Bull Mastiff: thanks for posting Winchesters and Federal's reply.
I believe it goes without saying everyone is buying ammo and/or reloading components up because of the current political/economic mess. Given the manufacturers priorities, they will supply the military first, the police second, the ammunition makers like black hills third, and reloading components lastly. We all know were we are in the pecking order of things. It will clear up in a year or two if they don't try for another AWB soon.
