[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1207465, member: 30743"] I think it's just a sign of the times in the world we live. When I started reloading years ago I rarely ran across component shortages. The wars in the middle east and a full court press by a hostile administration to abolish gun rights have made component shortages more the norm than the exception. I like to shoot prairie dogs and about four years ago the shortages came close to causing me to cancel a trip out west. It was only at the last minute that I found powder and bullets to make it happen. I vowed to not let that happen again so my stockpiles are a lot higher than I've ever kept on hand before. I now look a lot further into the future when purchasing components, I no longer count on being able to run to the LGS and find anything I need on the shelf. If Hillary Clinton gets elected president in november I expect a big gun control push and another huge component shortage, I'm stocking up now in anticipation of that. A recent find of .22 caliber 55 gr. ballistic tips on sale at the shooter's pro shop website resulted in 6000 of them sitting on my shelf, ensuring my prairie dog hunts will be able to continue for a while. I know it's far from ideal, but when you find a load your rifle likes it's prudent to lay in enough components when they're available to wear out the barrel. It shouldn't be necessary but in these times it is. Having to change a well tuned load due to not being able to find components sucks. It's going to get far worse if Hillary Clinton gets elected. Prepare now. [/QUOTE]
