Call me paranoid, but does anyone else think that OUR government's buying up 15 badillion rounds of rifle ammunition might have something to do with component shortages?

Just because you are paranoid does not mean they aren't actually out to get you.

B & P just shipped me two flats of comp ones, three day delivery. Guess the Italian government is not stocking up.

This is news I was hoping would not come. They are a fine group to do business with and are essential to our sport. I wish them luck getting through this.
I am not seeing this problem go away soon. I am good for a few years but anticipate that I won't be able to reach for any gun I please once my cache starts to thin out. One doesn't get the real story but the big producers seem to view this as temporary and I hear little about expanding production capacity. The low pressure community is not necessarily a high priority as we watch such powders be discontinued.
Started the week with the RST news and again 4 below zero this AM. UGH. Just gotta keep movin'.

We need to march on Washington. As if they would listen . . .

This could easily be the workings of the big companies trying to edge out the small guys too.

Welcome to "Hope & Change." Oops. Hope that's not political.

No John, it's reality.

RST is a great company. Wish I had bought more of their 10-ga shells earlier.

I was on their web site and it has shells in stock. They may not have enough for the Southern but they seem to have some to fill internet orders.

Let's hope that by this time next year we will not be trading recipes for home made black powder.
