I was talking with owner of a small gun shop last night who provides a great deal of the reloading supplies and shells used at the gun club I frequent the most. He said he did not know when his next load of lead shot would come in and mentioned the distributor he uses has 168,000+ bags of shot on back order.

Was up to Cabelas in Me last week and plenty of shot, ditto at Riley's.

I placed an order with the local wholesale store a few weeks ago and they said it would be mid sept. for me to get it. They are also back ordered by many a thousand bags. I just ordered a bag from bownells to get me by until then. They only wanted a little bit more than I pay from the wholesaler and I was placing an order anyway for some other stuff.
One local gun shop had 3 bags of 9 shot on hand. But they wanted like $55 each for them. I'm not that hard up.

I have been a frequent customer of Graf & Son and Midway for many years. They send out e-mails when items arrive, but they are sold out by the time I read the note and go to their website, and I check my e-mail frequently! I have been finding primers and bullets at smaller, lesser-known outfits, for non-gouging prices.

I went to the Kittery Trading Post again last night, almost all powders out of stock, 100% of shotgun powders out of stock. There were half dozen bags of shot, all #6, price has increased to $54.99 plus 5% Maine sales tax. This is the highest retail price on a bag of shot I have ever seen.
I still have not seen a box or a brick of 22 LR this year. We will in a few short weeks have lost the entire summer for great number of youth to learn or practice shooting with a 22 in formal and informal settings. IMO the continued lack of availability of 22 rimfire is a very big threat to the future of shooting sports as we go forward. |

Pete, I agree on the .22's! I have been traveling and have looked along the way for .22's anywhere I had the chance to stop and look. I looked here in New Hampshire (and Maine), Pennsylvania, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Louisiana as I traveled. I went into big box stores and little gun shops I saw along the way and I only saw one box of .22s.
I am shooting .22 tomorrow and will probably be out of ammunition when I return home. |
