Just curious if there are any reloaders here that have noticed the scarcity of primers. Specifically, small rifle and pistol primers. Almost no one has ANY quantity in stock and the local shops that do have a few will only sell 200+- to a given customer.
It's far worse than '93-'94 and I find it somewhat unbelievable. I'm convinced there are people buying tens of thousands of primers to hoard who shoot very little and haven't reloaded 1000 rounds in their entire lives.
I have a course to take in a couple of months that will require 500-1000 rounds of pistol ammunition. No way am I going to shoot factory ammo. Unless something changes, it seems I might be using small rifle primers to load the required quantity of .40 S&W ammo. At least I have a lot of those.
Just unbelievable...
