All reloading supplies are hard to come by. If they can't get our guns they will stop the supply of ammo and reloading supplies. DEMOCRATIC B--- S---.

I was looking on behalf of a friend for some 7mm-08 dies today, midway--cabelas--etc..I was surprised to see how many were out of stock/backorder.  I get the concept of stockpiling ammo, powder, primers, etc...but dies?  Makes me wonder

  I was really surprised to pass a hardware store today and see t he sign in front of the store that read" We have bulk .223 and .308 in stock"

  It looks like every one is trying to get into the act.

They're available online, Midsouth has Redding and Lyman, Sinclair has RCBS, all are full length die sets.

Just checked Cabela's. Backordered 0-2 weeks on various Lee .223 dies. RCBS and Redding in stock. I like to backorder from Cabela's. They have coupons, you get hit with shipping once, the backorder dates are realistic. They are never the cheapest, but they walk the walk. Just ordered 3 sets of Lee dies tonite. 2 are backordered....lol

Nice to hear Cabela's has accurate backorder times, I just ordered powder, bullets, & primers from them.  I didn't think their prices were out of line, they were on par with everything else I saw.  Everything is supposed to be shipped by the end of the month, we'll see.

Don't count on the backorder time being accurate for the powder or primers.  My backorders for primers have been pushed back repeatedly over the course of several months before one of them finally being cancelled.  That said my small mag pistol primers shipped a couple weeks early.  The dates on those items are nothing more than a best guess on their part.
