Bay area reloading stores?

[JoeC]

I was going to go up to Chico this weekend to visit my grandparents. My grandpa was going to teach me to reload. Of course the store he frequents is all out of reloading stuff, powder, bullets, primers, etc.

He has enough to reload some but nowhere near what we had planned on.

The critical component is bullets; .45 for .45ACP reloads to be exact.

I know of several gun stores in the bay area, but I know of none that also stock reloading supplies.

Before I go gallivanting across the county seeing what store has what I thought I would ask here which stores, if any, actually stock reloading supplies.

I'm not expecting anything to be in stock, but I'd like to check and see anyways.

This is kind of a last minute rush because I'm heading up this weekend. If there was plenty of time I would just buy online.

In the end we may just do the small amount possible, get some stuff online, and do more later.

Yep - they had a new shipment of powder in late last week. Still had some primers in last time I checked. Here are some excerpts from their mailer:

H110
H322
H4198
H4350
H4895
Accurate 2230
IMR 7625
Reloader 10
Reloader 25
Red Dot
Blue Dot

I have been told that we have primers in transit... these will include large pistol, small rifle, and large rifle. As I hope you know, we still have a large quantity of Federal small pistol primers in stock.

The pistol ammo shortage of late has been caused, in part, by mfrs filling Mil & LE orders. The situation is looking better now, and we should start seeing more ammo in about 1 month. For now, we have some S&B 9mm, AE .40, and Spear .45 target ammo in stock. For the .223 fan, we have a good supply of Hornady ammo ranging from steel cased training ammo to match grade ammo. I can't guarantee supply, so get it while we have it!

As always, thank you for your business and your trust.
