How fragile are our casting equipment suppliers?
So I finally got around to trying a new Lee C309 180 mold I had ordered over a year ago. My Ruger American Compact just loves this boolit over 17 gr. of 2400. Got a 1/2" group at 50 yds. yesterday. This is just a 2 cavity mold and I thought I would pick up another so I could use two at a time. Well, that mold along with a lot of other Lee molds was out of stock everywhere I looked. That got me thinking of what it would be like if Lee went under. They make quite a few products for casters that no one else makes. Their Pro 4-20 pot for instance. Simple and affordable and something I would not want to do without. I did notice that the mold is still available on Lee's website. Going to order one today along with a spare 4-20 pot and some of their case forming lube.
I worry that the fallout from this Chicom virus pandemic could kill off some of our suppliers. What do you all think?

It’s not times like this when you have to worry about them. They can’t get products out the door fast enough. A shift in the political climate will effect them more. All it takes is some inane legislation and they would have to close their doors the next day.
