I began setting up for making a few 30-06 Garand reloads today.
I found bullets at Gander Mountain, in Triadelphia WV,
they had only one box of Hornady 30 Cal, 150 gr. FMJ/BT, $32.89
they had no powder, no primers, and no brass well no brass I was interested, very little selection.
Then I found some powder and more bullets, in Everett Pa, Juniata Trading Post. wasn't looking for powder but they were selling for I think $30. +or- a pound!
They had a large selection and qty of powders, I purchased a lb. of IMR 4895 for reloading the Garand bullets and another 100 Hornady 30 Cal, 150 gr. FMJ/BT. $29.99.
They also have a large selection of bullets, no brass, no primers.
I have a
1lb of powder IMR 4895... Should have purchased a few more
200 Hornady 30 Cal, 150 gr. FMJ/BT.
1,000 CCI Magnum large rifle primers FYI purchase at Gander Mountain, in Triadelphia WV, 2 weeks ago $64.00
1,000 CCI Large rifle primers Purchased at Nations gun show Dulles for $125.00 3 weeks ago.
40 pieces of Brass "30-06 SPRG FU or FO, Purchased at York gun Show last week for $12.00
14 Pieces of Brass "Greek HXP 68 once shot, by me.
So tonight I will work out sizing the brass. Little concerned about that, understand getting it correct is key to keeping the Garand healthy, and not blowing my face off!
