We have a new gun shop that just opened right near to me . Good deal as the smith has been around a while and any one who knows NY knows we need more shops . Most are gone . Anyway , the talk around the shop is that with the wars going on , that powder will double in price by this fall. I've really narrowed what I use now to 410 , WSF and Perfect Pattern . Have lots of rifle powder . I would say that if you have opps to buy stuff you run into , grab it ! Just in case ! |

16gaDavis’ report is echoed by our club’s ammo and components guy. He ships in big container loads of supplies from around the world, and stocks it here at the club and also parcels it out to other clubs and local distributors. He says some Euro ammo producers are down to a six month supply of powder. The wars are consuming more powder in a single day what normally was sufficient for months. The message is get ready for severe shortages of powder.

Sadly production has never matched demand.At some point most shooters can't afford to shoot/reload anymore. ![Evil or Very Mad](images/smiles/icon_evil.gif) |

I talked with the Fiocchi/B&P rep two weeks ago.
He stated the same situation.
I have lots of supplies but still add to it when I find a deal. |
