Component Shortages

Sounds like the perfect time to be an entrepreneur!

Isn’t that the truth.

Hey if all else fails, I have a 44 cap and ball with all the necessary components that I have never shot. May have to dig it out of the safe.

I remember a while back. So guy reloading used primers with match heads. Does anybody remember that.

Interesting article, don't quite agree with it. Just consider this: so far in 2020 there are 5 MILLION first time gun owners. That alone puts an enormous strain on ammunition supplies. Component manufacturers make higher profit from ammo than components, so all their supply goes to ammo and reloaders are scrambling to find supplies. Typically, regardless of the commodity, it only takes people buying 3% more of something than usual to create a scarcity and fuel the flames of panic buying.

I still shoot once a week, I don't shoot as many rounds but enough to stay proficient.
