I'd like to see more activity here as well.
But it looks like the way things have been going, reloading could be an endangered hobby, kept barely alive by those who can make their own components. I cast most of my revolver bullets and some for the 30-30....
Powder, if you can find it, has tripled in price in a very short time....
Primers are nearly impossible to find in the usual stores anymore.....
Cases, thankfully, can be reused!

And for some of us, bullets can be recast!

But without a stockpile of powder and primers, things are looking pretty lean.

I have been able to get powders fine, prices have gone up a little, but not a massive jump, im paying 27-38 per pound depending on what I buy
