Cats that are in the competitive shooting circuits around here are running around like crackheads looking for small pistol and small rifle primers. I've been reloading since before BHO and I've never seen reloading supplies get like they are now but the ammo demand has stripped the supply so the prices have tripled on the popular calibers so people decide to jump into reloading and buy up those supplies as well, if you can find them, the ammo manufacturers are draining the primer pool, there are only 4 US companies who make primers. People who don't even reload are buying primers, hoping to trade them for finished ammo, noting wrong with that...just kinda hard to make the finished ammo without the primer.
