Ammunition woes..
Posted: Tue Oct 07, 2008 4:46 am
After trying every ammo I could get my hands on for my .204 I ended up using Federal Premium, 39 grain Blitz King. They shoot so well from my Tikka that I really have no reason to reload.
Problem is, I can't find them anymore, no shops have them and the suppliers are saying it will be a bit before they start making them again.
Apparently when deer season fires up they slow production on varmint caliber shells to keep up with the demand of deer loads. A very frustrating position to be in.
If the bullets themselves could be had any easier I would reload, to to avoid this dry spell.
I suppose it is time to bite the bullet and get myself some reloading equipment to consume more time I already don't have..
Just had to vent a bit, while my .17HMR is a fun gun too it just doesn't have that same wow factor I get from shooting my beloved .204.
I hope these guys can get a surplus of ammo soon, this caliber seems to be a very popular one.
