Stock update-shrinking & a few back orders are trickling in 10 boxes of ammo here and there. If your not at the shop every week then it is gone by Saturday. Have a good supply of 300 win mag on the counter. Nothing in stock at the distributors except for blanks & 50 BMG belted cartridges. 

 I did score 70 boxes of Remington 223 psp 55gr. Shop limit is 2 boxes per person. Price is 22$ ea. What little powder I had at the beginning of the year is near gone. Come Monday I'll call the components distributor to see is any projectiles are on hand.

Remember , I also sell cast lead boolits and rifle boolits with gas checks. Not a lot on hand but enough to hunt with.



Just arrived Today, Saturday 10 boxes of 6.8 Western Nickle plated brass 165 gr AccuBond BT bullet a new cartridge and Browning is offering a Xbolt. 20 cartridges will cost you $60.00 for the premium load. 

 Here's the scoop. January 15, 2021 — Browning introduces the new 6.8 Western caliber in multiple X-Bolt configurations. The 6.8 Western was designed to be the ultimate all-around long-range hunting cartridge and the Browning X-Bolt is an ideal delivery vehicle. The 6.8 Western delivers magnum performance from a short-action magnum cartridge with less recoil than its long-action counterparts.
