Paul, You are "Da man". With that volume of shooting do you have a Tri-Axle just back up to your garage and dump a few ton's of shot?.....

My son-in-law and two grandsons shot about 30,000 targets last year. It's none of my business, but I hope he's providing for my daughter and the kids' college.

Sounds like his priories are in order. Keep em busy, less time for mischief. Dave, you'd think I'd learn something with that much shooting but NO. We spend too much time teasing each other.

our club is out of most powder only a few boxes of primers left. but we do have a good supply of Remington target loads. lead is in good supply at 46.00 a bag. the price of shot is killing me. I like to shoot so all I can do is complain.

Our order came in - everything but a can or two of pistol powder. We usually get between 6 and 7000 $ worth of shotgun reloading supplies. Everything had gone up a bit - $4 for a brick of primers, 3 or $4 for 5000 wads, shot was 39.50 a bag. It doesn't seem all that long ago I could buy 20 bags of shot for under $400. How time flies when you're having fun.

As far as RST is concerned I believe they are in the same quandary when it comes to getting material for loading, I called and ordered a flat of 20ga spreader and a flat of 28g a got an e-mail from Alex said the order could not be filled now, but hope he could fill it in 3-4 weeks Gary

I believe their shortage is the inability to get powder at this time. Much the same as the rest of us.

That makes me wonder what they will have on hand to sell at Hausman's Hidden Hollow in a few weeks, quite few folks simply buy the shells they use when they get there.

Pete,
At the Southern a couple of weeks ago they just about completely emptied their truck by Saturday. I know they were completely out of several items and low on most others. I'm sure they will be restocked by the time Ernie’s shoot comes around.
