I did exactly that in june... It is a game of lots of hunting on line to find what you need, so you better know what you want and look often... and be ready to pounce when you find it.

Good luck!

I don't disagree but that won't help with the primer shortage... supply chains worldwide are disrupted so components are slowing production...

Ok, so we need more component manufacturers too.

A valid argument, but don’t forget to take into account the amount of time it will take to stand up an entirely new manufacturing plant.....even a relatively small one. And if it’s not well funded right up front, then construction will depend on the owners’/investors’ cash flow situation.

I wish the primer manufacturers would build capacity, but until we can show them pure, sustained demand, not politically motivated demand- that's unlikely.

The supply chain issues are impeding primer production now... the articles I read a month or so ago suggest that the primer folks have capacity to produce more but not the materials. Some chemical or compound sourced from Italy and other materials from heavily covid impacted areas.

Weather the storm as best you can now and when things come back, position yourself and family to comfortably weather the next couple storms.
