Just got back from a tour of the local gun shops.
I was surprised that primers of all kinds are in good supply everywhere I went.
Seems that the consensus is they should sell for $38.00 per thousand. Except for specialty primers, that was the price in every store I visited.
Powder is still not available. I saw about 20 pounds of various rifle powders ( total ) in 6 different stores. ZERO pistol or shotgun powder.
I did see some .410 shotgun shells for $13.95. That is about half price in this market and they were Winchesters.
Fortunately I don't own a .410 so I was not tempted.
It goes without saying, the only rim fire ammo was 17 HMR.
I am confident however than Gander will have .22LR Tuesday morning. ( They have every Tuesday for the past 5 or 6 weeks.)
