this primer situation getting out of hand

[Gun Surfer]

Widener's has a reasonable selection of Wolf primers in stock for about $29.50per brick before shipping. I have used Wolf Large Pistol and Small Rifle Mag (.223) with good results. For me the Wolf Large Pistol was a little hotter than US primers, but the loads were very accurate, enjoyed using them and would buy more if needed.

At the Tanner Gun Show in Denver this weekend, saw lots more primers for sale showing increases in supply, running about $36 to $40 per brick. I'd say that $50 per 1000 is way too high, other choices should be available now, especially if you can buy in some level of bulk. At the Tanner Show ammo was priced way high from most vendors, even allowing for shipping. Best thing we can do is wait it out until supply & inverntories stack up, as will happen because the manufacturers, especially the Russians, are really cranking it out now. If you check the internet for ammo, some sellers are starting to drop prices noticeably, prob because stocks are backing up and sales may be slowing. Component prices should follow and drop as supplies catch up to demand.

BTW, yes, buying Russian stuff could be seen as helping them, and Russia under Putin's new styled KGB system is definitely an enemy of the west, nowdoubt about that... However, comparing our society with theirs, and at the relative prices we can get their stuff at, I'd say they are still giving us the rope to hang THEM with, the Russian Bear greatly supporting marksmanship and gun ownership in America.

Could the large supply of items for sale at old prices be in an industrialized area with very high unemployment? Am not familiar with Ohio.
