Last few spells primers and 22lr were first to go and last to come back. I can’t help but wonder how many billions of 22lr are now stashed around the country. It seems most learned to stock up on them after previous droughts. This time it’ll be primers. So I see buying pressure on primers to remain strong for the foreseeable future. Especially true if everybody buys “twice what they think they’ll need”.
People just need to remember if they stock over 10k primers at home they will potentially have a big problem with insurance and liability.

10k wouldn’t even be a case of each type I use.
Some folks who play all the gun games get together and order 100K at a time
Standard case is 5K. I usually buy 2 to 5 cases a month depending on what I'm going through.What is a case of primers, 10K? I've only seen them for sale in 1K bricks. Where would a person by 10K primers in normal times?

Pretty much what I went though, though I did buy more online because at that time there wasn't a LGS that seriously carried reloading supplies. I still have a few 1 lbs. unopened.The last shortage, I would buy a pound of whatever pistol powder I could find at the local gun shows. Prices were higher than mail order at the time, but I could buy just a pound to try, and not have to pay hazmat. I tested a LOT of different powders (over 30 in 45acp alone) some I liked, some I didn’t (for various reasons) but now I have load data for a lot of different powders so I know what will work in a pinch. Once I figured out what I liked, I stocked up on those, and used up some of those I did not like. Luckily, I had the forethought to stock up before the 2020 political campaign started.
This information doesn’t really help right now, but keep it in mind when/if things start getting back to normal.
Patience and persistence. If you aren’t waiting when they open the doors, you won’t get to buy these.
