    I stocked up before the "great component famine " and have enough to last maybe 12 months at current consumption (or rest of my life if only used for hunting) and more on order to replenish

    I would take component shortage one step further, and have a look around the house at anything that may need replacing in the next year or so (fridge/freezer/washing machine etc) and have a plan. Availability of all sorts of shirt appears going from bad to worse

    There is no denying that there is less of it coming into the country and that what is coming in is costing more to bring in, but I also wonder how much the hoarding factor is contributing, About a month ago I bought some hornady 150gn rn for something close to the old price (about $70 from memory) developed a load for such occasional use that the remainder of the packet will probably last 18 months or more. I recently watchlisted a packet of the same projectiles on tardeme. I planned to buy them if the price remained at bargain levels. They went for $186.

    In the meantime they are still showing as available from Reloaders and Gunworks for $75 and $72 respectively.

    Go into K9 Products in Whakatu Hastings and see the massive extensive range of products they sell for dog tucker. Amazing. Been slaying hares. Skin following day . Freezer for week and cut in1/2 for each dog. They love it.

    They have thousands of these in stock if anyone is interested.
    And heaps of primers.
    Did they have standard LR primers?
    The website reckons no LR and only a few LR magnums (trays of 100 in stock but no boxes of 1000)

    Thanks for the offer @johnd but I’m okay for primers.
    I know a few people are having trouble getting hold of some, and I was interested to see if what was actually in the shop matched what the website said.

    They're available in stock at Gunworks and Reloaders for considerably less (than the picture above)...

    Unless another company outbids him on his container. Thats whats been happening to all companies. The shipping companies are causing chaos across the board

    Their website or Facebook page said they are expecting a shipment of ADI powder in early December, dunno if that's what Woody is referring too though.
