I love talking to customers as I get to learn so much from them about new ways of doing things and share our best practices for reloading.
When the customer learns that we sell other reloading components like bullets and powder, I always get the comment and question that is “… can you get me 8 pounds of Powder XYZ 1000 as I have been looking for it forever?”
At this point I go and check and sure enough I do not have it in stock nor do any of the vendors that supply me. It is also very clear that Powder XYZ 1000 is not going to be in stock any time soon.
At this point we start talking about the specific cartridge the customer is trying to build and why they want the specific powder, primer, bullet, etc. they are looking for.
In many cases, the cartridge they are looking to replicate is one that they worked a load up for many years ago. Well, many years ago reloading components were plentiful (and reasonably priced). Not any more!
Therefore, we have to change with the times and Be Flexible in Our Reloading Recipes!
This means being willing to try a new powder, primer, or bullet type that is in stock and available. Yes, it will take a little effort to work up that new load but with all of the great reloading data that is now online from the powder manufacturers and blogs, you can get a load that is pretty close to what you had before.
