Last trip to my local Cabela's had no handgun ammo and maybe 6 rifle cartridges represented. Much as I might like to have a .50BMG rifle I don't so practically doesn't count.Im starting to Wonder if the shortage now is political and not economical? what are we going into the third year now? Im starting too see plenty of ammo on the shelves and online so there shouldn’t be an excuse that the primers and powders are going to commercial first then retail.
Actually I can find powder. But man primers seem to be more rare than Gold
I have a label maker.... every powder get a purchased and opened date. Every box of primers get a date. decoding lot numbers it too much of a pain and I want to use my oldest stuff first!I started in 1976. But I didn't start to accumulate - not stockpile - primers, powder, bullets, until after 1999. Initially, I dated and priced the products I bought, which probably traced to my Pharmacy background. Eventually, I just dated the new and tossed the old because I never saw the utility. Now I don't even date the new.
If it was mis-marked thats on them. Even if you had said something they should have honored the price then fixed it going forward.When I was young and ignorant and first started loading in the early 80’s, the first time I bought primers at Scheels in Minot the bricks were marked at $1.79 so I bought five bricks not knowing any better. It was only later I found out that’s what the packs of 100 were supposed to cost, but one of the young girls who worked there had inadvertently marked them wrong. I thought about coming clean but didn’t want anyone to get fired for it and I spent a lot of money in that store over the years so figured it was a bonus for being a good customer.
minimum 5,000......Small rifle primers in large lots for $100 a brick
