Powder shortage coming?

[ECS686]

While there will no doubt be some increase in prices people should probably not go crazy as that buying fee day is what makes it worse than it really is.

But some like the panic environment and
Flipping ammo so there’s that!

If Captain Kirk could come up with the ingredients on a hostile asteroid, I'm sure wiley Hoosiers can get by with Rural Kings and Walmarts around.

LOL! Funny that episode was on the other day.

I remember as a kid, that Gorn episode kind of freaked me out.
Now when I watch it, I can maintain my composure.

It freaked me out too! And Sheldon even has a nightmare about it on Big Bang Theory. Are we nerds??

Some panic crap is already started. Gf suggested getting tp cause she read people were already panicking. I went to walmart earlier to get tp and paper towels being i needed them anyways. Shelves really weren't empty, but a couple brands were super low.

I think there's been some ammo panic buying since the longshoreman strike. Though idk how that's really related...do we even import that much ammo through east coast ports?

Powder and Power shortage BOTH

Ammo should come in mostly west coast. Prices have been extremely low recently, many folks have been telling others to stock up...

Lol... factory ammo.

But aren't some reloading components of west coast ships too? I used Hodgdon powders and S&A primers which I guess get imported through them NAFTA roads.

Perhaps, but there's enough already here to last a long time. We're not seeing the typical buying frenzy we've seen in previous election cycles, thankfully.

The panic will/could happen post election.

The more ramped up the Israel/Iran war gets the more people (sheeple) going to run to the ammo store.

If things happen Oct. 7/8 here like I have been told will happen then the supplies will be short or gone.

Hearing 7 to 9 cities having a Hamas style event in the USA on the anniversary of the Hamas Israel strike or on the birthday of Mohammad.

And now I have officially been put on the watch list.

If one is not prepared now, you're not gonna get prepared. Ever.

Huh.

The reason you are not seeing a panic buy right now is the money has run out. The biden economy has hit everyone now and those that have already have and those that dont cant afford it

Prices are down significantly from their highs, primers went from $150/k to $60/k. I'm not seeing spending curtailed very much.

There is still money out there, the retail sector is strong and the shopping season is starting up. I have three vantage points from three companies and people ARE spending.
