Ammo and reloading supplies will continue to be tight....

[Tripplet918]

Even though ammo and primers have started showing up, social factors and the psychology of the masses arent changing any time soon.

The trend of selling over 1M new guns monthly is still going strong.

My own research on some other stuff have the same results. Demand and supply are at heads with each other. Companies arent producing a lot of stuff as much as they want constricting supply, and the country is flush with free money that puts demand on steroids.

I disagree. I ordered 5, 000 rounds of 556, 9mm.45acp from natches and preppers . I'm in SC now but all calibers were available including 300 blackout I don't reload so maybe?there is a shortage there

I disagree

Alot of the inventory in country, is from outside the country. The cost to import/ship these brands in is high, but the demand is there and the market will bear the additional cost for now.

As US manufacturing catches up with demand, the importers will no longer be able to compete, and we will stop seeing these oddball brands coming in.

The focus is on getting supply up to meet demand. Reloaders and supply for them is secondary to that.

I see another summer of riots and looting, so plan accordingly.

I hate to sound like a pessimist but I'm not hopeful on the future of ammo and reloading supplies becoming more readily available or prices coming down.

The 2A is under combat assault and since our rights as well as respect for the law is quickly diminishing to the extent that they will try anything to choke off our ability to shoot.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened already as far as choking off supplies (or shipping methods) for ammo manufacturers as well as reloading suppliers.

Commie calibers non existent in LGSs here.
Prices for all other ammo still too high.

Range occupancy is much lower than pre COVID.

Don’t ever see it recovering.

Been some time since I posted. Yes I ask not in Cali but way down south in New Orleans. Brass commie USA made caliber ammo is on par with cheap commie made. We have plenty powder and bullets, primers are still a problem.
In case you wonder why I joined back when I did I had friends in California, and also wonder about how laws are there as well as to what was available to you guys and gals. I was also impressed with how you are keeping up with the anti gun and marching on. The Goverment tossed things in the way but yall do well and adapt.
Hats off to you.
As far as bullets I cast my own. Just had a custom brass mold made for my mom's old pistol 7.65 French Long but Berry's started making 110 plated round nose.
I think we as a group are no longer you g to see less import of powders and primers from over seas.
I am down to my last 5K of pistol and rifle primers bought years ago at 18 bucks a 1000.
So starting in on the Remington, Federal, CCI tgat I felt I paid to much for when I did.
I am.thinking that when the dust settles we as a shooting group will be at twice what things were before the crazymess.
My 1st post in quite some time but have been reading here. The board is interesting to read how other regions are. Thanks for having me.

What is the range occupancy metric?

[DDM4556]

How can anyone look at the cost of ammo and claim things are back to normal?

[deckhandmike]

I’ve held off getting into reloading as I don’t think it’s worth my time spending hours looking for supplies.
