How has the ammo/component shortage affected your Shooting

Went to the Washington, Pa gun show today. After yesterdays 5 degree morning, it was pouring down on frozen ground this morning, so opted out of muzzle loader deer. As expected, most powder was around $50/ 1 lb can, and the only shotgun primers I found were Fiocchi at $100/ thousand. A guy was asking $30/ box for Federal 28 ga 3/4 oz loads--or 7 boxes for $150 if I took em all. Most cases of 12 ga target loads were $150/case, and single boxes were $20-25 for most gauges. Would like to have found a Mec600 jr in 28 ga. Few Parkers, there was a decent PH 12 Twist barrels, but I wasnt interested.
Glad I didnt need to pay the price---yet.

I was in Clark Brothers Gunshop close to Warrenton VA back before Xmas and they had four pounds of Unique on the shelf and I was all prepared to swoop down and grab it all then I saw the price $49.99 each . Damn stuffs still there far as I know .

Walmart today had 10 boxes of Win 1 1/8 oz loads at $8.43/ box, Federal 1 oz loads were $9.43.
Didn't think that was too bad.

The new age of reloading !

VERSATILITY is the key word

I would bought them all, not for me but for my friends, but don't know who needs them.

A friend of mine just received his pallet of Fiocchi he ordered over a year and a half ago. He was quoted $49 per flat then. When they called to say it was shipping they charged him $79 a flat. He asked but sure didn't complain and coughed up his credit card. Those days are GONE.
