Shortages

Yes sir, this one has been a dandy for sure.

Thankfully, I wasn't in need of anything when it started. Kind of like the Allstate commercial saying, we've seen some things. But this one? I have looked at this monitor and just shook my head at times. 8 pound jug's of powder selling for $1,500 and up, primers at $1,200 to $1,800 per case, etc. And people were buying them. Yesterday, I stumbled onto an all time high for a set of Dillon 9mm dies new in the box, only $499.00 and someone bought them. I use Gunbroker to see what things have been selling for. A few months back, you couldn't even find a LEE Precision black powder round ball mold for under $100. About the only good news is, I'm seeing a few things beginning to show back up on shelves and online. Better yet, it seems the majority of it at normal (or near normal) prices.

And lastly, ammunition and reloading shortages are like any other disaster. It brings out the worse, and the best in people.
