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.
