Have the 6.5 Creedmor fanboys sucked it all up?

Can't find RL-26 or 16. Or IMR-7977

I wonder if someone will sell it to me if I promise not to use it in a Creedmor?

My guess is the virus lay off and productions slowed down to the best selling powders, seems to be the case in most of the firearms industry.
Laying personal off most cutting 50% of their employees Im told, some are not even answering their phones,

I don't think so Ray. The interest in long range shooting has caused a huge demand for certain powders. I think it started with a shortage of Retumbo, H4350, and H1000, which snowballed into reloaders buying similar powders.

H1000 and H4350 are now available, but still waiting for Retumbo.

part of the problem is powders are made in cycles and large batches.

so you end up with the fast pistol powders being made for like 3 months, the rifle etc are made in turn and what there is lasts until the following years batch is made.

or it don't and you ain't got none on the shelf.

Same place AR rifles and pistol ammo has gone; Hoarders. I know guys who have several lifetimes supply of it. Every perceived crisis initiates panic buying and hoarding. Every word or action from socialists and communists in this country sets it off.
Not saying it is not a real thing; it is.
