The price alone woulda been a red light for me . I got two 8 pounders of Unique today from a semi local shop and that was $279.99 before tax per 8 pounder .

Tom thanks for the tip.
I really thought by now you would see a trickle of powder available through the normal retail channels. If anything the situation is worse. Powder on GB is $50-$80 per pound. I check my local guy and the internet retailers on a regular basis and nothing in stock for months. No wonder everyone hoards. |

I think powder is trickling in to shops but goes out the door before ever hitting the shelves. Insider trading. It's who you know.

I started seeing this scam several months ago. Rifle bullets are unobtainable in all but a few really major demand areas. I started seeing a lot of websites with tremendous numbers of product listings, all of which weemed to be available. Things like bullets, reloasding dies of every flavor etc. Most I found seemed to list Texas and Tennessee as home. All required pyment through some never heard of payment service. No answer on phone, email or chat. I have seen a few Gunbroker sellers starting this now.

Finally Hodgdon, Remington and Federal are waking up and offering online sales direct to the consumer. I was able to buy two cases of Remington Gun Club 20ga shells for a total cost of $11.00/ box. Federal also had 20's in stock, direct. Unfortunately neither deliver to New York so I had to have them shipped to a friends business in PA. Fortunately he lives a mile from me and visits his PA shop once a week and is kind enough to transport them home. The crap you have to go endure to shoot your guns!!!

In my observation powder has been and continues to be the most difficult component to find. Primers have been showing up every few weeks, especially Cheddites at BPI. Brownells had some Cheddites this week. I have seen small amounts of domestic made primers available, mostly Federal but some CCI, no Winchesters. Wads are available on-line and in some gun stores. Shot can be had easily if you are willing to pay the higher prices for it.

That's what I thought Craig. I have been on other sites and they show an item price and when you go to check out the price changes, usually on the increase. Apparently this site lists that they have primers and powder, but they cannot be contacted. They show a "Pay Pal" option at check out. I have had major problems with Pay Pal in the past and don't go anywhere near Pay Pal.
