Competition strategies during ammo shortage??

[Nooch13]

So I have not been very active in competitions since I left Oklahoma a few years ago. I was hoping to get back into things, but hell, finding enough ammo or reloading components is proving nearly impossible. Are any competitions reducing their round counts?? Any other ideas other than continue to scrounge??

Seems like COF's are staying the same....Either get into reloading or reduce the amount of matches you go to if it's hard to find ammo.... I like shooting too much to go down on matches so i bit the bullet on reloading

I practice when i can but conserve when it doesnt benifit anyone but the enemy and gougers.

Reloading components aren't exactly easy to come by at the moment either.

I haven't been able to buy 6.5 ELD-Ms for 12 months now and the supply of powder has not been much better.
Lapua brass has also been impossible to get, so loosing brass at a match is even more painful.

I've got one event that I'm due to go to at the end of Feb that I'm hoping a shipment of projectiles will arrive in time for that, otherwise I'll be developing a new load with what I have on hand.
Had to turn down another event as there's no way I have components for both events.

Only other option for me is to start shooting my 223 at events as I have a fair bit of ammo for that.

Unless you stocked way the hell up before components became unobtanium, reloading isn't an answer either.
