My friend would...he loads commercially...he could used 6 cases of any kind of primer right nowYeah, but I have seen folks with 30k primers in cases for sale. Who buys that much? All of the same type.

If we quit paying these ridiculous prices then those deep stacks would remain deep stacks. We are creating our own mess. I like to have my fair share stacked up just as well as the next guy but I am not going to sell a kidney just to put box #99 of 250 savage hunting ammo on the shelf because someone else will buy it if I don't
Your late.......it’s been happening since last summer, and getting worse.The next battle is everyone jockeying for reloading supplies. It's painfully obvious we all need to learn the art of reloading.

Reloading components have been getting scarce since last summer. That’s why primers are $300 for a thousand on Gunbroker.Naw dog.. I'm not late but I still like to buy Hornady ammo for a few rifles then reuse the brass. I'm speaking for the mass of people sick of the shortage and implying that the reloading component availability is going to be worse than finding a box of your fav ammo.
Buckle up cowboys... Errrrr body is going to start reloading.
Yeah, but he ain't selling it.My friend would...he loads commercially...he could used 6 cases of any kind of primer right now
Those that are buying primers at inflated prices ($300/1000) are hedging that prices won’t be going down in the foreseeable future, or just really need them bad now.
I understand supply and demand. I understand capitalism. I also acknowledge that there is an element of greed also in the mix. Those that are buying primers at inflated prices ($300/1000) are hedging that prices won’t be going down in the foreseeable future...
No ammo=fewer gun sales=less shooting=ranges closing=gun shops closing= future prices staying high or getting higher. All that leads to a negative effect on the industry and us consumers.
Yeah, but he ain't selling it.
That .30 cent a primer is what the scalpers are charging. I bet that isn't what the ammo companies are paying. Just about 4 weeks ago I picked up 3 boxes of CCI large rifle primers from Academy for $49.99 per 1000, that is .05 cents per primer. That is almost exactly what Academy was charging for them 2 years ago. So I suspect they are paying the same prices for them they did back then.I think it is more about having it now.
$0.30/primer is gonna jack up the bullet price a bit and even the newer folks knew that $50/box was not normal.
Yeah, they were 1.8cent per before Obama. Then settled around 3.5-4 cent for years. But Academy was always a bit high on primers. Only time I bought from there in the past was because they had Federal SP in stock and no one else did. Most other places I could get 1k for about $35.Primers should cost pennies each. Last time I bought at Bass Pro it was $40/1000.
I meant $50/box of bullets not being normal. $40-$50 for box of primers was normal. Gonna fix it in post.
