MY STUFF…There’s a reason there’s nothing on the shelves.

There's a reason there's nothing on the shelves. You guys put out an alert and 10 minutes later it's all gone. I know there are people out there needing things and are not hoarding. you fellas need to let us find this on our own. That way the shelves may get restocked. I know I'm going to catch a lot of flak for this. But that's OK I'm old!

Tom, not trying to be a smart *** here but if you can get online here and make a post you should be able to find what you want online and place a order.

Ps- You're not to old to do that.

Tom,

What powders do you need or want? Maybe if I see them, I can let you know. Or maybe I can trade with you if I have it.

If it wasn't for @Veteran I wouldn't have been able to shoot my summer and winter shotgun leagues, and probably would be sweating to shoot a couple spring matches I have on the calendar. My hat's off to him and this forum.

I tell you one thing I haven't seen online or in stores, its large magnum primers - CCI250 or Fed215. Having a 300 wsm built and have all the components except primers, and I have lookouts everywhere online!

The CCI 250s were available about 4 weeks ago. Now its all Small Rifle lately. Due for a cycle.
But likely it will be the 250s, not the 215 M's. Those are very hard lately.

 

[Recon$$]

I see where your coming from but strongly disagree. Alerts on here have helped me immensely because I don't have time to hawk gun shops.

 

[fletcher]

See.

Thanks, any online places that might not be as common to look at?

YES there has been a shortage and YES it has been somewhat hard to find components online before they are sold out. BUT I say BUT! - if you look at all the websites that are now selling powder/primers/bullets -YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET WHAT YOU NEED. I have seen powders and primers available online for days before they ran out of stock. Price was probably a factor. Some of the major retailers were and are charging high prices. We are not used to these prices. First there was no stock and now that there is stock it is 2 to 300% higher than 10 years ago.
I stopped looking and especially getting notices that a certain retailer has available powder/primers/bullets. Spending way too much money and stocking up for 2022 because of the past. I always think back to the 2008 election and couldn't find any powder or primers. We had enough to get by for hunting but going through the last 12+ years trying and hoping to get the powders needed was a nightmare and then if you did find what you needed-it cost double to triple of previous years OH! and you had only seconds of time to purchase on the web or someone else got it.
Yes I can now see why shooters are stocking up (not hoarding) Gun Broker sellers are the HOARDERS!
My suggestion is if you see something that you can use for reloading now or in the future GET IT! It may not be available in the months or years to come. BE PREPARED!!!
Tom these are not the days of years past. We have a real hard time adjusting, but it really SUCKS and can't see it going back to the good old days.
I think that we (shooters-hunters) still have some components available. The liberals wanted to take away firearms - COULDN'T (well maybe CA). Just think if they put a TAX on all AMMO and components???

I buy 215 at Scheels and Bass pro where you located?

 

[StanleyActual]

We, myself included, are greatful for what you've been doing @Veteran it's much appreciated dude! Helped a lot of folks get what we've needed !

Good looking out!

 

[LaHunter]

Veteran is 'The Man'! Your help is really appreciated. I don't think guys on here helping one another out are preventing shelves from getting stocked. It appears there is a very limited supply of these components and a very strong demand, so any inventory gets bought really fast, regardless if it's someone from this community or not.

Southern Oregon. No scheels here (though I'm from the midwest and miss having them) and no bass pro. Sportsman's warehouse is it but I haven't seen reloading supplies there in 10 months
