I reload everything I have excepting the rim fires.   

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my hobby/enjoyment is loading and shooting obsolete cartridges.  Many of them are no longer available and I have to form the brass as my first step. 

Here's some of my rifle cartridges loaded, 22 Hornet, 223, 22-250, 243, 25-20 WCF, 280, 7X57, 32-40 Ballard, 30 WCF, 38-55 WCF, 375 WCF, 307, 308, 30-06, 338-06, 303 Brit, 30-40 Krag, 358, 8X57, 33 WCF, 40-82 WCF, 44 WCF, 45-60 WCF, 45-70 Govt and a couple other obsoletes.   Don't load any of the new wonder mags.

Pistol, 32 S&W & other obsolete ones & modern here and there up thru 45 ACP.

So far, I've been able to use out of my stash.  I have friends in the west who tell me the shelves are bare.  One in So Dak where I hunt pheasant tells me there are no primers to be found and the shop he goes to is out of powder with months of backorder.

Has that been true for reloading components in the Delaware and PA area?

Primers, except shotgun, are scarce or more correctly, absent.  Called King Shooters in PA; some shotgun primers only.  Heard that Xring in Newark had primers, but apparently not CCI. Natchez SS, online, had a 1000 CCI primer pack for $40 + $17 shipping + $27.50 hazmat fee =~ $79.  Since there was a limit of 2, I passed.  If anyone knows where I can find CCI #500 in northern DE, please sound off!

I have a Spanish Star 9MM Largo pistol manufactured in 1953. I keep all the brass as the cartridge is longer that a standard 9mm. Do you think you could reload some for me. I know that I will probably have to find primers unless you have some.

Also have .223 or 556 which ever you choose to call them cartridges that need reloaded. Any possibility here?

Hey seniorgeek

is that star9mm the gun that looks kinda like a 1911? If it is I was thinking of getting one. Thanks for the heads up about the ammo. I thought it took just regular 9mm. Is there a way a smith can modify it to work with normal 9mm ammo.

Yes, it does look like a 1911. It does take the extra long 9mm cartridges. They are still available as I just bought 1000 rounds for $250. Very reasonable based on what other ammo is selling.
