I am guessing this problem exists in all the US states, however what I find strange is there is no shortage in Canada, or Europe only problem is you need an import lic or something to order them. I suspect this is a manufactured shortage due to the election, any thoughts? I am just about to the point I may have to reload primers, would have to use the old fulminate recipe, I actually did that a number of years back, successfully, however, 10-20 is one thing but a few thousand would be a real drag.....
