I understand the thinking of ADI and the issues they had. I made it hard for a lot of people. Fortunately I have plenty of the powders I use and was able to help a few people out with 2205 and primers during the shortages. These people were amazed I sold them the powder at the same price I paid and didn't charge what some were asking. I didn't want to make money , just see them to be able to keep hunting was enough for me.

A man after my own heart you are Mr Nelson.
The shortages were awful for everybody. And yes, some sought to take advantage by offering components for sale at exorbitant prices ( in my old fashioned opinion ) and while many complained I guess it's just market forces at work. Some of the most desperate paid up just to keep shooting.
I viewed the situation as an opportunity to help a few of my closest friends by giving some primers and powders I had on hand that I wasn't expecting to ues in the short term. Some stuff I even gave gratis as, like you, I was more interested in helping than thinking of recovering cost. With good guys such acts will pay off I believe. One of these friends, knowing I was desperate for some Federal Magnum 215 primers, was recently asked to help dispose of some unwanted packs. He gave me first option to take some and thus supplied me with a stash sufficient for a whole year. I love good Karma.
