Evidently their is still a components shortage.

I went out looking for .243 bullets today and they had a few in the 60 grain range but not much as far as heavier bullets. Most of what I saw was premium bullets that come with a premium price. I guess it makes sense to make the most expensive products when their is a shortage.

I ended up with a box of 90 grain Hornady ELDX.

Are you guys seeing the same thing in your neck of the woods?

Have been seeing a steady increase of everything except primers.

Like you saw, workable substitutes but not always exactly what you want.

Seeing lots of loaded ammo, 9mm, 45, 223, 308.

Not many bullets in user friendly calibers. Also not seeing limits on # of purchasers. figure by May things will be good (a little expensive, but there).

I was a little surprised. Bullets were never impossible to get so I figured they would be the first thing coming back.

I still don't know where all the Sierra bullets are going. It's very seldom I see Sierras. I see more Hornady and Berger than anything.
