no primers for 3006 or hollow points, might get some for muzzle loading gun. but as you know you would need to have a license to get primers and powder.

if you are looking at reloading try google search

Get a good reloading manual before attempting any sort of reloading AND READ IT from cover to cover! Pretty much all the reloading suppliers also publish their own manuals, I've only read the one from Lyman's and can recommend it. Does anyone manufacture/ import/ retails reloading consumables in India (smokeless powder/ primers/ bullets/ brass etc)? I'm afraid not.

As Nagarifle points out - only black powder and percussion caps (for muzzle loaders) are available in India, which are not quite suitable for what you have in mind.

Cheers!
