Anyone know if any stores have small pistol primers, I know DSH is out (except for expensive match magnum), and academy was out a couple days ago. Anyone been by kevin's?

Not quite out, but down to only a couple hundred. If this continues it won't be good for any shooters or reloaders.

Are you starting to see a shortage? It's been a while since I've had to shop for anything...

Yeah there's a pretty major shortage of ammo, but reloading stuff as well. Some places less frequented like DSH still have powder but the primers seem to be the first to go everywhere. Academy is also cleaned out of ammo for the most part.

A lot of the major ammo websites like SGammo have raised their prices some and are low on stock.

All the new gun owners + the old ones panic buying I guess

Dsh is really the only place I buy from. Cookies and powder is what's up...

yeah they are good people. Tom and Dawn have always been friendly.

I try to avoid Kevin's but they do have a decent selection of powders

yeah, they only carry like 5 or 6 different hogdon powders too. Wish they would have a better selection, or other brands.
