Geez--not much left for western after that. I use lots of ramshot, BH209 and accurate--hope nothing changes in formulations. Wonder when someone will start making primers again??

I'm sure everyone who makes primers is cranking them out. I'm just guessing that most of the production is going to military/ govt contracts. I got an email yesterday that I could get guaranteed delivery of 9mm 115 FMJ by Feb. 2021, and it was still $40 a box! I could have bought some at the gun show for that Saturday. Glad to be in a position that I don't need anything.

40 bucks for a box of 50 9mm? Wooow

I don't know about you, but in all the years I've been shooting I've never seen a shortage in primers in general--and certainly not one in which all primers were unavailable like now!
