Components
Quote from coyote3 on July 7, 2023, 7:45 pmDid I miss something when it comes to acquiring the necessary components to reload a metallic cartridge?
Why is it that primers are in such short supply as to be considered non existent.
I have everything I need to reload from case to powder to bullet but without a primer, none of it is worth the space of storing it. Sounds like a conspiracy to me on the part of the ammo manufacturers. I remember a similar situation back in the late 90s early 00s where powder and primers were scarce to non existent. Part of that was government related and was DHS buying up dang near every round made.
Any help in understanding what is going on would be appreciated. Thanks

Quote from Xiphos on July 7, 2023, 9:36 pmi believe that in part you may be correct, but the major issue is the war in Ukraine.
We are in a mad rush to sell whatever can be put onto a boat in order to oust Putin. This includes small arms ammunition.
Do you remember when the Democrats were the anti-war Party?

Large Pistol and Large Rifle primers seem to be unicorns though.
