They wet themselves over anything European. Same cause we fought two war to tell the Brits and Europe no thanks.

At my local shop tonight I was able to pick up my very first can of Trail Boss tonight... the last one they had. The shelves were full of everything Alliant. IMR and HODGDON stuff was hit or miss. I had two kids to contend with, so i dont remember what i saw from Winchester or Vihtavuori. Seemed like there were a a lot of bullets in stock that were not about two weeks ago. (Speer, Nosler, Hornady, Sierra) . In the firearms department I mentioned that the place was the slowest I'd ever seen it to a guy thats worked there for almost 10 year. He said it dropped off a few weeks ago, think everyone thats buying has had there fill or done run out of cash. Ive also noticed the prices of ammo coming down bit in clearance sales. Hopefully these trends continue .

Is it just me or are small pistol primers drying up again?

No, they've all showed up here in Europe! We seem to have a shortage on LARGE pistol primers, but supplies on SMALL are OK. Well, except Federal, which is hard to get anyway.

They take up half 5he shelf out here ,I wish I could get the standard large pistol.....

I only find Large Mag pistol primers so that is what my loads are based on.
