I ordered a Lee Precision Classic Turret Press Kit before Thanksgiving. I had been checking on it oh every few weeks since Christmas and had seen it showed on the site. "Out of stock, NO BACKORDER." Being curious if my order would ever be filled (it had an ETA of Late Feb when I had ordered in November) I called them. The gentleman on the phone had let me know that they stopped taking orders because Lee had let them know how far behind they were. When I inquired about how far behind we were talking he said this. -- For dies it's 3 to 5 months, for presses it's 4 to 8 months. I asked about components, he said he was told by Federal that primers ordered now would show up in Q3 2022. that's 18 months guys.
This could be THE shortage if this holds true, because I don't forsee anything good politically happening in the next 18 months.
