Tent is up and full of shells. They have been working around the clock to build inventory

Hopefully it is a sign the powder shortage is starting to ease up a bit.

I just hope they are doing ok through these bad times. It really ticks me off that the burden of this shortage is falling on the little guys and good guys like them

Maybe. But two local sport shops have just about any rifle powders one might need. Even some 4 lb jugs. Shotgun powders? Virtually nothing. Perhaps something will show up by Fall...

Morris told me yesterday at Hausmann's that they had a new powder supplier. RST has never used this new powder so they have to test the various formulas before they can use it. Morris said that they are working 24-7 testing and loading shells. Most of the RST shells at Hausmann's have been loaded with the new powder. Morris was Very optimistic.
