything else!

Yeah it seems to be in like new condition. I got a few sets of dies. I am now looking at getting powder and primers. I hear that in the near future that the powder may be made to last only 6 months, but I don't know if there is any truth to that. Never the less supplys are next on the list. I figure dies and other componets will always be around.

Myth can you imagine the liability the powder co. would be dealing with having a squib round because the powder was 6 month old.

Nice score on the press now the fun starts <thumbsup>

Well I got up to Sportsmans today and the shelfs are empty. I was able to get 600 large rifle primers and 2 pounds of H322 other then that all tey had was shot shell componets. I was looking for some H110 and did not find it. I guess it is bad to net ordering.

Local Sportsman's Warehouse has stated that they are now rationing powder and primers.

I was a few months off on my predictions, when I told everyone to estimate what you needed for 2 years supplies and then purchase double that by September.

I'm a few years off on the second part of the economic crash.

We lost our Sportsmans a few years ago :( Have to drive about 400 miles either way to get to one now. Some Canadian Company bought them out and they do have product but prices are a little higher. I bought some powder from them and then saw it for 5 bucks cheaper at anther place :o Well had to buy it there also <laughs>

The douche that did own Sportsman's was using the Kenysian economic model...borrow to buy, then use that as collateral to borrow more, then buy, then borrow, never paying anything off, always using credit.

When the crunch hit all their suppliers said "Cash ONLY!"  The single main reason half the shelves in every department were empty.  Entered bankruptcy, got bought by the Canadians...who ONLY use cash, closed the borrowed stores and are back on good footing in the black.
