This is getting to be a major problem for USPSA shooters. Without relief, the ammo shortage may reduce 2021 participation more than Covid did in the spring of 2020.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
COVID shut off my participation for basically all of 2020, so I've still got the vast majority of the projectiles I purchased on Black Friday 2019 and primers I purchased in summer 2019. I'm all set to go once the world goes back to some semblance of normal. Hopefully everybody else hasn't run out completely by then.
Attendance is still strong in Eastern NC but I'm hearing more guys saying that may start to drop out of shooting matches if supply doesn't loosen up soon.
I wish I could find a range that is open. The local ones have "voluntarily" closed until COVID is over.
I suspect that PRS rimfire will boom in 2021 as fewer people have the specific powder/primer combo for centerfire PRS. Saw rumblings of shooters moving back to cartridge that use large rifle primers (6mm Creedmoor, 6XC, 6.5 Creedmoor even) as the 6mm BR based cartridges use small rifle primers (specifically CCI450s) which are unobtanium.
Will be curious to see if any pistol competitors dust off their 45ACPs for similar reasons.
