Australia and Canada

Post by Bigfoot »

When doing my online searches, I see that stores in Australia and Canada always seem to have primers available all the time.

Why not US?

This happened during the .22 ammo shortage as well. I have a friend who summers up in Canada, and when we were waiting outside gun shops just hoping some would arrive that day, he could walk into any gun store in Canada and buy all he wanted. He used to buy cases and cases and bring them back across the border to sell at the gun show.

Yeah, I do powder and primer searches quite a bit...as I'm sure others do. Those sites always pop up and have in stock.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

It does when you realize there is a full on conspiracy to deprive Americans of ammo and components while they figure out a way to completely disarm us.

Sometimes it is just a simple as that. I also suspect of the lesser number of shooters do not stack deep and high . Round here well... ya know.

Their governments have already confiscated most of the firearms. There just aren't that many shooters/reloaders in those places.

They are not panic buying in those countries and the growth of people who are buying up reloading supplies has not quadrupled in those countries either.
