[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 323862, member: 412"] Scheels in Fargo hasn't put powder on the shelves since they built their new store on 45th. It's kept in a powder magazine in a support area. Good lord folks have SHORT memories. At this time last yr, the ammo factories that were open producing ammo were running 1/2 staff or less/shift trying to maintain safe "social distancing". Remington was shut down completely due to bankruptcy. Fiocchi was shut down for quite a spell while Italy endured the brunt of CV-19 last summer. Easily 1/3 of the capacity needed to keep the American shooting public happy was completely unavailable. The other 2/3rds was running @ 1/2 capacity or less. Ammo comes in to multiple stores multiple times/wk. When it happens you see all manner of goofy stuff. I've found baskets with ammo in them in other random areas of the store, my assumption is that folks are "hiding" it either to come back and get for themselves later, or, hiding it for friends to come and get later. NOBODY buys ammo alone anymore, everyone brings their domestic partner, a kid or 6, as well as Grandpa. Granted it's been a bit over 20yrs, but, when I worked for Scheels, almost nobody bought 8# kegs of powder, and very few folks bought entire bricks of primers. [/QUOTE]
