It's simply supply and demand. I took to task and bought continually for over 2 years. One never has enough in this climate of political ups and downs.
As soon as Widener's had Wolf Primers last week, I bought another 30,000. I didn't need them, but it's better to have too many than not at all.
Powder Valley was out of H4350, so I read about Accurate 4350 and found that as a suitable substitute, so I bought 4 8 lb. jugs. Powder Valley has enough Accurate, so I might buy more next month.
It's not hoarding, it's survival!
Anyone can do it, just spend the money!

The local Cabelas has had mostly empty shelves until recently. Now they have in stock most of the common variety.

I suspect there is no real shortage, just takes a little time to catch up to the re-supply after the latest round of panic buying.

wideners is selling 4895 from the Brits, and it shoots very well indeed.

Matt Antony " bought ANOTHER. 30,000 primers which he didn't need".
Now we know why supplies are short

Powder is flowing around here a little, primers are just trickling in.

Yep, and you can be part of capitalism and freedom also, buy whatever you want, there is no law against it! Today and yesterday, as you have witnessed, people are scared of what is to come, and buying for the future.
I applaud people who exercise their constitutional rights.

"Constitutional right" to hoard?? Say what? 30,000 primers will last me 30 years? How long will it last you.

[Mike_Mills]

Well, there is no law against it, so all other rights are reserved to the people and the states.

Calif-Steve, some people shoot more than you do. Some shoot a lot more. Others shoot way, way, way more. I hope that's okay.

Since when is buying a product for your own purpose, whether now or in the future, all of a sudden deemed to be hoarding? What country are you living in? This is the USA!
As we don't want the government in our bedrooms, we certainly don't want them or anyone else to dictate what we can buy and what we can't. And that Cali-Steve means you too!
When I order from Powder Valley or Widener's, there is no limit on the quantity you can buy, if you could buy their entire shipment, they would sell them to you, profit is not a dirty word.
Enough of this stupidity, I'm not hoarding, I just have more than the next guy and that's not a crime. If you want to buy some primers, contact Widener's, they will be glad to sell you some.
And yes, the constitution guarantee's our GOD given rights, and the second amendment means freedom to protect oneself, one’s family, and one’s property from the depredations of others. I take that statement that I can buy as many primers, buy as much powder, bullets, cases and firearms that I feel is neccessary to protect my family.
