This is something I can't quite figure out either. I've been looking for W231 for quite a while now. I'm down to about 1.5 pounds (about 1500 rounds worth) and was able to get my hands on some AA No. 5 at the shot show but powders shouldn't be this rare at this point.TVGuy wrote:I understand brief periods of low inventory for factory loads, but I'm beyond perplexed by the ongoing shortage of handgun powders. Anyone have any knowledge why it's so bad? The percentage of re-loaders is relatively low compared to the general shooting population and preppers even lower. Anyone have any idea why it's so bad?
I have enough primers to last me through the apocalypse but the lack of powder is going to turn my handguns into rocks.
