[QUOTE="devildog88, post: 3645571, member: 45900"] It sucks for sure, but there have been buying opportunities here and there if you monitor a few boards like sniper's hide or ar15.com you may even get a head's up. Between that and monitoring natchez and midway I have managed to get powder and primers to keep going and training a little. Definitely not the old prices, but good enough to keep chugging along without letting everything decay into uselessness. Interesting how we figured out what goes first and what gets replenished later. Also found out what never comes back or is unobtainium. Early on, all the old rounds were still on the shelves for a bit: 30-30, 45-70, 30-06, and some of the older stuff. When it did go, it did not seem to get replaced at all. The suppliers were making the common rounds and upcharging. Primers became scarce because manufacturers were turning them into profit. .223, .308, 9mm, .45 acp all disappeared early, but came back in trickles as that is where the money is to be made I suppose. With a little circling the wagon I have managed to avoid the worst of the gouging and keep reloading. [/QUOTE]
