Component Suppliers Are Inudated With Orders
#11
Remember when it was like this four years ago? Took a year and a half to get most things back to "normal". It just sucks. I need some powder and bullets and never have alot of money to stock up. What makes mad is people that horde the stuff and never use it. Happen alot up here especially with primers. I ordered some brass a month ago and just now got the tracking number.

Better to stock up and have it and never use it than to not have it and need it. If someone can afford to stock up or hoarde it as you call it than more power to them. At least someone will have some if needed . If I could afford to I would hoarde( stock up) a bunch to.

I stocked up a long time ago on some items that i could get locally. Items like primers are usually much cheaper in bulk and seem to get hit hard first. I was in a local shop a few years ago when a guy drove over 100 miles to get a 1000 or more. Its kinda hard to make your own primers and powder isn't going to ignite without them.

Think of it as an investment. They probably won't go down in value. I think i would rather have reloading supplies than the money in the bank.
Evidently so do a lot of others or it wouldn't be so hard to find stuff or such a long wait for shipping or backorders .

I'm ok with my muzzleloading supplies, as long as I don't plan to shoot too much this spring...
It does tick me off that I went looking for some .22s in CCI Mini-Mag hollow points and after going to 8 different stores can't find any .22s..
I have 300 or so which is enough to hunt with for a few years but who in the heck would think you wouldn't be able to find .22s to squirrel hunt with...

Yep...same problem here (and probably everywhere for that matter). It's stupid. I remember a few months back when you could buy a box of 525 rounds of .22 for about 15 bucks on sale here. Now you can't even find a tiny brick of 50.....

Several years ago I purchased 1000 cases each of .223, .40 s&w and 9mm with enough bullets, powder and primers to load them all. Then as time went along I would buy extra bullets and primers. I currently have a carton each of large and small rifle and large and small pistol primers plus a few extra packs.
And I just received an email today that my one order from Graf & Sons has shipped. Still one more to be processed.

I dont think I would go to one now even if you paid me. I can only imagine what it's like. .
