We all know what a drought in components there is right now. Do any of you think that this shortage is temporary? Do you think that we are likely to see some relief come late spring or summer (assuming that no draconian laws are passed).

Right now, I'm waiting to buy powder, brass and primers till they become more available but I'm starting to think that maybe I ought to buy when and how much I can, while I can. How much of this do you believe is being triggered by a hoarding mentality? Further, do you think that the manufactures are likely to ramp up production to meet demand?
