I can understand the shortage of firearms and ammo. It's a kneejerk reaction to Obama getting re-elected .... and a no brainer.
I can even understand the shortage of primers and powder, sort of.
What I can't for the life of me understand is the shortage of reloading tools. Did the election results create this? I don't see how. I don't think several thousand new gun owners all decided to jump into reloading all at once buying up all available inventory.
Dillon, Hornady, RCBS, LEE and most bullet manufacturers are behind, they are all backordering parts, kits and new presses. I'd like to get a few extra parts for my soon to arrive Hornady LNL like extra primer pickup tubes, a micro adjuster for the powder throw and a few other odds and ends. No luck, seems most everyone is out of stock.
Why is it that the reloading tool industry is so far behind? Maybe its hoarding?
