Supply and demand
I have been trying to get reloading supplies for over a year and still cannot get anything. I cannot find anything on the shelf anywhere but oddball cartridges. Now if they want to say that hunting calibers and US calibers are not caught up to demand after ramping down, that is almost plausible for a few months not for over a year. When it is types internationally mass-produced and stockpiled, it is ludicrous to state the supply cannot keep up with demand. None of the explanations make any sense in a macro economy unless some new regulation or effort has gone into effect restricting importation. None of the explanations are nearly sufficient to explain why I cannot procure any 9mm or 308 for over 9 months. This is widely internationally produced in dozens of countries. They would be shipping it here from everywhere in the world within weeks if there was a surge in demand and price in the USA. None of the explanations are nearly sufficient to account for the near total lack of availability of such international standards. With prices surging they would be emptying warehouses across the world unless there is something artificially constricting or blocking the law of supply and demand.
I find your explanations grossly insufficient to account for lack of world standard calibers when demand has pushed up prices for such and extened period. Is there something I am missing?

Those that got what they needed before the Election in November and then bought as much Silver as they could at $9.25 will be selling a bit and buying up discounted firearms and supplies... bastards :)

Was at the crossroads show all weekend. Plenty of ammo in all calibers to be had. You name it, it was there and the prices were LOWER than what I paid 6-8 months ago. I actually talked to a few people who said the same thing. Prices are coming down !
This link may give insight into what I believe is being done to the US through this UN initiative. Have a read, the shortage will make alot more sense after.

I didn't make it to the last Crossroads, but reports are that there were plenty of every caliber, but the price goes up every show.
I'm leaving now to pick up Kelly, and we are heading over there.

This link may offer insight into what is actually going on. Read it and pass it on, we are being usurped.

This link may add some insight into what is going on here. I stumbled upon it through a keyword search on google.
