I have been finding a few decent deals on components here and there throughout the pandemic but it looks like things are really starting to really tighten up now. A friend is heading out on a pig hunt soon and wanted some 45-70 ammo for his new lever gun. He turned to me as he could find none available. I poked around my honey holes and turned up empty as well. I ended up kind of casting a broad net looking for components for several cartridges I shoot including 45-70. I was appalled at the lack of availability. It is as bad as I have ever seen it. Luckily I have enough in my personal stash to keep myself shooting but depending how long this goes on my shooting may get affected as well. I told my friend I would load him some 45-70 for the hunt if needed but hopefully he can beg and borrow for some factory fodder. It is bad to the bone out there and the outlook is pretty bleak. Buckle up gents the pavement is about to end.
