Thread: Is this really the state of component shortages?

There is a way to defeat the gougers - don't buy from them.

We, in NZ, had it too good for a while.
We didn't need to carry sufficient amounts of components because we could always buy more at fair prices.
We were wrong.

I reload for my son & I, somewhere between 3000 & 4500 rounds per year.
I've always tried to have at least one year's stock of components on the shelf.
Buying larger quantities allowed negotiations on price.

Is that hoarding, or being prudent?
