None of this shortage is good. But it seems to be very regional/area sensitive. Or maybe just luck. I have no problem finding powder (albeit not my preferred type) and most primers. both at slightly elevated prices of course. But a $54 bag of shot is better than NO bag of shot.

I was at Gander Mountain this week and bought a brick of federal 22s for $2.59 a box. Their ammo shelves were full .

Maybe some of the vendors aren't pushing the manufacturers and suppliers hard enough to get their shelves filled. You'd think a high-volume store like KTP would have enough buying power (leverage) to get more than they do.

I was just at the largest gun store in my area. Plenty of powder and wads. I bought 2 boxes of 45ACP HP ammo but no 22 ammo.

Graf and Son recently had some 22 short cartridges. They were made for the Polish Olympic Team! They were priced right, and I needed some for my Winder musket. It has since sold out.

I'm looking for a brick of Fiocchi primers if any one runs across them.
Thanks Bob

all the powder and lead shot seems to be in the hands of scaliwags... lots of powder for sale on the auction sites but at about double the price... charlie

Default Reloading costs

I was at a local gun store today looking for some misc things and to my surprise they had Remington Peters 1-1/8 oz x 3 dram in both 7-1/2 and 8 for $6 a box. These are those beautiful medium blue compression formed hulls like the old AA's. With these prices for shot, primers and powder and the time it takes to load them, I'm not sure buying factory ammo isn't cheaper in the long run. He had 275 flats and those hulls are very reloadable. Although I don't shoot 30,000 rounds a year.
