NO LEAD, NO POWDER AVAILABLE

[J.B. Books]

John, I look at this way, the number of people on the PGCA forum in general, much less reload, is too small a number to affect the inventory of these components. The shortage of reloading components is not new news. The retailers I have referenced are the major on-line sources of such supplies, not obscure places to find such things. You are making an assumption that hoarding is the primary cause of the shortages, personnally I believe there is more to it. I thought it might help a few people on here who might be looking for powder because they have had trouble finding it. I will refrain from posting anything further about the availablity of powder unless someone asks if I have seen any.

Pete you do a fine job of keeping us appraised of whats going on out there and please don't stop doing it.

I have boght powder locally for some members who can't find it in their area. Thats what we do here we help each other out and I don't believe that constitutes hoarding in any way.

Information is power, it's what you do with the power that's important.

Besides the Parker Forum, I frequent the C&R Forum on Maryland Shooters. They have a thread titled "In Stock Now" where everyone writes in to report any good offers by suppliers, that they have run accross. A simple heads up benefits us all. We're all in this sport together, and knowledge is not our enemy.
