From Hornady

Weird thing today...or so I thought.
Picked up a pound of re17 at the local gunshop. The lot number was dated 2009.
Seems weird in this day and age of shortages it took 5 years to hit the retail shelves.
What are others seeing for lot dates on recent purchases?
 
Thinking someone is holding them back?
 
162 AMAX and 162 Match BTHP

Loaded ammo is good but I am much more interested in seeing more reloading components back on the shelves and available to the public... ie. bullets, powder & primers.
 
There are a number of bullets listed that are being released, Al.
 
Seems everything but 22 LR can be found with some effort. In the past year I've found 9 lbs of H4350, 9 lbs of H4831, and 9 lbs of Varget. I saw some CCI LR primers for sale the other day, and I've not had much difficulty finding brass.

FWIW, those powder amounts seem large, but it's really just a keg and another 1-lb container. I prefer to get powder in kegs so I don't have to worry about lot to lot variation.
 
Yep. I was in Grand Island NE ( Hornady's hometown) and stopped by the LGS who is friends with Steve Hornady and I picked up three boxes of 105gr 6mm Amax. He was well stocked with most all Hornady bullets.

Powder having a 2009 date is suspicious to me. I wonder who was keeping it from market?
