    Can't get brass, can't get military surplus, I know the supply chain problems are still there, but where is everything in 2022?

    I can't order ANY reloading brass or bullets that I want (everything is back order). I can't order any BLANKS (dog training 12 gauge) because they're extinct in this country. I can't even relax and buy some militaria. Unless it's airsoft/china reproductions, even WEB gear from over 20 years ago is getting scarce. M1 steel pot helmets have skyrocketed in price on Ebay (I remember buying them for 10 bucks at the surplus store).

    I've been patiently waiting since 2020 to get ANYTHING. I feel like I'm in Soviet Russia, where shortages are so severe that you have to get on a damned three year waiting list only to get a handful of items.

    Just venting.

    That's kind of the idea. The democraps/communists want us to feel right at home with their designs for us peasents. If they could, they would send us all to reeducation camps or gulags. Once they get out guns, you can bet it will happen.

    Actually, it's more of a sideways gun-control move. Since the Commucrats can't get away with outright outlawing civilian firearm ownership, they have taken a different tack....make it nearly impossible to feed the firearm.

    After all, guns are pretty useless if there's no ammo to load in them.

    No matter what the item is, if there's a shortage of it, it's all by design and deliberate.

    Well hang onto your shorts when things do come back in stock, i'm sorry to admit this but i just paid $375 for 8 lbs of Varget gunpowder. It's been unavailable for 6 months or longer. My local dealer finally got some in stock and i didn't even ask the price, he sold out in 24 hrs...so there's a lot of other dummies out there

    I don't reload to save money, i reload for precision accuracy and that's never been cheap but it's gonna be a whole lotta more from now on.

    are you talking ammo? Or reloading supplies? Because I can't find ANY reloading supplies in the calibers I need.
