The RCBS Rebel Plus reloading kit finally arrived yesterday. I wasn't sure if it was ever going to actually arrive. When I ordered it around December 6th it was the only kit that I could find that I could actually place an order for. It was supposed to be back in stock around January 6th. Looks like they were true to their word. I checked a week later and it couldn't be ordered and had an in stock date of April..... I figured to start with .223. I ordered a die set and it should be here in about 2 weeks. I was getting a little uneasy reading up on reloading with all the different tools available and I didn't have a checklist for what I actually needed but waited patiently for my kit to arrive. I think it'll be a good starter set so I can learn the ropes. I guess the real challenge is just starting.... Hunting down the brass, bullets, and primers. Oh yeah, and powder. So far everywhere I've looked everything is still out of stock. Any recommendations on powder? Hopefully it won't take to long to accumulate the supplies I need to get started. I have plenty of more reading to do while I wait.

If you need projectiles, Arm and Ally has them in stock for immediate shipment, well, they are shipping direct from Hornady in Grand Island, Nebraska. I've purchased a couple thousand already. They are 55 grain Hornday Spire point Boat tails with the cannelure. Very low BC too. Been loading and shooting them for years now.

You can purchase them in 500-1000 and 2000 quantity. They used to offer a 5000 quantity but not any more. Considering how hard it is to get anything today, it might be a good idea to order up some and I believe they also have Once fired Lake City Brass, cleaned, sized, flash hole reamed for sale as well. I don't need any but you do.

Shipping is excellent, I usually get 3 day delivery via UPS.

Great small game / varmint round as well as a plinking round with 322 0r 335 and small rifle primers.

Thanks for the heads up. I got some ordered.
