Re: Primers available?
3I'm not quite desperate enough to try reloading my own primer caps, but it's theoretically possible. I see them starting to come available, but at four to ten times a reasonable price. Not that desperate.
Re: Primers available?
4Nope - seems to be even worse than 2020. I’ve been totally skunked this year. Seems like all the available stock is going into overpriced ammo.

9I thought I got lucky this week when I found Cheddite shotshell primers in stock on a Dog Training products website. Couldn't get them into the cart though, so I called and they lady said they were sold out after all. I asked if she knew when they might have more in stock and she told me that all the primer factory employees had decided to stay on unemployment because they can just make more money off the government than if they work.
I'm sure that's it.

10I received a notice some large rifle primers were in at a vendor. Looked and it was $259 for a 1000. I passed. Almost 26 cents a primer, not ready for those prices at that quantity anyway. Is this going to be the new normal?

11I think primers are like Santa Claus, knew they existed when I was younger but now believe they were just made up.

Re: Primers available?
21I wonder just how much product they had. By the time I posted and went back to look they’re gone.
Prices are high but what else would I do with the money, buy a fancier casket?
Working on another shelter for the new feral cats, maybe they’ll bury me in that.

25I almost pulled the trigger on 6 lbs of powder today at reasonable prices - $200 minimum order on the site though - flat $30 shipping.

Ultimately, I couldn’t do it, though I only have a quarter lb of 2400 & it was hard to find even before COVID. I keep scoring h110; but I need 2400 for my .45 colt hunting load. I find it to be a nice mid-range magnum powder, where h110 likes to run a full case at near max, with a heavy bullet for caliber. My Henry won’t cycle 300 gr. Bullets.
