Seems like the primer and component scare is overr. It is now where I'm seeing components on shelves, not a full complement, but adequate.

So I counted my Primers on hand LR=900. So I don't think I over reacted! How many do you have above your normal???

I'm still in need of LRM, down to last few hundred, am fine on rest. On powder, first choice is still not always available, you can usually find something that works though. I'm waiting for the powder I want to come in and I will get a few more lbs of 4895, 4831, 4350 and I want to try R22. I have plenty of bullets and cases.

I am hoping prices start reflecting a surplus. I have thought for a long time once this scare is over component sales will go down to almost nothing. I think the avrage person has enough stuff to last a couple of years. I hope the manufacturers can stay afloat until surpluses run out.

I have 400 large rifle primers, 1200 small rifle,and about 2000 large pistol. about 13 pounds of powder and enough bullets to last about 6 months to a year.

I need to get out and shoot more.

I counted primer's last night and I think the number I got was 12,000. Mine are old however, I haven't bought a primer in years. Found some powder on the shelves last couple of weeks, 8# H414 and 5# RL19. Traded 1000 LR primers for LRM primers for the H414. Found a place where there is usually primers avaliable about 60mi from here. Wouldn't you know he's out now! Need more mag primer's.

I sort of like to use fresh primers, so I don't keep many on hand all the time.
