Don't worry. When all of the new ammo hits the shelves, the newbies will give up reloading and sell their gear off for pennies on the dollar. The primers will flow like honey from a bee's butt.So, the update is "no progress" on the import front.
When are the ribbon cuttings for all those new primer factories? I'm down to a year and a half's supply.
Well, now, that's mighty nice of you to be so concerned but, I think I've got enough miles around the planet and enough time living in the swamps, planning for hurricanes, drought, fire, flood, sink-holes, and all of the times that come from being very rural to be able to plan fairly well. I made it this far.
From what I hear from Tom G. These are existing ammo manufacturing companies that don’t want to rely on vista for their primers. So they are making it inhouse and that should free up reloader primers for us.So, the update is "no progress" on the import front.

I’m at the age were I need to get into BP! I’m going to buy something BP! right nowMy black powder and percussion cap stash is looking better and better by the week………..
and as it takes sooooooo long to load and shoot it will probably last my life time………
EMF Company if I may give a plug. I’ve bought from them excellent serviceI’m at the age were I need to get into BP! I’m going to buy something BP! right now
Does he mean Freedom Munitions? Black Hills? Norma? Folks like that? Names, man, names. Without names and facts, it's just another internet or podcast rumor and we all know how reliable those are. Repeating the same rumor over and over doesn't make it less of a rumor.From what I hear from Tom G. These are existing ammo manufacturing companies that don’t want to rely on vista for their primers.

on a side note: This is probably the most civil primer discussion we had on THR… What’s going on??? zero name calling, zero I told you so…
I think we are running low on primers and everyone is at the last stage of death… ACCEPTANCE or is that the 12 step AA program
Tom G don’t really lie about stuff 8 weeks straight. He’s probably told not to disclose who’s the primer guys are. That how insiders work.Does he mean Freedom Munitions? Black Hills? Norma?

Hello, my name is Mark_Mark and I’m a Primer-holicThats the stages of coping with death. DABDA
We admitted we were powerless over primers—that our lives had become unmanageable
You know about flint lock? they require ZERO primersEMF Company if I may give a plug. I’ve bought from them excellent service
EMF if I may give a plug.I’m at the age were I need to get into BP! I’m going to buy something BP! right now
Yes. true enough but unfortunately they are limited to single shot pistols or long guns. I like my revolversYou know about flint lock? they require ZERO primers

Oh, okay, I see your point. I was wrong. Eight times makes it less of a rumor. Got it.Tom G don’t really lie about stuff 8 weeks straight.
ooooh man!!! I’m very close to getting a Les Baer, money wise… Please don’t temp me man! I shot one of the old timers Colt (something like that) BP and it was dead on accurate at 35 yards!EMF if I may give a plug.

you guys CRACK me up!Oh, okay, I see your point. I was wrong. Eight times makes it less of a rumor. Got it.
As a revolver enthusiast I can attest with few exceptions any of my cap and ball revolvers are just as accurate, in my hands at least, as any of my center or rim fire ones.(Once one attunes to the rather crude sights of a 19 century designed gun)ooooh man!!! I’m very close to getting a Les Baer, money wise… Please don’t temp me man! I shot one of the old timers Colt (something like that) BP and it was dead on accurate at 35 yards!
That would be Ammo Inc.BTW, I found a story re: breaking ground on a new factory in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, it’s just an ammo factory, not primers. And, the company is closing and existing plant in Arizona so it’s a net wash.
that’s 200 million in dollars, not count! they are probably at .10 a round of whatever…. so more like 2 billion in componentsThat would be Ammo Inc.
From the June 21, 2021 article containing the announcement -
“We’re 200 million in back orders right now in ammunition. We can’t make it fast enough,” said Tod Wagenhals, Executive Vice President of Ammo Inc."
200 million primers, brass and bullets just to catch up......
