I learned during the last shortage that supplies go poof when people panic. Primers are the most important single component to keep on hand. You can cast your own bullets, recycle your lead, recycle your cases and cut back on your powder charges but you can't light off a single round without a primer. It's no wonder they are in short supply. Primers take up much less space than loaded ammo to store and are less costly to aquire. If stored properly primers will last a lifetime. Hopefully you yungins will learn so that when this happens again, you won't be caught with your pants down.
