Until the war in Ukraine is settled & as long as nothing else similar brews up I am not banking on supplies improving in much if any in the coming year. Lets just say I hope they do. Primer price & availability concern me more than anything. Can't attribute the primer shortage to the war nearly as much as I do powder.
Recentlyseen footage suggesting that 95% of our powder is going to military use. 5% to the general public. Lions share of the powder is going into morter rounds. Over 20 lbs of powder per mortar round. Yea, not the same powders we are using, in the mortar rounds, though the same raw materials for the most part, Just different formulations. Bit of an eye opener
