As has been noted, the industry is extremely busy lately. I ordered some Hybrid Bergers that were marked in stock from Bruno's. In the meanwhile, the status was changed to out of stock, so I decided to give them a call. On three separate days, I called at different times of the day. The phone was busy every time. The other day, my order went to shipped. This is all very unusual. Go to your LGS and you will be lucky to find any remotely usable powder.
I know that there are many industries that are used to ramping up and ramping down very quickly. I used to work in the construction industry. It is a perfect example. They have high pay scales to compensate for the fact that you probably won't be working the whole year. The firearms industry just isn't structured that way. This industry trains up people expecting them to stay on for a while. As a result, I am sure that they don't have the process in place to onboard employees very quickly like you see in construction or oil exploration.
I have been cutting them some slack. As has been referred to on this thread, we don't have much of a choice.
Fwiw, I have called Dillon twice since Sandy Hook. I had to wait a while both times, but in both cases, got a polite and very knowledgeable customer service representative.
