The truth is that I didn't have a clue about the powder shortage within Canada until I read this thread by the OP Kobs. :D

I am one Lucky guy, I use air to move my projectiles :wink: :wink: But it is very strange that there doesn`t seem to be any lack of powders in the war zones..

It's no wonder that there are shortages of ammunition and powder from time to time, which is compounded by hoarding. There are more guns in America today than ever before -- that is about one gun for every American, a 1:1 ratio. In Canada the ratio is about 0.3:1. See the conservative publication The Daily Caller for more numbers http://dailycaller.com/2014/11/04/gun-o ... e-numbers/ More guns means more demand for shooting supplies.

The US Government via its various agencies, is the largest, most prolific hoarder of ammunition, not American gun owners:

Prison Planet publishes all manner of reports, including one from today that headlines "New Obama Policy Would Make 'Merely Posting Firearm Information on the Internet' a Crime". Such reporting is fearmongering at best, and agenda-driven ideological drivel at worse.

But I suppose if reports that support allegations of a government conspiracy to deprive people of powder can be found on the internet then they must be true. Are there reports in other less anti-Obama media that corroborate the claims made in PP?

700X isn't bad, it fits most handgun caliber with a decent amount of Gr.
