Although this is better than bare shelves it still suggests to me the powder drought may be easing but things have not returned to normal in this part of the country.
Every time I talk to our distributers they give me the same BS "we're back ordered on blah blah blah" and I am fully aware they ship to their larger accounts first . But WTF , I used to get a lot from Parks and Sons in Winston Salem area but about two years ago their business went south in my opinion and have not bought from them since . I also used to drive to Ron Shirk's in Lebanon PA to pick up for us and another friends shop . Most of the time when I call them to make an order they don't have 75% of what I want , plus if I go pick up from them I can't get but 100 pounds of powder at a time . There's another place semi close to Pittsburgh I use sometimes "CAC" , we fly up there and pick up but they don't always have the majority of what I want .
