Is it just me or is there a shortage on pellets and slugs ? I have a good backup supply but just checking retailers don;t seem to be restocking as fast as pre
pandemic.
Besides the obvious pandemic causing a slow down is there a shortage on lead ? Anyone know anything ?

Not just you, and not just lead...

I am still okay as I really don't shoot too much, but I know you are not the only one found out the shop run out of your favor lead when you see the need to refill the ammo box...

Just seems like JSB and H&N are lagging behind

He should add H&N slugs to his list. Maybe he will some day.

I noticed that some Canadian dealers are Out of Stock on many of the JSB and H&N pellets but many other dealers still have them. Not sure on the slugs. I also noticed that the prices are all over the place. A tin from these companies is advertised as low as $13.00 with a high price of well over $20 for the same pellets.

Here are some pellet dealers in Canada. I just Google searched so there is no particular order to the list. Please ad links if I missed any good ones.

I was waiting for my club to open the gates, and over this past one year (or a lill longer) I have collected over 7K pellets in .25 and some 3K in .22, but nowhere to shoot.
Finally I got to my bench, not much to worry about lead for now, but I am expecting a shortage with oil for my YH compressor, every week two big SCBA bottles to refill needs a good maintenance . Just to make sure I can keep my game on surface I ordered a full rebuild kit directly from YH, for spare and service parts if needed.

I'm thinking this too, I've been looking for Crosman Premium Wadcutters .177 for this M17. My CT has Hollow Points, only that i would be interested in. I bought these Wadcutters from Bass Pro in 250 tin, I might just pick up Hollow points. All my favorite stores are out of alot. I know why....
