One of the LGS that I visit regularly has a good supply of powder.
I was able to pick up a couple pounds of Varget and there was still some left on the shelf.
Plenty of BLc2, CFE, 3031, 4895, 4350, H110 and a bunch of others I cant remember
Fiocchi 209 shotshell primers some federal 210 and CCI small rifle.. CCI was 80 bucks/M.

Also hit the Cabelas on memorial day and believe it or not the actully had some Varget o the shelf! I couldn't believe it.. (ans it was 2 bucks more than the LGS)

That is great news. Hopefully it wasn't a one time thing. Having all of it come back is great but I d like to see prices lowered too at least make this sport affordable again.

I think the tide has turned, just, here in NZ as well. No huge rush of components but more frequent shipments of the more popular bullets and powders. Hoping this will expand as we go on. Prices are up as expected but I'm surprised at how little in many cases, at least at my LGS. I think these guys are trying hard to be as fair to customers as possible.

We have a new Sportsmans warehouse in my neck of the woods and it appears that the factory ammo shelves are pretty well stocked. So they have had a little powder and some scarce primers off and on. I am guessing that is the manufacturers #1 priority, factory ammo, and we are 2nd fiddle. So if the distributors are no longer ordering factory ammo I guess our components may finally start seeing the light of day again. At least that is my .02 c hypothesis.

I bought some CCI BR4 primers. The last time I had access to these I paid $35 per 1000 just bought some for $138. What are you going to do? At Scheels. Lots of aa 1680 powder. A great time to reload for a 17 hornet.

Where did you buy the primers @ $138/1000 ?

Do you recall the price of the Fiocchi 209 primers? I'll be in the area on Sunday and wouldn't mind picking up some 209's if you will share the name of the gun shop.

Well, $138.00/1000 may be better than what we have seen lately, but it still sounds like price gouging to me.

Just went on Midway and they are $159 for CCI BR4. I guess that is what we should expect these days. I will have to go back and buy some more. Bought some H335 the other day also. I think people use it in 223 rem.

Powder prices were about $45 average per lbs.

They're $105/1000 @ Powder Valley, but out of stock. What else is new ?
