Why is this happening?
Or, I should have wrote, why is this going on for so long?
Lot's of speculation as to why it is happening and why it has gone on so long...the general consensus is that there are *so* many new gunners the last few years that powder (ammunition production in general) is simply snapped up as fast as it can be made or being hoarded.
The there are the conspiracy theories.
Truth is we have to be pro active and really pay attention. Most of the online places I used to get powder (handgun) are very spotty and most rarely have much of what I need long enough to score any. I did find at the Bass Pro Shop 90 miles away about everything I needed on the shelves. With 8 lbs of powder and being able to load about 1500 9mm rounds per pound I am set for a couple years.
Search, search, search and buy it where you find it is my only advice.
