[QUOTE="Hudge76, post: 2169723, member: 117629"] I’ve been reading this thread for sometime now, and I have seen first how it’s the amount of guns being sold causing this issue with a few other causes. I live in AK, so no ordering powder and primers and having it shipped to the house here. We had a local chain that sells all kinds of stuff get powder in back at the end of February. I was able to get some powder I needed, it no primers to be had since October. The main LGS has not had a powder shipment since Dec. now the box stores like SW, BPS, and Cabelas are getting regular shipments of ammo, and some reloading supplies sporadically, but most little guys are not. I bought some primers from an individual dealer that supplies the competition shooters and he said he can’t get new shipments as it’s the distributors for AK having the issue. LGS says the same thing, it’s their distributor. As far as no one at the ranges, I wish that was the deal here. The last few times I’ve been, it’s packed! This time of the year I can go at times and be the only one there for hours, not so now. While many are new gun owners, most are not. The pistol range is always at least 50% full and the rifle range at least that, closer to 75-100% full when I’ve been. People are getting ammo somewhere. While I’m not seeing the usual amounts of guys running hunting rifles on the rifle range, now it’s packed with AR shooters. Before Covid, there were times I was the only there with an AR, now I get strange looks when I pull out a bolt action to shoot. [/QUOTE]
