Ok guys I can understand the ammo and components shortage I guess but my nephew bought a 7-08 and is gonna reload. No dies available at that time anywhere he or I looked. You guys trying to say both people who bought a 7-08 bought up all the reloading dies on the internet. Gotta call bs on this and a lot of other things that are out of stock. Edk
No, but the thousands who already have 7-08s and had to scramble for ammo for hunting season might just have decided to become less dependent on factory ammo. Same goes for those who might already be handloading, but never bothered to load 9mm, 7.62x39, or .223 because the cost was so low it wasn't worth their time and effort. I had a Hell of a time assembling the stuff required to load 9s myself, but I got it done, and didn’t pay through the nose for any of it. When my factory ammo is gone, I can fill ‘em back up and keep shooting.
Don’t know if stuff like presses, scales, etc are also in short supply, as I have those and ain’t looking.
