I've only had the occasional problem finding something specific, but I have lots of reloading supplies stocked for the stuff I use.

I couldn't find any Sierra 50 gr BK's in .224 at any of my local shops, found a bulk box in Ont a while back(online)....but shipping and the cost sent me on a search south of the border. Picked up a box of 500 for roughly $50 less even with exchange.

Components such as powder (can't find any H380....got lots of Varget though!) and primers are slowly trickling up here, so every now and then I pick up a few hundred primers.

Mostly primers! Specifically Federal Large Rifle Mag and/or Large Rifle.

The last gun show had lots of everything but Federal primers. Seems to be a shortage of those. Cases of CCI's though, and not selling fast.

Everyone is allowed an opinion, even if its wrong.

Went to get a # of Varget at the local Home Building Centre....almost choked when I saw the price....41.99 per #.....all other Hodgdon powder was between 23 and 28.....WTF Confused

Seems like the foreign manufacturers should take advantage of the shortages.

No problems in southern Alberta. Same for components.

Went into wholesale sports in Wpg last week.They had lots of lg rifle and mag rifle primers. They were low on sm pistol primers. Stocks of powder,bullets & cases are reasonable so I don't see a huge problem here.
