Can’t seem to find any H-335 online. Have most of everything else i need but that one. Haven’t checked locally yet.

Wondering if powders are now part of the panic buy. Anyone else seeing the availability diminishing?
 
My local gunshops that sell reloading supplies are closed until further notice. So, they may have them in stock, but it does me no good.
 
I saw a handful of shotgun powders some Magnum primers and basically nothing else I was lucky to get the powder I got should have brought last week. If it was .223 related you were extra doomed.

Call ahead if you can but don't expect much. Get peanut butter and spam and whatever else you can and just settle in till this blows over. Just try to avoid the cabin fever.
 
It is getting crazy here 40 miled north of Seattle. I do need some primers and bullets.
All the pistol ammo and 22lr are all gone off the shelves and the price gouging has begun.

Check out the gouging on

CHEAPER THE DIRT.

Same as last ammo crunch. I will never buy anything from them ever.
 
I managed to find a pound of H335 today at a local store. My local sportsmans warehouse is really getting picked over.
 
Been looking around justfortheheckofit

Not much out there now, at least not what I could use.

Glad I managed to obtain some extra components before the insanity hit as tracking some down right now could be a bit discouraging.
 
Powder and reloading supplies are flying off the shelves but still some 223 powder on the shelf at bps. 3031, 4895 and one can of the new enduron still there as of now. The new popular powders all gone.
 
I’m sitting pretty good on ammo right now but since I have another 1,000 .223 bullets laying around I figured I’d load them up while in quarantine....
 
The governor of Pennsylvania closed all non life sustaining essential businesses effective at 8:00PM last night.
I had planned to drive to my local supplier of cast bullets today and pick up an order but thanks to the state dictator I can't do that.

My son placed an order with an out of state cast bullet supplier today to get us through the statewide business shutdown.

Powder and primers aren't a problem for us.
We sufficient supplies to last quite some time.
 
No stores local to buy components anyway here. There's a shop down over in Eudora but they never had much reloading stuff before. Doubt if they have any now...
Closest big source is the KCK Cabela's and they show "out of stock" for everything on the website.
 
Man, am I glad my Midway order came in yesterday. I was nervous that a shut-down would be declared and it wouldn't arrive.

I would like to have both more powder and primers, but I have enough for a while so I'm going to focus on doing what I can with what I have. The only place in the area that carries reloading supplies that I am aware of has been pretty well picked over for weeks now.
 
My local walmart had more powder in stock yesterday than I've seen at walmart in 15 years. Didnt buy any but they had it.
 
Local store was open, inventory-wise looked like just about any other day I've been in there in the past few years. They did have a sign at the door limiting customers to 2 boxes of ammunition but they still had piles of it. Didn't look to see if anything in particular was sold out but I seen they had all kinds of 22LR (bricks/boxes) sitting there. I was the first transaction through the register almost an hour after they opened if that tells ya anything.
 
Pretty dried up here in SC. You will see a couple pounds here and there, but primers are gone.
 
That's why I stocked up over the last three years, just a pound or two at a time, though I need to do a better job on bullets. We get these runs, so I like to have enough on hand to weather them out.

I stocked up a couple months back. Should be able to ride this out. If not, more fishing and archery
 
The people that went through 2008 or 2012-2013 learned their lesson, anyone getting in to reloading since 2015 or so did not.
It isn't ridiculousness, nor the sheep.
It is a pandemic.
Anyone who ever thought of preparedness past having a month's worth of TP had pandemic at the top of the list with nuclear winter, financial crash, and mass rabies outbreak(zombies).
It looks like we are having two of those from that list.
 
Powder is getting scarce in the Winston-Salem, NC area also.
The popular brands are gone and the less popular brands are still on the shelves.
Primers dried up about 3 months ago but I don't think the new owners of my LGS, try very hard to get them or powder. The original owners always seemed to get it from somewhere and had primers and powder for us re-loaders.
I have a 4 year supply of everything I shoot based on shooting weekly, so I'll be good for a while. And if things go south on us I can stretch it out to 6 or more years if I start shooting every other week, or more, instead of every week.
I'm going to have to call the indoor range I shoot at to see if they will be affected by a business shut down if it happens, or if they will be deemed an essential company since the all the police in the area shoot their drills in there.
 
Went to a Local Academy during Lunch-break. Line at the Gun counter,,, Folks wandering around the 'mostly empty' ammo shelves.

Signs everywhere that ammunition-related purchases were limited to 3 items. They had some 9, some 45, some 38, a bit of 223/556. Didn't look like the Hornady Bullets were flying off the shelf though. A couple lbs of some powders. As I was already there, I grabbed some 22 'Mini-Mags' and went back to work.
