i posted this in another thread, but thought id post it here to:
small rifle primers,youd best grab them whilst ya can. one of my best friends works for ATK industries in the managment section of one of there subsidaries. i personally spoke to a friend of his thats been with CCI for the last 17 years. she said that she went into shipping late this last week, and they had small rifle primers stacked floor to ceiling on palets, BUT the problem we run into is this. its only a SMALL PERCENTAGE of there normal production. they have stepped up there military contract manufacturing in primers, so they got a portion. then, they tok the large majority of what was left and put it towards loading ammunition ( she said the market will get flooded with CCI ammo comming in the next couple of weeks to 30 days). she said what was left has went to fill backorders. she also said that they are so backordered right now, unless your already on a backorder list with a retailer or wholeseller, you may not see ANY primers in the next 12 to 18 months....yes, you read that right , TWELVE TO EIGHTEEN MONTHS.
PERSONALLY, im pretty much set to ride out the storm. i saw it comming and piled up on reloading components.
point is, if you have the protunity to pick primers and powder up, youd better grab it. powders getting almost as hard to find. before you know it, we will be cutting the tops off of shotgun shells and working loads up with shotgun powder!
