Went to a gun show in Colorado Springs yesterday (Sunday). Several tables had Wolf primers for $38, and powder - Hodgdon & Accurate for $25-28.. Not just skimpy amounts, but quite a lot...
Picked up 100 6.5X55 new cases, headstamped "Speer" for $23.
I wonder who made them?? The seller thought they were probably Prvi.. Think I'll email Speer and try to find out..
Of course there was also the usual assortment of "junque" that makes gun shows interesting...

we had a small one close over the weekend very few components... primers ( what there was ) were running $30-up ( 30 seems to be the average when found in stock at most reasonable reloading supplies )no cci except shotgun tho :( but i picked up some win lr and rem 6 1/2's on the last day for 30 ,most ammo especially the m43 round is going high ( $7 avg.)saw alot of lookers too but not so many buying ,i found an old box of norma 6.5 77 grain for $14 ( u know those came home with me lolz )saw some texan bullets too but they were wrapped up for collectors so i left them ...the guy told me the one's i bought were collectors too but i assured him "not for long " perhaps they are but i have been seeing more and more norma bullets in the u.s.
speer used to make alot of brass but usually i thought it was pistol ...

Fryboy, I called Speer and one of their techs said that Federal probably made my 6.5 brass over ten years ago..
