Ammo Shortage ? Primers ? See Video's

[painter777]

Please NO Politics

After seeing multiple GB auctions with 2 bricks of WRA small rifle primers selling for over $525+ not counting Shipping/Hazmat fees I started looking over Youtube videos to see what people were saying, when I ran across this:

A Message From Federal, CCI, Speer And Remington President Jason Vanderbrink On Ammo Demand

I Just watched this video from Dec 2020. Best to use CC= Closed caption so you catch it all.
In part it says:

"There are 7 Million New shooters since March (2020) times 2 boxes of ammunition which is a conservative estimate is 700 Million new rounds of Ammunition our 3 factories have to help produce that is impossible to do in 9 months......."

He goes on about having to train many new hires, getting raw materials in and dealing with the Covid situation.



Below Newer Updated video from Jan 21-2021 with 'Some' explanation of why reloading components aren't available because they are being used for current production. So this is why there are no 'Extras to sell'

JMO, But if some of those primers became available to the reloading market they might alleviate some of the pressure on the ammo market. Surely some are trying to buy complete ammo because they can't get ahold of the re-load components they need.

Anyone recall Reports of Price Gouging $ Fines/Arrests during the toilet paper shortage ?
How and Who do we reach out to about Ammo Price Gouging ?
A Walmart employee we know told us they had a few pallets of Ammo in back but weren't allowed to stock the shelves, said Corporate Orders ?
