Inquiring mind wants to know

[Valentine]

Is there a black market for primers going on, or did everybody just surrender to buying factory ammunition?

Of course, word is that some fellas have a twelve year primer supply.

They're becoming more and more available, at least around here. BUT they're still fetchin' a pretty hefty price tag.
Even on gunbroker, they're getting to be some "better" deals, but still far and few between.

It sort of looked for a while that supplies was coming back. Glad I didn't fall for the misconception. Every time my supplier got LR in I bought a couple of thousand. Then I heard that Powder valley had wolf LR in and so I ordered and got 6000 (more to help out with the 25 hazmat than anything else) of them. I should be good though hunting season I think. She still does have MLR on the shelf but I don't need them.

I have noticed some primers are showing up on the shelves. Federal-215 Large Magnum Rifle primers are still very hard to come by around here.

The two primers I use the most:
1) Winchester Large Rifle
2) Federal-215 Large Magnum Rifle

The Winchester primers I have enough of to get by,
the Federal-215 I could still use a couple more bricks.

My local shop had a 3month shortage over a yr ago but they've had a bunch everytime I go in there ever since.
