Shotgun ammo is in ok supply. Esp target ammo. Which is of course what is shot the most. If I need hunting ammo I can make it. 22 is nigh on impossible 30-30 ammo is findable but for some odd reason I have a lot of it. If you want to reload for it 30 cal flat nosed bullets are impossible. I had a friend from Md send me a box he had skwerled away...otherwise I just cast the same ol lead bullets(173 gr flat points and load 'em with 10 gr of Unique or another load of 5744. Guys...even reloading presses are selling like hotcakes. I sold 3 of the RCBS combos last weekend at the show. They were new and all but I had only sold 3 previously at all the shows I have done in the last couple of years. I only have 4 Rock Chuckers left in the garage(I use the older RCBS A presses if I use a single stage press). Only press I have bought lately was a Mec Sizemaster 20 ga press and I paid a bit more than usual for it at 60 bucks. But the guy gave me a couple hundred Rem STS hulls books wads about 20 bushings an adjustable charge bar and other sundry stuff. I even got a thousand CCI shotshell primers from him for an extra 10 bucks. I don't buy a lot of shotshell items cause I have so much of it. The press was dirty so I cleaned it and it is gone already for a little profit and I kept the extras. And as stated before I sold a LOT of dies..mostly standard calibers too. My hard to find cowboy type dies aren't selling well, though. I did sell a set of 38-40 and a 44-40 set but had a bunch of brass with 'em as a package deal. 45 Colt brass is extremely hard to find here. I have 'nuff for momma's guns but not enough to sell. I even got a nice 454 cal mould at the show I kept. Cleaned it up and I cast a 100 or so with it yesterday. I think it is a keeper as it cast bullets right from the first. It only cost me 20 bucks and it had handles. I got it and an Ohaus 2 cavity 250 gr mould on handles but it got sold even if it needed a cleaning. All in all components are getting harder all the tim as is ammo of popular calibers. Hoarding?? I truly don't know. people snap up stuff they can use so I don't really think it is that. I just think they can't find it so buy it when they do. I have noticed if you have popular components on a table here at a gun show..there is very little dickering The ol "snooze ya lose" thing is truly in effect. I do hope things get better
