Yesterday I took the car for a ride over the Belgium/Netherlands border to visite a gunshop of which I had got good advertisment. About one and a half hour dirve. The guy is also a Dillon dealer and I met him a couple of times at the IWA show in Germany at the Dillon booth.

Came back home with :


10.000 RN ENC 9mm 115 grs Berry's bullets
6.000 FMJBT .22 in 55 grs Hornady bullets for the 223 rem
15.000 Fiocchi SP primers
5.000 Fiocchi LP primers
4 kgs (2x2kg jugs) VV N320 powder
2 kgs (2x1kg bottle) VV N135 powdr
When I got home I went to pour the two 2kg jugs into 4 original VV 1 kg bottles I kept. In fact I managed to fill 5 bottles (up to the rim!) and a half with what was suppose to fill only 4 bottles !
I didn't take the time to check the exact weigth of the powder but I was telling myself that except from the much better price/quantity relation between the 1 or 2 kg packages, the manufacturer either gives us too much in the 2 kg pack or not enough in the 1 kg pack !

Anyhow, can go on reloading for a moment now...

You are going to be on CNN with all those powders and primers, Charly.

How much are powder and primers running overseas?

I have never in my life been able to afford those kind of purchase quantities. Even if I starved my family to do so...

Good for you, Charlie! I'm happy to see some folks are managing life very well. :)

I will be using those components anyhow so I prefer to buy in bulk and get the best possible price for quantities then buy each week/month what I need and pay top bucks for the same .

To European criterium I paid "cheap" prices:
primers went for € 27/K
N320 went for € 62.5/kg
9mm 115 grns Berry's went for € 60/K
