NO LEAD, NO POWDER AVAILABLE

[J.B. Books]

I stopped at the Kittery Trading Post today and the situation with reloading supplies remains mixed, lot to no availability and when something is available like lead shot, high prices $54.99 plus tax. There were no reloading powders available except STEEL, a situation which has persisted for at least a year now. Pistol and Rifle ammo is available, notable .223 which was not to be had a year ago. What struck me the most was this is the first time anywhere I have found 22 rimfire ammo available in over a year. 500 round boxes of Aquila brand, subsonic, standard and high velocity 22 LR. No limit per customer the sign said, price per brick, $67.99 plus tax.

Pete, The componant situation here in CT isn't much better. I can get lead and primers but no powder. Wads I always mail order and luckily that has been okay. A couple weeks ago a buddy of mine and myself found a small gunshop over in NY that had a good supply of powder so we went and bought 20 lbs. of various brands.

This must be a local thing. We can still get just about everything except a couple of powders and loaded shot gun ammo.

I went to a local ammo/reloading supply shop yesterday and they were out of almost everything again- got the last 1lb bottles of 7625 and 4756 since he will likely not be getting anymore.

they had a good supply a while back - but only in bigger bottles, this time he said he could get me anything nobody wanted

I just got 5000 16ga wads from Ballistic Products. I have primers and shot and haven't had to look for powder....yet but the search begins again.

I have purchased two bricks of 555 .22LRHP ammo one Remington the other Federal of less than $30 in recent months.

hear in lower Michigan shortages continue, powder and some wads ,20ga gun clubs have not been in stock since last summer. last winter I purchased every thing I needed for my shooting season which starts next month, this is the plan again.

It's still a bit crazy around these parts. Yesterday the Kittery Trading Post put out 60 "Bucket of Bullets", 1400 rounds of 22LR for $75. Not a terrible price in the current market. They were gone in about an hour.

[C.O.B.]

Twice in recent months I have purchased the 555 pack of 22LR for about $30 and these were HP so thats not a bad price at all.

Saturday I managed to get three pounds of PB (just in case I run out of 4756) and a can of 4756 along with 4000 Win 209 primers.

I am just hoping RST gets their Nice Shot back in stock before next duck season

Here in Michigan we're putting together a order at the club from Dawsons in Ohio [ a wholesaler] and they have about everything in stock except Federal and Remington primers. As I've said before, these shortages must be a local thing. What's nice is that they add the order to a truck load of clay birds so we don't pay shipping or sales tax. We just have to wait sometimes a couple of weeks for them to come up this way to another club. I usually get about 4 to 500$ in my order so I'm saving 24 to 30$ in sales tax alone, plus we get the wholesale price. I did notice PB went from 140 to 152/ 8#'s. The Promo I use is still 85$/8#'s. I've read PB, 7625, 4756 and a couple of other IMR powders will be discontinued because of "lack of sales ".
