More Powder woes with Vihtavuori?

[searcher]

I just saw that Finland is to halt shipments of powder and ammunition to the defense forces (going to Ukraine), as the plant workers are going on strike - including the plant where Vihtavuori powder is made. If I shot that powder and needed some - might be good time to buy it?

strike is only 2 days.
And it might be possible that government does not allow strike on Nammo factories.
At this moment almost all workers unions in Finland are going to have 2 days strike at beginning of february, Unions disagree some new laws which affect unions.

These days there is never a "bad time" to buy powder....or bullets.....or brass....and especially primers.

I ordered mine a couple of days ago.

Got mine as well...
As Juppe12 mentioned the gov may intervene in the planned strike anyway and it me be a non issue.

I assume they have a eye peeled to what Alliant and Hodgdon have been up to also.

If they are to halt shipments of ammo and powder over a two-day strike, I'd say that shows there is no inventory at all. And the Ukrainians supposedly just blew up a big gunpowder factory in Russia - who will likely be seeking out additional powder sources. Seems the gunpowder supply is strained, at best. Looking forward to better times on that front.
