IMHO...
Prior to now, Sandy Hook was the biggest panic buy driver that I've experienced. But I paid less than $16.00/K for primers after that.
This is certainly bigger, and it's going to last longer, but $100/K will not be the new price for primers.
My prediction is $40/K 18-24 months from now.
-Or-... most of us will be dead from massive civil war, or WWIII. Flip a coin.

This is the 4th primer shortage in my lifetime. The first was when Clinton got elected the first time and I was almost caught with my pants down. By the time primers came back I was down to around 2K.
After that I stocked up and have been stocked on all components ever since. It was obvious to me it was going to happen again.

Same here, Idiidn't get caught short handed thru any of the primer panics because my motto was always be prepared for the worst.
Well if I really had any idea of what I was talking about, I'd be a millionaire. :lol:
I shoulda sold a few boxes at the peak, but with all the old sites I used to know being taken down, I didn't have anywhere to advertise them.
Even now, I could get $60 profit per box, make a couple hundred bucks but it doesn't really seem worth it.
Glad to see AZ shooting is back though!

Why is it that I can get bullets, brass, & powder, but not primers?
I stocked up on ammo after Obummer's first crisis shortage, but never thought to load up on primers. Then when Trump came into office, it kind of left my mind that there might be a problem in the future.

I ordered this stuff called prime all that lets you reload your spent primers, took a month for shipping, but I've tried it out and it works great.

A couple of weeks ago, on the Smith and Wesson forum, there was a postings that primers were finally showing up in stores at regular retail. I believe in the Midwest.
I had a friend selling small pistol primers for $135.00 a 1000. I told him he was crazy. He sold 5,000 already.
