On Ammoland this morning. without my tinfoil hat, excuse was nitrocelluose shortage due to wars, Vista outdoors is suspending sales indefinitely, and using all their powder for ammo production. I hate vista Outdoors.

I said I was leaving my hat off. Powder is going to be as scarce as 215M primers soon. What is available will get so high its not worth it to load. Just a warning. won't be but a few days until price will jump again

Others know this. I was amazed at the price some were asking on the classifieds here but if it's what you use what choice do you have other than starting fresh.
This won't effect me since I don't use it but I have to wonder what's next?

This will affect the price of ALL powders
I'd bet we sold/gave all our surplus ammo to Ukraine and Isreal. Now the US is stocking back up with new stuff. And its not just bullets that need nitrocelluose.

Biden and the demonrats trying to screw all gun owners. Remember the impossible 2020 vote count after demonrat run cities stopped counting in the middle of the night and suddenly "found" just enough votes? F-Biden!

Like so many things these days, the majority is manufactured in China, and they are shipping the majority to the Russian war effort. Allies and all that.
That's the problem when a nation exports its manufacturing base to other countries, especially ones who may become, or are, your enemies.
To counter China, the US must strengthen ammunition production - Breaking Defense
In this op-ed, retired Maj. Gen. James Marks discusses the importance of domestic nitrocellulose production to keep up with America's needs.

I said I wasn't going to put my hat on so I won't comment other than to say components for everything, and loaded ammo have been in short supply since the covid lie. The ex branch has given itself way too much unconstitutional power and has the other 2 and all the citizens running and hiding like rats.
