  As this Site grows in members down the road- Something else to consider if enough members here wanted it was the Popular Forum from the Old Site-New York Hunting Regions.

Region 1---

Region 2---

 Down to Region 9. It was definitely  a Forum,I followed often.

Are you dead set  on CCI ? Looking local or to order on line?

What cartridge are you loading?

I used standard LR primers in my 300wsm with totally fine results.    I’m not hunting the Arctic so lighting the load and velocity are easy enough.

The lack of finding the components is what keeps me from starting the process. I'd get frustrated having all the equipment, but not being able to use it.

 Problem with that , is you'll never start then .  Start small , load your most used caliber. Then when you see primers cases etc. for your other calibers buy em in bulk . If im buying primers , i buy thousands at a time .

I have been able to find powder and bullets fairly easily over the last 6 months. The only item I haven’t found is CCI large rifle primers. All my loads are worked up with them. I have 400-500, but will pick another 1,000 when I can.  They won’t have a $32.99 price tag on them like the carton I have!!

The No. 34 CCI's are out there, the large rifle military primers. I know some guys that use them without issue. I picked up 1,000 at a shop in Vt., although I have some others.

I'm having a hard time finding IMR 4198 and H4198 or Reloaded 7 I have a pound IMR4198. I also can't find any Speer 44 cal deep curl or gold dot bullets Hornady is not making the 265gt flat point in 44 cal anymore so I'm looking for another bullet for my 444 Marlin. Pain in the butt

I use the 270 grain deep curls in my 44 mag. i bought up a bunch from midway before covid , so i have a decent stock . They are a great bullet i hope Speer keeps making them .
