You guys are dreaming. Besides the political thing which comes and goes, we have been hit with an event much like a war or a depression . The new normal will be a different landscape. The manufactures have a new profit structure . Get use to it, It's not just reloading components, it's things like RV parts. Prices never go down. Hmm.... Once the shooters who didn't have enough on hand get enough (and forget this shortage like they did the last ones), and the supply-line produces and ships enough to counteract the folks who bought everything in sight to resell, then shelves and websites will refill. This is what's happened with every previous "shortage," and will happen again--thanks to Adam Smith's "invisible hand of the marketplace." Components and ammo may be priced a little higher, but that's also part of the deal. +1. After searching daily for H335 for days on end, yesterday I finally found some. Pricing was slightly inflated but nothing compared to the Gunbroker gougers. I have confidence that adequate supplies will return albeit at higher pricing.

I found a place locally that will sell H335 by the pound. They have a huge amount in bulk. How much did you pay for yours?

Supplies will return when the buy all you see when you see it regardless of need mentality ceases. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot in this regard and never seem to learn, it's far worse this time around than before. Hoarding coupled with widespread scalping, no wonder many supplies have become unobtanium.

The place I found locally has it for $35.00/pound. I did not buy it and held out, even though I wanted to try some in my new 6x45 AR15. A good thing I held out, as I found some today for $26/pound at a local store. I told a buddy of mine that loads for 223 that he should grab it while he can, as the price is not inflated at all. I'm hoping to see more of a selection here soon. Likely it is going to be slow, but wouldn't it be nice to see powder back on the shelves for $26-$30.00/pound again? As for some of you guys thinking like Debbie Downers, you can keep wishing for high prices. I'm hoping for reasonable prices, as I don't like getting screwed and will not pay exorbitant prices on anything. This "new normal" way of thinking is fu ckiing stupid. You guys probably like wearing masks too...

When people quit paying absurd prices for stuff like on gun broker it would help. Too many bots out there grabbing up stuff and reselling.

When people quit paying absurd prices for stuff like on gun broker it would help. Too many bots out there grabbing up stuff and reselling. Yep, people buying shcidt at absurd prices, calling it "the new norm". I just bought 2 more pounds of H335 for $26.99/pound. I probably wouldn't be buying it, but my new 6x45 may like it. I see it listed in quite a few loads for it. I also load for my buddies 223 rem bolt action and I know it works well for that application. It is actually nice to see some powder and bullets back on the shelves. I've been buying a lot of old stock from different gunshops around the area. Found 75gr Hornady V-max for $24.00/box and some 85gr 6mm Sierra Gamekings for $26.00/box. My 6x45 loves those and at those prices, its far from the new normal people are wanting to pay for chidt.

ve had to stock pile because some powders are tough to get here in Canada, such as Ramshot brand. There was a dealer from the prairies who did the importing paper work, The only one I knew of. . He would come out to BC for the big Kamloops gunshow,. He would sell out in the first hour of the first day. Big Game, Magnum and Tac were the far and away the best powders for a couple of calibers, and works great in the third. . So I tried to have a couple of pounds ahead. These are hunting rifles ,so my usage isn't that great. For practice loads IMR 4064 and IMR 4350 are easily available.

Primers are the huge issue here. Thank God I am set for a few years Im definitely set for 10 years or more for my magnums, but I was damn surprised how many small rifle primers I went through last year. 5,000 BR4's, 2,000 CCI 41's, and 2,000 CC1 400's. 3 weekends ago I fired off 300 rounds in my new BCM. Then the weekend after that it was 250. Those types of sessions eat up a lot of components. I had to slow way down on my precision rifle shooting. The creeds havent been shot since November. Luckily I found 3000 BR2's a few months ago for $150.00. I'll wait it out as long as I can, like many here are doing.

There is some 4831 IMR for $33 plus tax up the road. Been there for a week. Some other stuff too.
