J&K Bullet Casters in OKC for cast bullets, Berrys Manufacturing for Plated bullets, Powder Valley for powder and primers. The Wolf primers have been shipping pretty quickly and are pretty good.

J&K for me too, and I noticed on Powder Valley's web site today that they are "officially" taking walk in orders so the Haz-mat fees don't have to be paid on primers and powder.
I've been doing the walk in deal for several years now, but they acted like they didn't really like to do it, and had no real store front or office to do it. We would just drive up there and knock on the door. Don't know why that was such an issue with them, but maybe sombody got to them and they see the light now?

Its about 6 or 7 miles east of Winfield Ks on a county road that is blacktopped. Its not 50 miles north of the state line, more like 20 to 25.
They do not carry lead shot, but do have all the other components to load shotgun shells.

i have been loading 45acp for quite a few years. With decent bullets, brass and resonable care I don't think I have ever found a bad load. I have had to change recoil springs on 11's.

You can cut 3006 brass down and case trim to length. The brass is thicker and will handle higher pressures with out spliting.
