As Brian said, pistol powder (online at least) is very rare these days. I've been checking Natchez and others for months in the hopes of picking up 4 or 8 lbs of a fast pistol powder, but no dice.

I do take exception to at least one thing in the article - "More gun owners means more ammo being shot."

The range I frequent has been hurt by the ammo shortage and is NOT getting the volume of shooters or ammo expended it did a year or two ago. I myself am shooting a lot less, pretty much sticking to my regular weekend matches with no casual shooting in between. I think a lot of other formerly regular shooters are doing the same.

I was in three different WalMarts today.......bought three 50rnd boxes of CCI .22 in each. Each of those three stores had 60-70 boxes in the display case. Prices were normal prepanic prices.
Maybe, but that's not the situation here in Florida. Bricks or 50-round boxes of standard plinking .22LR ammo are just not to be found.
