You made the claim, it's up to you to provide a link to the story. "Go Fish" is intellectually dishonest and that's what you are now doing.

I wasted better than a half an hour looking for something confirming your claim to no avail.

The value of an unverifiable claim is 0.00 dollars and .00 cents.
I don't why you can't locate the video, but I can, and I didn't put a dollar value on the information. It's free. You don't have to pay for it.
 
That what I felt was the manufactures were getting the components first. They would and are the largest demand for the components other that what they manufactures for themselves. I've seen this two times before, and it took years to get back to a normal flow. Today it's even a bigger problem. It use to be just going the sporting good store and getting your items. Now it's the net to get lots of your items. Like Federal they build, cases, primers. Not sure if they build bullets, and powders. They make lots of ammo across the board. So we kind of get shorted as reloaders. I am thankful for the sporting good stores, that don't inflate their prices. Some like to stick it to us. Scheel is one that comes to mind presently they over prices there primer by 3 times. They sold out, but they got to those people pockets. I might go over and see what they have, but I try and make it a point in not purchasing anything there either. So we wait and surf the net. If we are lucky we find what we are looking for.
I joined the NRA in 1970 just after coming out of Vietnam, and became a life member in 1975, and up graded my membership several times thereafter. Put my boys into NRA as life members too. Look to put my oldest grandson in shortly as a life member too. I was a merit badge instructor for rifle, and shotgun at one time in the Boy Scouts. That training included a hunter safety cert. or most too.

In the classifieds a small group of us has been discussing RL 33 price at Scheels. Website says 40, but store asks 60??

Ends up honoring 40 if you say Hey!

Heres the thread.....quite interesting.....

 
One thing I forgot to do in my previous post was to thank Wild Rose for all the information and his insight on our current issues. So thank you and I 100 percent agree. Hope everyone is having a great day.
