Looked at the primer shelves.....good grief! I'll bet they didnt have 2,000 primers total in large pistol/large rifle/small pistol/small rifle, they had maybe 4,000 shotgun primers and thats it. Mostly empty shelves. 6 or 7 pounds of accurate arms powder, lots of empty space. They did have quite a few of the 8 pound powder kegs, but not many of the 1 pound size. It was the same way back in December, not much selection. I thought the shortage might have caught up by now, but guess not! They did have about 10-12 pounds of 'P' Pyrodex, but no other granulation. Last time I was there they didnt have any Pyrodex at all. DM

When they first opened, the shelves were FULL! Now that they've been open about two years, I don't think that they've ever restocked anything from the original grand opening. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

Hopefully they will at least return to the levels they had a few years ago and maybe improve on it. That's where I bought most of my powder and primers and their prices were ok.

Now, allmost all the 8# kegs of powder are gone! They are really cleaned out of powder & primers, lots of expensive jacketed bullets in stock tho. DM

They had no rifle or pistol primers. Plenty shot shell primers, Plenty of some powders. Not enough bullets. Picked up a Lb. of H335 and a pack of 165 gr. Nosler Ballistic tip 308. I still have a little over a brick of primers, about 500 bullets and 5 lbs of powder. It will last about over a year. I don't shoot as much as some of you.skd

Today I stopped by after work and they had a few new boxes of Hornady bullets. Then when I talked to the sporting goods guy he said they got a shipment and that's just the few boxes that were left. Ha said reloading components are being bought up as soon as they restock.
