This is mostly for y'all reloaders - Federal, CCI, Speer, and Remington primers won't be sold until the company satisfies their factory ammo demand. Not good news, but it is what it is. I suspect it's the same with the rest of the industry.

Jason Vanderbrink, President of Federal, CCI, Speer and Remington Addresses Your Questions About Ammo Availability - The Truth About Guns

I watched that YouTube yesterday, got the same from it, they are using all the primers they can make to load their own ammunition, so it’s going to a very long time before we see primers back in stock like it was last year.

If politicians really cared about their constituents it would seem this is a great time and place to secure US manufacturing jobs.

We're being "priced" right out of the 2nd Ammendment; right before our eyes we're seeing it.
No need to ban or confiscate guns

Exaclty. They've learned not to do an outright ban.

 

[NCwarrior]

Maybe if we pledge 100 days of no ammo buying things will turn around...

 

[shoeshooter]

Makes sense. Why sell a primer for 2 cents when you can turn it into a 50 cent cartridge. I don't smell any nefarious conspiracy here. You don't make multi million dollar investments to meet what is likely a short term surge in demand. This will sort itself out a year or so.

We're doing it to ourselves, the government isn't. They aren't panic buying, causing shortages and making prices higher.

No, they aren't panic buying, but their rhetoric causes the panic buying in the first place

Perfect way to do away with guns;
Just have the gov keep renewing "indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity" contracts every few years, and voila; perpetual ammo shortage. And you're paying for it. Couple that with a few "commerce" EO's banning importation of anything gun related or ammo, and in just a few short years only the gov will be pulling triggers.

Not a "like," but I agree. See this also:

A member here predicted the future.

I cannot remember who posted it, may have been more than one post even. But someone a while back, when DHS first started buying up ammo made a statement. The initial purchases seemed reasonable actually, they amounted to just enough ammo for training purposes, with future long term orders. But...

I recall a DHS government contract for 1.6 billion rounds of small arms and sniper ammo during the Obama era ammo shortage.

Probably just a coincidence, right? 🤔

Vanderbrink: The Realities of Ammunition Production, Capacity and Supply Chain During Record Demand - The Truth About Guns

The previous three years in the ammunition market was over-capacitized. We had more capacity in the market than we had buyers for. So prior to that, we had invested tens of millions of dollars in the last ten years in capacity expansion and efficiencies. So when we got the slump over the last...
