Just got back from my LGS...No powder or primers in stock...He says none have come in for months...Distributors can't get powder or primers...

No new .223 brass either...But he dug out a couple of old boxes of fired brass, and I dug through a big tub of range-pickups, and ended up with 72 cases...

...Which does me no good without primers...

Someone mentioned 'Powder Valley', a site I had never heard of, so I took a look...Everything there is 'Out Of Stock'...Just like everywhere else...

I keep reading that the shortage is over, and that manufacturers are catching up with the demand...But my practical experience says otherwise...

There is a gun show in January; hopefully I can get a couple pounds of powder and a thousand primers then...
