I also believe that $50.00 will be the new normal when stores are fully re-stocked.

Considering the inflation our current administration is inflicting on us we will be lucky if they are that cheap.

I’m not worried
Heard from a source who doesn’t want to be indentifed that there are 3 new primer plants being built!
So it’s 6 new plants now?
Because it's less labor and shipping for them . Folks that know how to prepare do it in bulk , why bother with the cry babies that call the prepared folks "hoarders" because they were too cheap or ignorant to think forward ?Unfortunately some of our fellow reloaders/hoarders are contributing to this madness. Along with these hoarders some of the LGS are also feeding into the madness. For example one supplier will only sell powder by the case now. Why not allow people to buy one, two, or four, or whatever they need?
A case of 8lb jugs is waaaaay out of my price range even before stupid happened.Because it's less labor and shipping for them .

8 pound jugs are two per case . I know all about working with a budget . The point of my post was... it gets pretty old old seeing the unpreparedA case of 8lb jugs is waaaaay out of my price range even before stupid happened.
So about $55 / Thousand which all things considered isn't bad. Not quite the $20 ~ $30 / Thousand we were used to but not bad and available. Considering some of the prices I have seen.The local academy had some LPM sitting on the shelf and I walked past. I have nothing that uses those and about 500 LPP still at home. They were only 5.50 a sleeve but with only 45 that uses them I passed. If I was really hurting I may have grabbed them for cast in 308 due to the uber low loads....
I was thinking more 6 8lb jugs from powder valley. My dad had the bug real bad....8 pound jugs are two per case . I know all about working with a budget . The point of my post was... it gets pretty old old seeing the unprepared

$75???? what a rip offI bought 1k small rifle primers at Cabelas for $75 this week, first time I've seen primers there since last July.
$75???? what a rip off
All of this got me to thinking. Primers I have, the problem with selling primers is the shipping. However, shipping primed brass is not a problem with Fed-Ex or UPS. I have a local large Fed-Ex facility right down the road. I also am pretty sure I have some 9mm brass somewhere around here. I haven't owned a 9mm since the early 90s when wife and I had a gun shop. I could look for that 9mm brass and prime it and sell it as primed, new, 9mm brass. I can get rid of the brass and about 1,000 primers all at the same time. Pretty sure it was Starline new brass. Thinking sending primed new brass is legit via Fed-Ex. Hell I no longer even own 9mm loading dies.Before this all started I had just bought a low buck 9MM to take advantage of cheap steel cased ammo. Couldn't reload for that cheap. Never did get to buy one case of ammo before pricing went nuts.
Now I just bought a recurve bow to get through these rough times. So now that I have this bow I GUARANTEE the ammo shortage will end very soon.

Why keep beating the drum on other peoples choices. This always takes threads in a bad direction. Drink a cup of warm coffee and be happy.People who buy 100k primers or 100 lbs of pistol powder and shoot maybe 200 rounds a year are hoarders or, even worse, scalpers.
to each his own - or is it - to each it’s ownMost shops around here are $100 +. I've seen SPP sell at an auction for $335/1k. $75 sucks but I can still load cheaper than buying ammo even before everything went crazy.
