Will all the gloom and doom affect muzzleloaders

When I saw that Social Security was buying up millions of rounds last year - come on, Social Security - I went on a buying spree. Way before the current "hoarding" started.

I didn't see Sandy Hook coming. But I was pretty confident old Mitt wasn't going to win, and I was pretty confident that gun control was going to get a lot of attention.

My wife thought I was insane. Two weeks ago she apologized to me, and wanted to know how I knew. I told her I was a Boy Scout.

Already .454 and .451 roundball hard to find. all the following are out (online):
Cabelas, Track of Wolf, Midway, Natchez, Dixie, and all of several others I tried. Gunbroker auction has them still from small suppliers through their 'buy it now'. Apparently Speer and Hornady are buys making other boolits or buyers are starting to hoard .44 cap and ball (as a last resort legal pistol).

Reloading and casting supplies are cheaper to stock up on for folks who are fearful and putting in a supply against future gun laws.

I think I need to decide on fewer basic reloading powders and lay in some.
 
Well, theres no such thing as #11 primers anymore, at least not where I can get to em. Cabela's left me out in the cold for 2 months then emailed me today to tell me they probably weren't gonna fill my order, so I went ahead and cancelled my backorder with them. I can't hold it against them though as they have always been great to deal with in the past, they just can't get anything from the manufacturer. :(
Nobody local has #11s anymore, gotta give credit to my local gunshop owner though, he managed to scrounge around and find me 1 tin of CCI #11's! :D He wouldn't tell me where he found them at, but he had them under the counter waiting on me when I walked in today. He did have, and is still able to get #10s in limited quantity so I bought 500 of those from him and thanked him for keeping me and my BP addiction in mind. I converted my revolvers to #11 nipples several years back but never got rid of the #10 nipples, soooo I guess I'll switch back for awhile and save the #11's I have on hand for the smokepole.
Now you guys are just gonna have to quit buying everything up so I can get my supplies. :p
 
BP supplies locally

My local Bass Pro finally has #11 caps, and one tin of Winchester Magnum #11 left. I got it and their last pound of Pyrodex P.

No .454 balls, bought some .457 hoping they fit....(Colt Walker, Colt Dragoon, Uberti 1860 and Pietta Remmy 1858). No musket caps for my .54 Sharps though.

Ammo restrictions is a backdoor gun control method as sure as fabricated gas shortages are a control on freedom of movement.

Obama may not be personally aware of BP firearms, but rest assured DHS and the rest of the alphabet soup sure as Hell do.
