I prefer CCI primers but for the last 5 weeks or so I have been unable to find ANY. The only brand on the shelves is Federal. One LGS has Federal and the 4 other LGS have no primers at all.

There has been a lot of gun violence in the news recently, and I suspect people are buying inventory for their own personal use (stock piling)...in anticipation of some restrictive legislation that could be on the horrizon.

It is like 2008 again but not as bad... You can find any brand primer you like on the Internet, but you need to pay hazmat....
