| You won't see a 16 there lots of reloading supplies at good prices everything else in the shop is marginal at best. Never cared for those guy's. |

Glad it worked out for you Leicadave.
Jan, I can't argue with your thoughts on Shyda's. I won't make a special run there (75 mins one way) but if I'm in the area, I'll stop in and stock up on reloading supplies as their prices are reasonable and they typically have what I'm looking for.
Eight weeks till grouse starts!

And many thanks for the tip on Shyda's!!
Drove over to pick up some powder in that heavy rainstorm on Tuesday and returned with enough powder for my hunting needs for quite a while. Nice folks and a chance to handle a Benelli Legacy 28 ga., another gauge that I like for lots of bird chasing. Keep thinking I may need a 28 auto for the SC marsh hens....
The only bad part was driving thru that heavy, heavy rain for 4 hours on the Pa. turnpike! |

| There was a couple of lbs. of PB on the shelf, some 4756 and 7625 as well. Didn't note what was in the big jugs, however. I'm pretty much loaded for the coming hunting season so 4 lbs. of PB and 1 of 7625 restocked my larder nicely. |
