According to them we are 2 years behind in Nato ammo stocks.
So the powder and primers are going into nato ammo for the big manufacturers. Leaving only a few small independants to produce ammo we want.
I don't see this going away any time soon.
I truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!

I wonder how much NATO ammo Biden&Co. just gave away.
Since Biden and cronies are in good standing with the Chinese - can we start getting primers and ammo from them???

Have you guys not banned the importation anything firearm related from China? We get the ammo and firearms but I don't recall ever seeing Chinese made primers.

Primers are starting to show up at retail outfits. I have seen Remington, CCI and Winchester recently. Prices are from .05 to .07 each.

Clinton banned Chicom firearms importation, but I don't know about ammunition or components.

just went through the out of stock primers on powder valley
seems the new normal is going to be $60-$95/1000
This isn't the longest drought in my lifetime, (well it would be if I were 100 years old). During WW2 the civilian market went without any ammo, primers or components for FOUR YEARS. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. This was why Fred Huntigton started swging bullets from .22 rimfire cases. (They were still copper then, not brass.)

my father was lucky buddy worked at savage (utica ny) in the shoot gallery testing loads
during ww2 brought home ammo every week
I really find it hard to believe that the new gun owners have jumped right in to reloading and caused the shortages. I chalk it up to the political climate and material and labor disruptions caused by Covid. Also, the increased demand for loaded ammunition from shooters old and new have caused the components to go to the commercial ammo companies rather than us reloaders. Yes, the new normal for primers will be $60-100/1000 when they are finally available.
I agree with you, up to a point. I find it hard to believe that the NEW gun owners are the cause of the ammo shortage. YES, the new owners probably DID buy a box or two of ammo when they bought the gun, and they may have visited a shooting range and burned up some of that ammo, but it's a safe bet that MOST of them simply lost interest after that and have not bought another box of ammo since.
It does not surprise me given that 50 round boxes of 9mm were selling for 80 to 120$ at the time.

Yep. But 9mm is now down to about $35/box. Those new gun buyers will get 3 or 4 boxes and think they are well prepared and stop buying. Prices will continue to fall as demand drops and supply increases.
And once the shelves are flush with ammunition, we will see primers coming back on stream. Companies will keep producing as quickly as possible until things return to normal.
One other thing I have been pondering. I suspect QC is taking a back seat to production, and that will continue for the near future. I plan on buying primers to restore my inventory but will wait about 6-12 months after there are plenty of primers on the shelf and plants are not pushing out anything that will sell.
