Gloom dispair and excesive misery

[Freightman]

Got a call from Powder Valley, they ran out of SPP before they got my order filed if it weren't for bad luck I would have no luck at all. If you think the primers are plentiful look at the out of stock list and no back order on their site.

Yeah, the panic buyers and hoarders are still in the Market grabbing up the stock.

Not true. Supply and demand.

[Freightman]

I just told them to send me LPP instead they had them

Ballistic Products has a good selection of small pistol primers

Supply is the same or greater than ever and demand is up some is natural and some is panic and hoarding.

Even Higher Prices don't seem to dampen demand.

Oooops. My bad.

I would have just gotten small rifle primers. I have worked up pistol loads for all of my calibers with small rifle primers. Only issue I've had with ignition was from my tuned revolver, and she has only liked Federal since way back, lol.

the supply has been falling short of demand for quite a while now.
if it was hoarders the guy's making reloading equipment would have 'stopped the presses' by now. [I kill myself ]
I keep demanding my LGS gets more red/green-dot and they ain't supplying it.
I can't possibly hoard what I don't have.

See post #8 if he is not hoarding then he will share, right

My response has always been" a boy scout is always prepared". This and what my grand father told me " he who hesitates is lost". I have always tried to stay ahead of the panic buying by having a cushion of supplies without making it look like I was hoarding. Sometimes that is not easy convincing the " chief financial officer" that money spent on these items is a good idea.

I was thrilled first time this year I walked into 4 stores in a row they all had 22lr. The 2 that carried primers all had spp on the shelfs. I did end up cleaning out the spp at one of them though.

Since the mid 70's I generally keep a 5 year minimum supply of components on hands. I normally shoot about 20K a year not including shotgun.

During times of shortages I am bombarded with people wanting to "share" my supply at the price I paid for them. As to selling at cost not a snowballs chance in hell. I had to make significant sacrifices to be able to afford my supply and until I am unable to continue shooting none of it is for sale period. I will loan supplies with the understanding that within 6 months the borrower with replace the loaned items. I don't care if they pay half the price I paid or they have to pay 100 times what I paid but they will replace it within 6 months.

I guess because I am my own CFO, I have a smaller stock pile than some of you. I have to give myself permission to buy more and I know that I can get my approval when ever I need it. I never have had more than 3000 of any one type of primer and if I use them much I always have at least 1000 of those. I got caught short in the Clinton years and had to buy some small pistol primers from a friend. I only have a couple hundred of 209's and Magnum Large Rifle but I use only a couple dozen a year. I guess if primers are unavailable or cost $50 per thousand next year I will telling the hoarders they were smart.

Mostly I order for Powder Valley. Minimum orders for me due to hazmat are 20K of primers and or 32 pounds of powder. I did break my rule for SR4759. I wanted four 8 pounders but the best I could find was two 8 pounders at two different locations so I did order 16 pounds of SR4759 twice.

Oooops. My bad.

That's only 40K but it's a nice start.

[Budzilla 19]

I buy what I can when I can, but, when I was working a lot, boy, did I stock up! I'm not where you at ,M-Tecs, but close. Then, that dang fishing trip! *** boat! Hahaha! (I'm saving up to replace all lost items now). Be safe. Good shooting to all of you.
