Cannot find bullets or primers.

I'm trying to reload for 45ACP and have everything but the bullets and the primers. This is all I can find. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/963...-boxes-of-1000 Anyone know of these?

Tulammo primers are good to go. Try SNS Casting for bullets. I just received 2k 230 LRN I ordered on 5/23. shop.snscasting.com

While some folks have had problems with Tula primers, I've shot several thousand with zero failures. That helps explain why there's 10K+ on my shelves.

They seem to be made with a hard alloy, which presents no problem for my pistols; however, there may be problems if you use them in a revolver with light hammer springs. Another note is they fit tight in primer pockets, so make sure they are fully seated 0.003" to 0.005" below the case base.

I started using Tula primers a couple of months ago because that was all I could find. In the last month I would say I have shot 300 or so and have not had an issue. These were the SPP, not the LPP but I would imagine the quality is about the same.

Check Cabelas.com, they normally have a solid amount of stock on reloading components!

To curb what was becoming endless repetition on the subject of shortages, all questions like this are now supposed to be posted in the General forum in the "Where is Everything" sticky. Please post your question there.
