Primers? whats up

Just curious if someone could explain to me why all the primers are gone. I understand supply and demand and that we have a war but shesh you think there would be some out there. Every gun shop in my state seems to be out.

The same thing happened in the early Clinton era. Barring craziness in DC they'll be back soon.

People were buying ammo along with all the guns since November. When ammo manufacturers have to load a lot more ammo, like for the war effort, reloaders suffer. I stocked up a while ago. I have 25k small rifle primers, 15k large rifle primers, 7k small pistol, 5k large pistol, and about 10k rounds of various ammo loaded.

Wish you were in South TX....I would swap you some large rifle magnum primers for some of those small rifle

I always seem to need a brick when the crazyness / hoarding starts.
