It all will come back. People that buy at $100 are helping us all, more mfg will add more lines then over supply and life will be good for the rest of us!
Ok, lets do the math. Primers used to be $35 a 1000. That is 3.5 cents
Ok, 3 times that, lets round it off, call it 10 cents at $100.
Bullets? 35 to 50 CENTS.
Powder: Have not done this in a while, call it 20 cents a case? (243 will be more like 15 and 338 more like 30 but 20 is about 50 gr fill.
So, primers still do not really increase your reloading costs do they?
Now I went through the last shortage (more shortage, managed primers here and there as well as scrounged powder).
When they come back, estimate your use, then keep 3 years supply on hand.
Yes I hate it, I never bought powder in 8 lb jugs (5 lb for Aliant). But now, that is about the only way I buy it (yes I buy 1 lb when they were on sale, but I bought as many as needed to fill the 8 lb back up (or as many as they had short of that)
Same with bullets, I buy in lots of 500 (and the last order was 1000).
