According to my ATK stock holder paperwork and emails, When the 2012 production run of components sold out early they kicked 2013 production run time up. That sold out before 2013 actually arived. Then they ran 2014 production earlier then usual to make up for shortages. That has long been sold out. They do not have a supply line in place to just up production to a rate that would keep up with demand as it is now.
The foreign companies can not up their imports because there are quotas in place to only allow certain amounts of any foreign munitions in . The lack of powder for reloading is under these same constraints.
As far as local supplies here in North central Wyoming, I do not even bother looking cuz, there aint nothing to be had, except at Shipton's Big R in Sheridan and the prices they have jacked things to ,they can keep it. I will be patient and get what I need on a cross country trip next month.
