Finally got me some small and large pistol primers.
The gun shop I frequent had a whole lotta small and large pistol, large rifle, and large rifle magnum...
Last week they got in a bunch of powder.
Things are looking up.
Anyone else seeing supplies coming in?

Re: Primers
Hey Waldo, good to see you back here hanging out. An industry friend told me yesterday they're starting to see it loosen up a tad, and my wife also told me she's seeing signs of things getting better (she's the purchasing agent for a major bullet company). It will take a while, but it should return to 'normal', whatever that means.
One question I've had: With all the companies that make primers running three shifts and shipping every day, WHERE are all these primers now? In some government warehouse somewhere? Did some entity buy up a zillion primers? WTF?![chin :chin:](./images/smilies/chin.gif)

Re: Primers
Way to score on the primers! I work at an outdoor store and we even ran out of shotgun primers. Federal said that they were 5 months behind on orders for primers. I heard that there will not be any more match primers by Federal until next year. Heard that Hodgdons will have some more powder on the market this month.

Re: Primers
None to be had out here in Sunny Alberta. I still have about 2 or 3 thou so I should be okay for this season.
