O picked this up on the wire today. It may or may not impact some of us in the near future but its possible it could in the long haul as supplies tighten up if this plays out.

Bad news. Most likely due to the world-wide shortage of nitrocellulose right now. Thanks for posting, Jim.
That's probably due to the crap going on in Ukraine and Isreal. I'll be glad when the world returns to 'normal'.....as if that could ever happen.
Glad I laid in a good stash of all the powders I use. Seems "just in case" has been realized.

Likewise here with me Rick. It really pays to do so now days, with the way things are going and all the problems with the wars and the way even this government in Wash DC and various states has been headed. Those of us prepared will survive, that the did not will really suffer and go without and it is not just powder and shot.

Don't live in AR. Far n.e. corner of Commie California. But so far my one local GS has been fairly good at getting the powders I need or I find some on line. And as mentioned I am fairly well supplied, with some in the loading room.
