That is fucktarded.

What is wrong with people that they would pay that much??

What the heck - I need an air rifle for squirrels anyway. This is beyond silly.

I figure silhouette attendance will be down this year. Between $4/g fuel and no reloading supplies or 22LR to be found, some folks are just going to say "screw it". As a border state to Massachusetts, I figure every Mass-hole has trekked North and wiped out every shelf. About the only thing left is Eley Tenex at $16/50. I guess the demand curve is not completely inelastic.

No primers anywhere. I stock pile 22LR but for whatever reason I only buy primers by the 1000. There have been no Large Pistol primers for 2 months. I hear Small Pistol primers are even worse. How can you get worse than ZERO!

I guess what really boils my eggs is that even paper targets have gone up. 10m air rifle targets were $8/100. I just went to get some more for our fledgling youth program and they are now $11/100 and there was just ONE pack left. Sigh. I talked him down at the register but still. It is a sad state.

I actually have a receipt from Champion shooters. March 2002, a case of Wolf MT was $155 plus $11 frt. Now that is inflation. Call it $500 landed today if you could find it. 200% inflation over 11 years. That's 18% per year. Should have put my 401k into ammo back in 2002!

Besides supplies running out I think that people in the supply chain are getting tired and making more mistakes. What's really weird is that cleaning supplies are running out! I understand that some low demand items will run short just because manufacturers have diverted capacity, but cleaning solvents?!

I think the Admin (Washington) is buying them all up and sniffing them.

All the new gun owners new new cleaning supplies.....

If I were independantly wealthy, I'd buy it and have them busted for shipping w/o hazmat- you know that is what they will do. What goes around comes around. Shooters ripping of shooters is JUST WRONG.

Powder Valley has a few more types of primers in stock in case anyone is looking.

I noticed that they have Winchester Large Rifle primers in stock, if anyone uses those. All of you guys that shoot highpower with cartridges that use large rifle primers should buy a bunch of those Winchester primers and switch to those so I might actually have a chance to get some Federal 210M primers the next time they're available.

[Trent]

I'll go back to buying Federal primers when their engineers pull their heads out of their buts and fix their packaging. Why in the world do they use those huge boxes???

I finally got my powder from them just recently. Sit'n on 16lbs of H4350 for my 6.5CM, and 5,000 Winchester LR primers. Should be good for a year and some change. Now I'm eyeballing my Varget stock and realizing I may be shooting H4350 in my 7-08 if I'm not careful.

I feel bad for all the people that just want to shoot some .22lr and can't find any cause all the crazies have cleaned it out.

I just placed an order with Champions Choice. They had my stuff for air rifles, but they did not have any CenterX. It should be in stock in 2-4 weeks. They did not have any SK, or Wolf. They did have Eley Team and red box.

[Dee]

I will be buying primers in 5000 piece lots from now on and also tripling my powder order. Things will calm down eventually but I am hearing it could be 18 months before that happens. Airgun ammo is still running around .02 cents per round at least. When generic .223 ammo is selling for more than twice what my 6.5x47L costs per round to load including the brass you know things are out of control.

Ter, try Cathy Winstead she has Center X available and her prices are very competitive with other places.

Yeah, I ordered 2K of the SK Rifle Match and another 3k of the Center X from her last week, her prices are fine and the service is great. Steven

They are out of stock for now. I have 10 cases of wolf and RWS, so I am set for years. I just wanted to try some center X in a new barrel.
