Say what you will

Recently I've read a few threads about lack of supplies and on-line companies we should "black-list" and things of that nature. So I just wanted to say a few things.
I've been into guns since I was a wee one. Bought my first one when I was 18 and have had a bunch and traded or gave away a bunch. Still have a bunch and built my own. I'm 70 now but am just getting into BP. I just started looking since Feb. and I've already got powder, caps and most everything else I'll need to go shoot. And today just got an email from Dixie that my rifle kit is shipping.
So everything is out there you just need to look for it. And somethings are taking a little longer but just wait it will get there. Now go shot.

Well said. I've been able to get everything I need as well. Most of the delays and problems are the fault of Covid, record breaking sales, or lazy employees that are milking the unemployment benefits, not the companies themselves. If you have a local BP club you can join, that can help you obtain caps, powder, etc...

I work in a factory/warehouse and we have been hit pretty hard, not so much by employees being out sick, but by delays in shipments of materials and supplies. That and the fact our sales are like triple what they normally would be right now.

I'm trying to be patient with suppliers, though it does aggravate me that the USPS shipping has gone to hell, yet they continue to tell you via tracking that your priority package will be there in 2-3 days, knowing full well it will be much longer.

Just to add that I've been able to get all the stuff I need. I just shop around, it might take me a few more minutes or hours to get there but hell, I'm retired and got plenty of time.
