Due to the rising cost of ammo and the lack of availability (and wanting to hold on to my own supply), I recently became interested in shooting air guns again. I recently began running low on pellets, so I went online to order more. I visited several popular sites and noticed ALL of them were "out of stock" on the most common pellets. I finally found one site who had what I wanted, so I placed my order. A few hours later, I received an email stating that my order had been cancelled because the items were "out of stock". The email went on to say that they had no ETA for backorders so they were providing a full refund. Now I understand in today's "climate" people have been stockpiling ammo and the demand has become greater than the supply. But why does there appear to be a shortage of pellets? Certainly people aren't stockpiling them for self defense.
