Sunday, I was looking for powder at the nearest supplier. When I told the salesman what I was wanting , he got kinda' conspiratorial. Seems he was told that the shortage we experienced right after the last presidential. election was gonna return. Something about the feds making some big ammo orders. I dunno. Anyhow, I got 21 lbs of powder and 5k primers , just in case. Anybody heard anything?

No I haven't but the price hikes and now possibly another shortage... I'm getting really tired of this crap!
On a side note I got lucky and found a local guy selling a ton of stuff. I took advantage of that.

This is not because of some end of the world stockpiling rather everyone is leaning out inventories. Now loaded ammo is something else.

Re: component shortage
Sounds like a good way to sell a bunch of components! No shortage in this part of the country, but who knows what might be coming. Never hurts to stash some extra.

Re: component shortage
As a general rule posting shit like this in forums leads to shortages. There shouldn't be any shortages as the retards that went out and bought 5 and 6 cases of primers in 2008, should have plenty left over still. There was a glut of supplies in the last year. Quit starting rumors that will lead to a run on supplies, that will prevent a shortage.

Re: component shortage
There is never a shortage of hysteria which causes shortages, but the worst part is price hikes. Those hazardous fees burn my ass! BB

Re: component shortage
The only shortage I have been seeing is in 30m1 carb cassings. I just got 4k of them. So much for a shortage.

Just like chikn said, if you don't want there to be a shortage <span style="font-weight: bold">DON'T BE A JACKASS AND BUY MORE THAN YOU NEED!!!</span> It's not really hard to understand, if every one of us did what the OP did there wouldn't be any components left now would there? This shit had better not happen again.

Re: component shortage
I love 168 A-Maxs, and use them for Speed Goat and Deer out of my long range gun. My stash was running low, so I ordered 4 boxes of 250ct from Midway, and they are not available until mid-April.
I suspect that the tooling for 168 A-Maxs have been diverted into making 168 Z-Max loads.
Anyway, on with the other type of shortage. Plenty of stuff here, I just stocked up locally and they had pretty much everything for every caliber I needed.

But it will happen again because people aren't going to listen/give a shit about that logic. I agree that we shouldn't hoard components because it creates a supply/demand issue but the reality is that people do and there will be a supply/demand issue. Look at the number of 'prepper' shows on TV this election cycle vs. last. The lack of components was staggering last time and there was no media driving it, this time we have tons of media driving the "prepper" movement so the problem will only be worse.

The worst part of the Hoarder induced shortage is that the manufacturers can raise the price of the items because of the inflated demand. As soon as any of their product hits the shelf, no matter the new "adjusted" price, people are going to buy it because they're out. A few years down the road and the prices have not dropped back down again, I doubt they will once this happens again.

Re: component shortage
I put a decent size order in two weeks ago for powder, primers and bullets. Got them all right away.
I have a order in for some misc cleaning and 1000 rounds of bullets as of two days ago, as far as I know there are no issues.

Re: component shortage
I myself buy the components in bulk(not hoard) as I plan on using them and the prices just go up as the money supply continues to be inflated ( among other things that cause the price to go up)
No shortages where I live by the way.
we are running low on water, oxygen, ho hos, twinkies and smokes!

Re: component shortage
Seems like we have all we need here in Virginia. I am however making sure I don't run low like I did 3-4 years ago and have to look around for primers.
