Reloading components

The shortage has not just been in the reloading market - it has also been in the new ammo market.  The problem or "scare" is because of the party that is the majority in the the legislative branch and also what is in the White House!  The uncertainty that we are being governed at the present time is what is fueling the purchases of not only ammo, reloading equipment , but also for new firearm sales.  It has not been a secret how Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton and Hussein feel about the Right to Bear Arms.  They do not pay any attention to the rules that have been set forth in the Constitution of the United States!!!  I'm not sure if ya'll have noticed it but on more than one occassion the President has been having news conferences without the American Flag behind him!!!

The questions still stand?  Where is the birth certificate, how did someone from Hawaii get a Connecticut social security number, and why did he and his wife have their license to practice law TAKEN from them by the state of Illinois.  Other questions that I would like to know answers to are:  Since when can a President remove a CEO from a company, where was he on Memorial Day(BBQ with Paul McCartney) and how can he, Biden, and Nancy Pelosi wear bracelets supporting Mexico when all Arizona has done is to inact a law that the Federal Government is supposed to already been inforcing!

Things are really starting to look up; I am getting CCI primers now for $25 a brick, saw IMR powder this week at Cabela’s for $21 and Hodigen for $19.99 a pound, the Sierra 168gr HPBT MatchKings was down $3 to $30 a 100 also. I am still going to keep my stock up and get any deals I can (dealer had shot for $20 last week and got another 4 bags) but I am not on any big spending sprees now.

I even see ware Waly-World has their Fed dove loads down $2 a 100 box and all the .22s you could want.

ANSWERS TO AMMUNITION AVAILABILITY QUESTIONS

NSSF has received numerous calls regarding shortages of ammunition. Many of these callers have expressed concern that the supply of ammunition is not able to keep up with the current demand.

In order to provide the best information possible on the issue of ammunition availability, NSSF interviewed ammunition manufacturers across the United States.  Here's what we have learned:

Is there truly a shortage of ammunition?

The shortage of ammunition is real and is caused by several factors including:

• A significant spike in consumer demand

• Law Enforcement demand for training and readiness

• Department of Defense demand for training and readiness

• Higher prices from commodities

What calibers are in the highest demand?

The high demand for ammunition extends across caliber lines. The increase can be seen in most handgun, rifle and rimfire ammunition and on certain shot shell products such as buckshot.

What are manufacturers doing to keep up with demand?

In order to help keep up with demand for ammunition, manufacturers are working at full capacity (24/7).  It is believed that any ammunition shortage is likely a temporary issue; however, it will take time for supply to catch up with demand.

How long will it take for supply to catch up with demand?

While it is believed that supply will be increasing, the great unknown is what demand will be later in the year. Since there is no way for manufacturers to predict how long consumer demand will be sustained at its current, unprecedented level, it is impossible for manufacturers to forecast the timeline for when the current backlog will begin to improve.
