Just looked on the Lee website, apart from 6.5 X 55 Mauser all of the 3 die sets are showing out of stock! - Madness!!!
Do you still have the .223 dies etc? i am in the market for a set! If you do, please PM me with you contact details!
thanks

The panic buying seems to be for .223/5.56 stuff, I've been looking at all the reloading sites over here and there isn't a set of .223 dies to be had anywhere. It's the same with .223 brass and bullets, none to be had anywhere. Fortunately I'm okay for both, I have a couple of thousand rounds made up and I'm also good for brass and bullets.

Blu, I was in Basspro here, shelves are bare.
Pistol ammo of any kind is seriously scarce right now, maybe different where you are. Walmarts' are empty of ammo, local one to me got 1000 rounds 9mm in on Thursday, gone in an hour. Ammo rationed at three boxes a time / day.

Chuck, I was in a couple of shops on Saturday, no shortage of ammo here. Again though I am okay for pistol ammo, during the long winter nights I do all my reloading for the whole year.

Hi.
sorry this is not exactly the subject of the thread but I am having tha same issue trying to get my RCBS turret reloading kit.
I Have been told stock is 0 because nothing is coming from the USA because they are buying anything and everything just in case gun-laws change over there...
Crazy world we live in...
Regards,

According to the Ammo buyer for our club, bulk quantities of .22 ammo with the wholesalers here is low...
