I’d buy them at $50, if you think you will need them in the next year. Depending on 11/2 this could get a lot worse.

I saw 2 sleeves of CCI 400s at the gun show a few weeks back. I grimaced at the 50$ price tag but they still went home with me. Even at that price it bolstered up the reserved just a tad bit more.

Buy them even though it's a horrible price. Things won't be better 6 months from now just due to production, much less the results of the election.
It's better to have them even at that price, then not be able to shoot. |

I seriously regret trying to get into reloading right now. I'm starting to feel the same way. I started in the last component drought. Its not really that bad and its a teaching lesson. In how to be resourceful, in how to value components regardless of the cost or availability. How to find and use alternate components. 9 months ago reloaders were getting poo-pood on because factory ammo was so cheap. Well yeah... and so was all the reloading stuff. Its a little frustrating at times if you need something but it makes you appreciate the good times and hopefully teaches one to stack back necessary items for times like this. |

Some of us put it off mid winter, because salad days. Then they made up the 'rona. Then all hell broke loose. Then I put it off more, because of the inflated prices. It will be a good while before I run out of loaded ammo or components, but damn. I just hope this ends sooner than later and all the neckbeards have to live with their 21 cent primers. Have fun reloading 9mm for 47cpr when we can buy factory for 18cpr again. Bastards. I don't mind guys with the wallet who bought cases, even ones who stocked shelves, but there's a special place in hell for the real neckbeards. OTOH, I'm laughing my ass off figuring these idiots buying them at those prices from the neckbeards. |

I have a customer here who owns a sporting goods store and what he told me is, he's spoken with all the big manufacturers and DESPITE the election, we should not expect the supply chains to go back to normal. Ever.
That the supply of primers may get marginally better but not much. We may be seeing the new normal through 2021. That's what I was told. I hope it's just a gloomy outlook. I was lucky to find 2 boxes of Winchester SRP online a couple weeks ago. Could've gotten 5,000 last week but didn't have the cash to spare before they sold out. And got even luckier when an RSO from my local range offered to sell me a box of CCI 400 for $40. |

But GTFO $200. They don't realize how much they're inflating prices and screwing themselves later. |

The deals are out there...
They’re just harder to find and get sold way faster. |

Knew a father and son that would do pin shoots at a local indoor range me and my brother would attend on Tuesday nights. Combined they shot about 60k rounds of pistol ammo a year between practice and comps in there race guns. I have on hand about 50k primers of SPP, SRP and couple thou CCI 350's for the 458 Socom. But I'm a low volume shooter and will last my lifetime  I seen it coming last Jan/Feb and placed a decent order from Bruno's in AZ |
