I aas at the range a week ago.. Lotsa people shooting shotgun but shotgun ammo is available. I guess ol Joe was trying to tell us somethin. The panic buying on certain things is not over..22 ammo especially as well as 223. Pistol ammo was available at the show..at very high prices..but it was all Old stock that people had squirreled away I even saw some old 22 LR stuff. Guy had some late 60s early 70s 4500 rounds he wanted to sell for 800 bucks..sheesh. ARs are coming out of the stratosphere. But when it comes to reloading stuff. Rotsa Ruck. The Australian gummit has put a restriction on one container of powder on a ship..and each ship has to be out of port before another container is allowed in. And most of Hodgdon powder comes from Austrailia. Talked to one of my suppliers and he's getting no powder or primers..very little ammo. This time it is gonna last a whole lot longer I am afraid.. I just got some of my primers and powder from back in Md. Trucker friend brought it all out to me along with a ton of lead.. and a lathe.. He had to go out to Couer d'Alene on interstate 90..went right through Billings. Kinda convenient for me. He brought me 50 lbs of powder and 70,000 primers. Gotta stay within the law ya know. Just in case he got checked
