DaveT Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 If anyone uses RL15 and is having trouble getting supplies then Dauntsey Guns (Wiltshire) are expecting some in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Powder and primers are scarce here. A few pounds trickle in but they are rationed out and gone in an afternoon. I'm glad you can get some RL 15 by May. We are being offered no target date on RL 15 or Varget.... or any other powder for that matter.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hornet might become a much sought after item! Gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gbal He,he! already is in my book and I has stocked up 12 grains a fill, if need arises I will even start casting old fashioned lead bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 If it gets really bad never mind lead recycle your empty .22rf into jackets for your 22 CF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 True all of this about economical cartridges. I have a lot of Hornet-dedicated components for just that reason. Lately, I have been considering again casting some 55 grain bullets for my .222 Model 70. Previously I've done 2750 fps with MOA accuracy from this gun and hey! the prairiedogs didn't know it wasn't a jacketed bullet.~Andrew On Topic: I was in the City today. Nobody had any powder of any consequence to rifle shooters. Nothing for primers, either, tho our local store has a reasonable stock of CCI BR-4's.

Dustyman Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 + 1 on dauntsey guns , had a long conversation with em about the same BUT they did say if you want any thing from the forth coming delivery best to ring and preorder because that's what most people are doing . If you don't, you might find what stock they do get will be allocated to others and you will still be in the same situation . Just a heads up . I've already tagged some rel 15 and there may be others the same so best to be aware , cheers Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Anyone who isn,t stocking up now has already left it too late. There will be nothing coming from the states for some considerable time. They will stock their own shelves first, and America is showing no signs of slowing down on its guns and components consumption. Its been like this since all those kids were shot. I guess those of us who shoot AR15s etc noticed it sooner, as all those guns and parts dissapeared first, closely followed by shotgun parts and ammunition/reloading consumables. I got caught out last time on primers. That wont ever happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 If anyone uses RL15 and is having trouble getting supplies then Dauntsey Guns (Wiltshire) are expecting some in May. Expecting and getting are two different things! I just sold 25lbs of RL15 to a pal in Nottingham and he still has about 10lbs for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 As I see it this is similar to the fuel shortages we had here. You have panic buying of whatever (powder bullets sugar fuel doesn't matter what) The supply chain production are set up for normal sales volume. Most companies have years of orders to work this out from. Add a war or two then set people off hoarding because they fear a ban or restriction to be imposed. And the supply chain can't cope. I can't see it getting any better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 As I have posted on another site, the 'panic' buying is over and has been since December. There haven't been any compnents to panic buy. I looked through four large stores last night, including a Cabelas, and there were no rifle powders at all. In central Montana where shooting is a mainstay, this is significant. Our small local shop carried a large overstock of goods so we actually made out better. Still have BR-4's and Winchester Rifle primers. Some pistol powders and some IMR 4007 powders. When i asked the owner when the next shipments of components were coming he shrugged and said, "Tomorrow? Next fall?? I have no clue." Glad I am well stocked.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I picked up some H4350 up today from my LGS he says hes had no problems getting powders not that he stocks huge amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
