I don't know about you but I am a shooter and reloader. I shoot weekly to the tune of 100-200 rounds of pistol during the winter rifle in the warm weather. All of what I reload. I carry factory ammo of which I have plenty, but not range ammo. I load for .38/357, .45 acp, .44 Special/Magnum, 5.56 and .308. Generally what I have done over the years is load over the winter, 1K so for each caliber so I can shoot at my leisure. I have some stores in loaded and components but not 1000 of each anymore. I have powder, brass and bullets, but like everyone else no friggin primers. It is very frustrating, I survived and learned my lesson during the last primer shortage but this feels different. I can accept the excuse of new shooters and gun buyers, that is fine. But when I go the range which is also a LGS, they do not even have ammo for the guns they are selling. What happens is I walk out with a box of .22lr just to replace what I have shot because you can only buy 2. Not a conspiracy theorist but this is just stupid. Is this the end of the sport, are $2 a round prices the new norm or what?
