The only question is exactly what will start it.

I am getting ads from CDNN for 22 ammo. Bricks for $39.00 for Thunder Bolt, Federal Auto Match 325 rounds for $34.00 (picked up 2 boxes for $17.00 a box Memorial weekend in Idaho Falls) and another brand for a brick a little over $30.00. Still very high but down a bunch from last year and much more available. I am in Wyoming monthly and I have been able to buy as much as I like of HP-38 and Tight Group. Will have to look more fo Blue Dot. I think we are slowly returning to normal. Hope those in power due not cause a panic again.

than I haven't got there yet.

However, I have noted a significant increase in powder availability as of late. In fact, I saw a 4 pounder of BD today at one of the LGS's. Hopefully it's an indicator for us all.

Blue Dot and the 41 Mag

Have been using Blue Dot in the 41 Mag since the 90's. Read articles by Paco Kelly. He was a 41 Mag fan. He said Blue Dot was the champagne of gun powders for the 41 Mag. I never used as much as he did but have always used 12 Grains with a 210 Gr. cast. I never paid attention to the dire warnings that surfaced a few years ago about Blue Dot and the 41 Mag. Well I am almost out of my supply of Blue Dot and have not seen any in a few years. Have many other powders that will work but Paco's advice was spot on.
