Sources for components in Austin?

[NcongruNt]

So I am trying to find a local shop that carries reloading components. Right now, I'm specifically looking for Speer .224 70 grain Semi-Spitzer (1053), but it would be nice to know about what reloading shops are around in general.

I like to get powder and primers from McBride's. They have a relatively good selection of Speer bullets, but the 1053 is not part of it. I'd ask if they could order some, but there's been no one working the reloading room for the past 3 months when I've gone up there.

Cabela's simply doesn't carry Speer bullets for some reason. I have no idea why.

Any Austin-area folks have any suggestions for other suppliers?

The guy who works the reloading room at McBrides is usually downstairs in the gun room. You just need to ask for help in reloading when you walk in. He'll be upstairs once he's finished with whomever he's helping.

I know his name, but I'm having a major brain fart at the moment. I'll edit this later on if I can think of it.

As far as I know there aren't any other shops that carry reloading supplies in the Austin area. However, there is a new gun store in Georgetown (Guns +) that says they will be carrying a good bit of reloading stuff once their powder magazine is installed.

Decent/"OK" prices. And they do allow for "local pickup", so you save shipping costs.
