I was in Houston today (used to live there) and had to kill a couple of hours, so I visited the various reloading shops where I used to buy all my stuff. The first one was a small shop, and they were out of primers still, but had a lot of brass (no 223) and a lot of bullets (but not much in .224). Then, off to the big store on Treshwig. They had quite a lot of gunpowder, but not the H335 I was looking for. They had lots of 4350 and 4064 and assorted others. I picked up some 6.5 bullets (Nosler) and some 40 gr Sierra. The .224 bullets were mostly sold out, though they had plenty of bullets for the 22 Hornet. I didn't ask about primers.

Both stores were out of most all of the basic reloading tools and presses and reloading dies.

Just as I was leaving that little store, one of the women working there was fiddling with her computer and let out a loud scream. She had just gotten a shipment report on reloading supplies and they had a large batch of stuff on the way.
