will there really be any large rifle and small pistol primers on shelves or at online stores like grafs or midway as i see midway has a no backorder policy and grafs dont update there inventory site as i check every day for large rifle primers as i have reloaded for 30 years and did not stock up but  why cant we really buy primers???? I am about to sell all my reloading equipment and just about to just buy ammo as for 2 months i have been looking not 1 primer unless i buy from the rich folks who bought them all up and now want $100 + FOR 1000 primers.Why is loaded ammo on these sites such as midway,grafs,natchez,cavelas and such just about non existint even for off the wall calibers???Really is strange.

Damn, $100? Things arn't that bad around here yet. We can still get a brick of primers at walmart for a decent price.

sure wish i lived there as 2000 primers would last me about 3 years worth of shooting,cant find none here it sure is sad as i cant afford the gunbroker price of $100 plus for 1000 primers

There are millions of primers being made.  The thing is, p[eople are buying them in vast quantities - 5,000 to 10,000 at a time, instead of the 1,000 at a time they normally do.  This demand has depleted the stock everywhere.  Backorderrs are also vast, consuming all new deliveries before they hit the shelves.

primers and powder not to mention brass and projectiles too, and dies as well, anything for reloading is going for a high price. I had made the mistake of getting SP magnums and I put them up for trade FTF and no one at all has contacted me. although I did find someone with 500 LR today  but that was about it.
