Is it possible that those components are being hoarded for political reasons? Asking for a friend

After what I've seen these last few years I'd say nearly ANYTHING is possible but I tend to believe the Hogdon rep. What he's saying is entirely possible to my mind.

Interesting, I asked the folks at Alliant the very same question and their response "Absolutely false. Strictly a supply and demand issue, hoarding, etc." They said military use was the same as last year and same as 5 years ago. Two very different answers.

How do we know if Hodgdon got a large government contract and Alliant did not? Truth can be hard thing to know.

On another note a local gun store had an 8lb jug of Red Dot today along with 1 lb bottles of Green Dot and 20/28. Been about six months since they had it last.
