Default RST & the Southern

RST will not be selling shotshells at the Southern. They are not manufacturing shotshells at this time because they can not get powder.
Those of you planning to purchase RST shells at the Southern should make other arrangements.

I could not agree more. Let us hope that this Fall brings more than another grand hunting season.

I feel exactly as Charlie and am kicking myself for not hoarding. There were so few duck days in California this season, last years left over shells were sufficient.

Alex is so easy to order from and always was so nice to visit with. Very bad news.

wow, makes me want to go out and buy every pound of powder I can find that might be useful. I'm not liking this at all.

RST has been hit by the componet shortage just like we all have been and in the scheme of things they are a small operation and probably don't get any consideration from suppliers.

Sounds like misguided gun control if you ask me. Folks like RST and us ought to be the poster child of responsible gun ownership, but obviously others don't feel that way

That's the problem...Hoarding. When you hoard anything, it causes shortages and price increases...People need to step back and think..do you really need 25000 primers and 150 pounds of powder?? And shot at $42/25lb bag is ridiculous..
