Reloading Supplies: .45ACP

[Guest Major Caliber]

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question, but here it goes; does anyone know where I can find Federal 150, Large Pistol Primers, 185 Grain JHP bullets (.45ACP) and Accurate #7 powder. I have 2000 pieces of once fired brass and need to load some bullets for practice. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

All I can offer is good luck. I have the same challege for 40S&W for bullets and dies (reasonable price). I have the brass, powder and primers, but no bullets or dies.

Not stupid. Maybe overly optimistic.

The Reloaders Bench has the powder I believe.

[Jonnin]

can't be that picky about the components if you are in a hurry....   I have not seen any accurate powder this year.   Likewise you buy the primers you can find in stock these days.  I have at least 5 brands in my stash now because of the aggravation.

 

That said sportsmans warehouse had some federal primers today but I did not look closely because powder is my current lowest component. 

 

If you are really in pennslyvania, nothing I can say about where to go is going to help much -- I suspect each state has different access to different brands.

Cabelas has Nosler 230 gr JHP. Closest I could find.

David I was hoping to make it up there this past weekend.  Kids had basket ball of the AM and baseball of the evening, and then Sunday I had a funeral to attend.  Are you back in town this weekend for the Expo show?  I do plan to make this weekend come H and HW.

I ordered a set of dies from F&M thanksgiving day. 2 weeks later I sent an email asking about shipping. Reply was, we are behind in filling orders. I got the order saturday. Now I'm looking for a mold for .224.

I assume by .224 you're gonna shoot lead out of your AR? First off I'd like to know how that works for you. I've reloaded and cast for a while but never cast anything that required a gas check. Back in the day people would just about give you gas checks when you were trading other things. Now, gas checks are hard to find.

 

The only production mold for .224 I know of is the Lee Bator and they are hard to find. It's a production model, but I've never seen anyone carry it in stock. I have a feeling Lee kinda quasi makes them to order. I'm sure Ranch Dog or the like would make one just like you want but many $$'s.

This is where mine came from.

After finding gas checks, what a price. The price of a custom mold. I think I'll buy bullets. Thought I'd get out cheaper.
