I'm not quite desperate enough to try reloading my own primer caps, but it's theoretically possible. I see them starting to come available, but at four to ten times a reasonable price. Not that desperate.

Nope - seems to be even worse than 2020. I’ve been totally skunked this year. Seems like all the available stock is going into overpriced ammo.

As of right now, Midway has some large rifle and mag. pistol, albeit at elevated prices.

Already gone … “temporarily unavailable.”

Gone in 60 seconds!

I thought I got lucky this week when I found Cheddite shotshell primers in stock on a Dog Training products website. Couldn't get them into the cart though, so I called and they lady said they were sold out after all. I asked if she knew when they might have more in stock and she told me that all the primer factory employees had decided to stay on unemployment because they can just make more money off the government than if they work.
I'm sure that's it.

I received a notice some large rifle primers were in at a vendor. Looked and it was $259 for a 1000. I passed. Almost 26 cents a primer, not ready for those prices at that quantity anyway. Is this going to be the new normal?

I think primers are like Santa Claus, knew they existed when I was younger but now believe they were just made up.

Does this mean my wife will buy me primers this Xmas just to keep up the ruse for the kids?

Sounds like the perfect woman!

As of 10:52AM EST Midway has CCI Large Pistol primers available. $77. per 1000

Today I scored 1000 CCI #11 percussion caps from Natchez for 76 bucks plus hazmat plus shipping... Still, I'm excited to shoot some black powder again! Now if I just could find some black powder...

Just found CCI #41 small rifle primers (labelled for 5.56 ammo) at Midway; $90 / 1k box + shipping/handling/hazmat, limit 1 box per order.

That’s still too rich for
My blood. I was paying $44/1000 a year ago when I could find them. Can’t find them locally now. I’ll wait until they are around $50 and available. I’ve slowed my rate of fire to get me through 3-4 years …

Midway has at the moment CCI #34 and #300 available.

Looks as if the moment has passed.

I wonder just how much product they had. By the time I posted and went back to look they’re gone.

Prices are high but what else would I do with the money, buy a fancier casket?

Working on another shelter for the new feral cats, maybe they’ll bury me in that.

Not primers exactly, but Midway has at the moment, Factory Overrun Lake City Pull Down Brass 7.62x51mm NATO Primed Box of 500 (Bulk Packaged)

Hear, hear! Damned self-fulfilling propheciers.

I almost pulled the trigger on 6 lbs of powder today at reasonable prices - $200 minimum order on the site though - flat $30 shipping.

Ultimately, I couldn’t do it, though I only have a quarter lb of 2400 & it was hard to find even before COVID. I keep scoring h110; but I need 2400 for my .45 colt hunting load. I find it to be a nice mid-range magnum powder, where h110 likes to run a full case at near max, with a heavy bullet for caliber. My Henry won’t cycle 300 gr. Bullets.
