What shortage?

I am unlikely to run out of primers...ever.

Likewise, I'm not going to feel this at all. I learned way back. I wonder how new shooters will make out.

I'm down to 10k primers. I'm starting to get nervous.

Ppl over east are asking and getting $800/Aud for 1.5 Kg of Trail Boss.

I haven't seen trail boss on a shelf or online here since before the pandemic, same for just about all the Australian made rifle powders too. They started to creep back on the shelves a few months ago though. I landed x2 8lb containers of Varget at Cabela's on Black Friday. I saw 1lb containers online last summer, with limit x5. Funny though, powder on the shelf and online stores is pretty much at pre-pandemic prices. As others have said, primers are back but not keeping pace with inflation in the least. Haven't seen large rifle primers at all, but pistols and small rifles are aplenty now, prices notwithstanding.

Large Rifle and Large Rifle Magnum Primers are still elusive here in California, at least. Small rifle/pistol, large rifle/pistol, and SM/LG Magnum pistols seem to be everywhere. Some CCI Large Rifle popped up on MIDWAYUSA and were gone within a few minutes. I use mostly Remington Large Rifle and was down to about 1500 but I scored three boxes (1000 each), a gun store had a bunch on consignment paid $75.00 per 1000 which is cheap compared to the $140.00 they seem to be going for now. I'm good for now but always on the look-out.
