I get the feeling, but are you saying that everyone on Accurate Shooter should ask you for primers when they need them? If I compete and go through 1000 a month, are you going to send me 1000 a month?Why would you do that? Are you a top 10 competitive shooter in any discipline that does not have a sponsor? Or maybe you drew a once in a life time Desert Sheep tag and need those primers for your own pet load. You do not owe me or anybody else an explanation for what you do, but hell if you need some not want some I will spot you some. The more the collective " We " pay the inflated prices the longer they will stay high , simple math. Go fishing, shoot your bow, get a BB gun, stop giving blood to the blood suckers.
I also wonder what % of the total demand for primers is from everyone on Accurate Shooter? My understanding is total US production of centerfire ammo is around 4-5 billion per year in 'normal' times. Even if every member of Accurate Shooter [around 50,000 members] bought 10,000 primers per year, it would only be ~ 10% of the primers used in ammo production in the United States. Realistically, the average demand for all of us is probably less - maybe 2,000 - 3,000 primers per year => 2% - 3% of the total demand.
