Shortages rumours.

[Oldbloke]

Is it possibly true that more primer and powder shortages are coming?


Prices are still high for primers in OZ. But very slooowwly going down.

Primers seem to be down in price and available most places.

In today's world of instability, anything is possible.

Therefore, it is best to plan ahead as best as you can but it the end one must learn to roll with the punches of life. As the old saying goes, nothing is guaranteed except death and taxes.

Good excuse to jack up the prices and screw your so called friends.

 

[Kracken McGraw]

Looks like current reality is there is plenty in stock and 80% of us are setting on old stock and not buying.

Still no CCI 200 here.In south Texas

Easiest way to create a shortage, is to start talking about one.

Based on recent sales online, there is either a reasonable supply and old orders being filled at warehouses, or a cash flow problem with multiple large vendors. It’s also the end of the year and inventory is taxable.

I read the thread title and shook my head. Dellet you only need the first sentence.

Look for panic buying when Newsom is running for President and the Media says he’s going to win. If the internet excels at anything it’s spreading paranoia!

 

[RabbitSlayer]

Probably be fine till next election. Primer prices have crashed. Buy it cheap and stack it deep!

223 lapua brass is back, and that is a good sign. Only been gone for 5 years, yesh.

A lot of the big stores will let you order and ship to the closest store with no shipping charge. (Cabelas, Bass Pro ect.)

Understood, and agree for small orders. But on a case order (5,000 primers), a $25 hazmat adds half-a-penny to each primer, so 6.5¢ per is still a deal by today’s standards.

Thx for replies. Sounds like what I heard is BS.
After 15 being murdered over here yesterday I might not need any components now! Already talk of tightening of firearm numbers and laws.

Perhaps your country should start reconsidering it’s immigration policies as a better solution.
Edited to add that long time Friends live in Sydney, and there are now places they used to frequent, while raising their Children, that they dare not go near even in daylight today.

^^^^ You say that like we in the USA aren't in the exact same boat? If the election hadn't gone the way it did, we would still have 12 to 20 million unveted potential disasters here and more on the way. We MAY be close to 3 million sent back, 2 million voluntary, and almost 1/2 million gone or in the process. How many of those will act out before they are gone?

So you say !!

You would think primers shud be easier to get now, think it was 4 plants being built since 2022, 2 are up and running for sure, think it's 1 next yr and 1 more in 2027, I think was the schedule.
