Supply has notseems like this is becoming a cycle. The old argument against increasing production capacity that “this is temporary” isn’t really holding water any more.I will say that in the past ammo panics, hunting rifle ammo and shot shells were never been hard to find. It was all pistol/ar/22lr related stuff. Now all I can find for reloading is target bullets. Go figure…Completely agree. Production is going to have to double if not more to catch up. That’s expensive and as companies try to catch up qc issues will arise as many have seen already. I think a lot of these companies are just hoping to catch up like they have in years past. I don’t see that happening. It’s going to take a lot more equipment and labor to match today’s markets, that’s going to mean price increases as well as possible qc issues as production gets ramped upI've definitely noticed price increase,even with hornady ,which is about all you find reliable these days.I will give hornady that,they didn't throw reloader under the bus. And I have been trying to send money there way just cause of that.

Demand has doubled. Supply has not
7mm/.284 is so popular. I think the 7mm-08 is really taking off right now. Folks are finally figuring out how awesome the 7mm-08 is. I do think there is a shift away from the super mags, with the help of the popularity of the 6.5 manbun. This popularity has really boosted the 7mm-08. I hear ya, I rarely see 7mm bullets on store shelves. I have been wanting to try the Sierra tipped game king. Wonder if it is as good as an Accubond?

Wonder if it is as good as an Accubond?I can find 7mm bullets for the 7mm-08 ,yesterday alone at different stores seen 120 grain BT, And some 145 hot cor that would be perfect.I can't use the light weight bullets in my 7 mag.They already blow apart in the 150-160 range.So I refuse to use lighter ones.

I’ve never had a issue shooting 140 Partitions out of mine, what do you mean “blow apart”?
Remember when primers were $25 a brick for the good stuff

I just came here to complain about Shooter's Pro Shop changing their website. It was OK before but it really sucks now. Can't even filter by "in stock." Worthless!
Picked up two boxes of 6.5 Nosler ABLR 150, and 3 boxes of 6.5 Nosler Partition 140 this week at the local store.
