I’m wondering what you guys are seeing available. From what I’m seeing primers are out of stock. I can get them at a markup for 15-20 cents each off of price gaugers. Powder is available 20-32 a lb depending what you get. Plus shipping and hazmat. I found some in store. Shot is only available in #7-9 which I don’t use. I’ve seen some marked up at 4 dollars a lb with shipping. Way too high. Buck shot at about 10 a lb with shipping.

I have what I need for the season just wondering what others are seeing. I still have enough #5 shot for 300+ 1 oz loads. 300 primers. Way too many wads. And plenty of powder. I’m not planning to get more components unless I need them due to current pricing being so high. I mentioned in my other thread about cannibilizing rounds to at least get primers if needed.
 
A gun shop in my area had 209 primers for $70/1000, but the only way they'd sell them is if you also bought 2 x 25-lb of shot $$40 each and 2 x 500 bags of CB wads @ $10 each. I only needed primers so I refused the $170 deal.
 
I could see that being annoying but I kind of agree with them. A lot of what is driving the price up is speculators buying them and putting them on auction sites and such. What they’re doing makes that less of an issue.

I had been running low on a couple components, primers and powder mostly and every time someone would post “X” place has them in stock, they’d be out by the time I looked. Month or so back my ship came in…I stopped at a shop close to where I shoot skeet and they had (2) 8# jugs of Clay Dot...got (1), week or so after that someone posted Ballistic Products had Cheddite primers…scored 10k, week or so after that I get an email from Powder Valley, they had Clay Dot in stock…scored another 8# jug. Last week I found 6#’s of 20/28 local to me, so I’m set. With what I was able to purchase the last month or so I’m set until this time next year other than wads, but I’ve always been able to get those.
