    ^^^ This is what stuffs it! Not to point the finger totally at you bud. But…If this ^^^ stopped until supply resumes (there not 1950s cars, primers are still a modern production). They wouldn’t be $400-500-600 (who knows now) a brick when they hit the shelves next year. Retailer will be making over $300 profit each brick.

    Again I’m ok for primers. I just feel for the guys who are not. And perhaps walk away from the hobby. It’s pretty rough at there man.

    Ha ha funny guy, good luck with asking people to walk away from hunting just so you can buy cheap primers in 3 years time.

    I want to put food on the table for my family and I won't let an extra $10 for primers stop me however you are welcome to do whatever floats your boat.

    I mean this all in the nicest possible way so please don't take offence and please feel free to give up hunting for 3 years if you want to as its your choice however I will continue and I will enjoy ever minute of it.
    When hunting think safety first

    I don’t cheat , I use a bow and a muzzle loader for hunting. Way more fun. It’s so easy with a scope ya just give the meat away.

    And don’t take offence to this, but that’s just the same attitude as the gun ban - helping screw over the rest of the enthusiasts again in the country again.

    It doesn’t effect me so I don’t care.
