It's still highway robbery though!
I haven't had much trouble getting any of the IMR/Hodgdon powders, ramshot/AA, or VhitaVuori/Norma. The powders from Alliant are the ones we normally don't get, although a big amount of RX-15, 17, and 19 finally came into town. Bullets from Nosler and Sierra are pretty hard to get. Speer, Hornady, and Berger are always coming in. Primers are everywhere here. Lot more brass is starting to show up as well. 22s are now coming in by the butt load and actually staying on the shelves. So this is just my guess but it looks like we might finally be seeing some light.
It'll sure be nice to see a break in these shortages, but it'll only take one more tragedy, or proposed gun law, or potential anti-gun politician running there yap,...etc, to put it right back to crazy again.
Luckily, I haven't needed anything during this last "shortage". I could use some R-15, but I'm not hurting for it.
I've heard that Ramshot Big Game is hard to find right now. I have enough for me, but I do know a guy looking for some. Next time you're in the gun shop, take a peek and see if they have any.
I could give him the phone number to the store, and maybe he could talk them into shipping him some.
He runs a 17/204 like mine, and it is THE powder for that one...
