[QUOTE="fightthenoise, post: 2094071, member: 100546"] I have had about the normal amount of problems buying powder online. If I want a particular powder, it's likely sold out, but I will find it and successfully submit an order within a week. I don't actually feel like it's much more difficult than usual to get powder. Even Varget and H4350. The issue for me is primers. Primers are no where. I've been able to score some orders but it took a lot more work and vigilance than powder did, or any component since I started reloading. I think it's due to the following: [LIST=1] [*][B][SIZE=5]stupid folks willing to pay stupid prices to scalpers[/SIZE][/B] [*]scalpers buying up anything they see because see number 1 [*]new gun owners needing/wanting ammo for their new guns [*]said new gun owners are experiencing this ammo situation for the first time, so they think this is how it is and they are buying anything they see [*]every new round made needs a primer - not every new round needs a charge of a particular type of powder, so powder demand is spread across a lot of powders and powder types. thus powders are scarce due to points 1 and 2, but point 3 is less relevant. There are only a handful of primer types and they need to go into factory ammo [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
