Gunpowder shortage?

With the new gun-hating administration about to be sworn in, I thought I would lay in a store of components to last a while. Trouble is, everywhere I have looked powder is on back order. Did everyone else have the same idea or is there some sort of shortage going on?
Here is my wishlist
RL 15 for the 375
RL25 for the RUM
IMR 4320 for the 308 and 06
H 335 for the 223
I'm only looking for 5-8 pounds of each. Any ideas?

You have already checked with powder valley, midsouth, Midway, Grafs, Natches ect. with no powder? At the quanity you want the haz-mat charge will be easily absorbed by the saveings as a wash.

Thanks for the help! I hadn't checked Powder Valley and was able to get everything I wanted even tho they were out of some sizes.

Ted -- Thanks for the Powder Valley suggestion. MidWay cancelled last week's powder order (all out) so I ordered from Powder Valley.

Don't order powder online yet, but have noticed the local shops are hit and miss for some things.

But I was stocking up months ago anyway. With a baby on the way, I wanted to be well prepared ahead of time so I would not have to have a fight to get reloading supplies.

It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. We can't get product in. Customers are buying anything and everything they can. Some don't even care what it is or how much it costs. I had a guy last week who was trying to fill up a hazmat box. He had about 20 lbs of powder and primers ordered and told us to just fill the rest of the box with whatever we had available. He didn't care what powder, just fill the box.......
