.......Doesn't anyone remember 16 months ago when bricks of primers had come down to $26........
I actually remember paying $24/k for CCI SPP about that time.
Saw them, thought about it.
Waited.
Went back and looked again, thought about it.
Waited some more.
After about three times, something told me "BUY THOSE PRIMERS, NOW!"
I did.
The next day they were all gone.
Toward the end of the last drought, I bought S&B primers for $22/k. That's not that long ago.
I remember being pretty ticked off when primers went from $10/k to $12/k, which was a LARGE increase.
I know this doesn't help find large rifle primers, but I believe
@Ian 's point to be correct. The only problem I see is that a lot of political angst seems to be prolonging the start of the end of THIS drought. I'm hoping things break loose soon.
EDIT:
I wonder how much many of us will extend the shortage as we start to stock up again after the original shortage starts to ease up. I still hope to make a show and sell some stuff while prices are up. I will doubtless invest some of what I liquidate in more primers.
