[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1851874, member: 105459"] I have been talking to dealers and from what I have been told it is likened to the hysteria back a few years ago when you could not find any 22 LR ammunition anywhere .When you did you were only limited to 3 boxes at inflated prices. Or when going back into the late sixties there was a gasoline shortage and it was rationed out as well. If I remember you were limited to $ 5.00 - $ 10.00 maximum and depending on whether your licensee plate ended in either an odd or even number determined when you could purchase any gasoline despite lines going around the block with people waiting patiently for their turn. But I digress the point being supply and demand! If people become alarmed that let's say in this case it's rifle powder is in short supply ,well they are going to start hording ( I need 5 lbs of X brand of powder for MYSELF) If people feel threatened enough to create what I call a Stampede well very quickly supplies on the shelf will dry up. With some of this powder being produced overseas (Sweden) all of a sudden a shortage has been created ,and by making statements about being unable to purchase a given brand of powder only adds to the confusion. This will make things worse. Again I mean no dis- respect however eventually as the hype dries up the powder will again return to it's normal quantities on your dealers shelves. So in closing lets not add to or buy into the hype surrounding the availability of certain brands of Powders but rather be patient and not complain for soon enough just like with all things water will seek it's own level.
