    With antimony coming from China (shortage) and premium shot already going up $8-10/ bag. Where is the line drawn?

    oh PS if you didn’t know it’s going up $8-10 a bag when suppliers get more.

    Looking @ the cost of components, does it really benefit to reload anymore, My favorite factory shell was STS 1 oz of 81/2 @ 1185--used to reload to get that equivalent--no longer reload sold all my loading equipment & components when I moved to Florida

    I live in SW Michigan and went to Schantz Supply in Otsego, Mi today (7/11/25)

    Their cash price for Lawerence shot is $42.95/bag plus tax, I bought 10 bags.

    Plenty of powder, 8# Kegs of Red Dot (yes, Red Dot), Unique, Green Dot, 4# of 20/28, etc.

    Great prices on primers, Winchester, Cheddite, etc.

    The shortage is over!

    fast to rise, slow to fall. If lead continues to fall, we'll see it eventually
