I knew ammo and reloading supplies were in short supply. But all I needed were some simple overshot cards to adjust the length of some 20 ga loads using some WSF powder I inherited. Just fire off an order to Ballistic Products right?
Wrong. I usually go down a gauge in overshot card size but 28 ga came up unavailable so I hit the arrow to see the whole list. Luckily they had plenty of 24 ga but they only had stock in a couple odd gauges like 32 and 17.
Lack of supply? Demand? I know a lot of their stuff comes from Europe and things are somewhat slow there but come on. I just sold an outboard motor to a chap in the Netherlands and the way he talked things are booming there. His boat is in Spain and he and his girfriend were just down there and had no problems getting food for onboard or finding a place to eat. Lots of folks out and about spending money.
It's worse than I thought...

Re: It's worse than I thought...
Thanks for the alternates. I've bought from BP for so long I didn't bother to look around until now.
Thanks for the offer on the wads. Shipping has truly gotten crazy, though if it fits in a flat rate box it's not so bad. I ended up ordering 1000 of the 24 ga over shot cards and the shipping was over half what the cards cost. But at least I'm still shooting skeet every week.
