Hey Guys,
The AMMO crunch . . . . . :eyebrow:
As some of you already know, I am back into reloading metallic rifle and pistol cartridges. What you may not know is the price of the needed 'components' to produce a loaded round has doubled and in some cases tripled in just the last two and a half months ! yeeeouch . . . . .
It's a great hobby. Not quite as much of a thrill as riding your tricked out FZ1 across town on the rear wheel but, it ain't bad. At least it wasn't until the current 'ammo-crunch . . . . ' ! daaaaang , , , ,
Anyway, I was just curious to see if there are any of our multi-talented patron's on here that are maybe experiencing the same pain . .? :jaw drop:
I'm not really venting, as it's still a most enjoyable hobby for me and so far , , , I am able to shop the web and order in what I need. And yes, some of the more popular things are seemingly always 'out of stock', and the 'no backorders taken at this time' are found on alot more of the various suppliers product's page's these days. I do believe however that the current back-log we are seeing should improve in the next few months.
On the plus side , , , the private sector in many of the reloading forums is chocked full of all kinds of component-goodies and it's really fun trading info with the guys there.
:cheers:
