    Are Reloading Components getting scarce in your area

    I went to the Sportsman's Warehouse this afternoon wanting to get a pound of powder to test and the shelves are pretty thin, ammo, guns and components. What are you all seeing in your area? and it isn't even close to hunting season yet.

    Every time something happens, first primers, then powders dry up. This is no exception.

        Slow - burning powders have been very scarce for quite some time. H1000 next to impossible to locate.

          Having move to ID from CA 18 months ago I'm still an Interweb guy and primers/powders are scarce "depending", but I'm good for 3-4 months with primers and have a large number on order so I've got my fingers crossed. I can't find Sport Pistol, but have 12 lbs. of VV N320 which will work fine. These shortages won't last forever.

            I'm sure some of this powder will turn up in the next year or so. As to Retumbo or H1000 if I could find someone with what I want I would trade a pound of either for a pound of the Winchester 6.5 StaBall powder. Probably not gonna happen so I'll just wait to do my testing. it might be fun to drive around looking for it.

              Yep, bit of a scarcity. But then again, our freight barges aren't making as many trips either, so it's kinda expected.
              Yeah.

              I'm pissed.
              WTB: Rhodesian A5 FN 12G Shotgun...ah, never mind. Prices have become stupid...
              WTB: FN FS2000..don't care anymore about this one either.

                  Cabelas has various primers in stock online as of May 1.
