Interesting article.

It seems like the perfect storm.

First their was covid. Then a democrat president. Then big military contracts. Combine that with human nature to hoard something that they think they will have a hard time getting and this is what happens.

It does seem to be getting better at least here anyway. The local shops pretty much always have powder. It might not be the powder you want but something you could make work. I see primers once in a while but I haven't seen large rifle primers in a long time. That's the ones I would buy if I saw some. Bullets are hit and miss. But there again you could always find something you could make work.

Interesting times.

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.
