If the powder companies are sending powder to the military then I'd say it would have to effect civilian powders production and distribution. The factories only have so much equipment and floor space. The ADI plant here in Australia is not overly large and I can't see them producing both military and civilian powders concurrently. Why would they? All production will be going for military ammunition.
Many 'experts' are predicting a war with China and the Ukraine war has depleted the world's ammo supplies. More ammo has to be made and it all needs powder. I can't see governments really caring about home handloaders hobbies when the world is going to sh_t.
I bought another kilo of 2206H and 2208 (H4895 and Varget) but might get some more while I can. I also just bought a new Loop fly rod and two Sage reels so that's my Plan B when all the powder is gone. But realistically, I have enough powder (and other components) to last me for years at my current usage rate.
But my mates don't.
