Not comletely. Primers are still spotty but they are showing up on the shelves now so that's good news. Some places are reporting better than others and prices are still high in places. Not there yet but it should be around the corner.

I've seen more primers here in N. Central Texas lately, the last time I looked they were still running around $50/thousand. Except for that one place in Garland that I had the misfortune to stop at last week. They had an excellent selection of CCI primers, and you could buy all you wanted, for only (are you sitting down?) a paltry $110/thousand. One Hundred and Ten! In US dollars! I almost fell over. I don't really see much reason to stop there anymore.

I paid $45 at a gunshop in town that prices are a little high. I go there because they have the best supply in town and there are darn few places that have reloading supplies, especially primers. It doesn't pay to spend $20 in gas to save 10 and the only reason I paid for those was in case things start getting worse again. I could go to a gun show but they charge like $12 to get in a 3 to park and then they may run out before you get there are some are limiting you to one box. Either way I feel like I'm gett screwed.
