Just try to buy primers for pistols ANYWHERE, they are unobtanium, have been out of stock for over 6 months.

That is too bad. During one of the previous shortages I had to redo some of my favorite recipes to use primers that were easier to get, some of them actually worked better than the original recipe's.

I guess at times when it has been hard to find toilet paper and paper towels this should not be too surprising. I stocked up on my favorite powders along with primers during times when they were easy to get. I get multiple uses out of brass and also scavenge it from the range if someone has not been picking up after themselves. Where did you hear that you will not be able to buy primers online next year?

One of my friends is really into large caliber air rifles that you charge with a scuba tank. He came over after he got a new 220 grain 44 caliber pellet mold so I could help him get going with it. The mold makes six hollow point 45 caliber projectiles at a time. Our first batch looked perfect.

He asked me for a chunk of wood. I gave him a piece of scrap 2x6... I thought he was going to take it outside and set it up next to a tree. Instead he threw it on the floor and shot it with his air rifle. The 2x6 split in two and chunks of the “pellet” went binging off the concrete floor and through my ceiling. It was insane and he got a piece of my mind. Those projectiles are heavier and leave the barrel of his air rifle with more velocity and foot pounds than a typical .45 acp hand gun.

I just checked Midway USA... my favorite pistol powder, Hodgdon Titegroup is curraintly available in my preferred 8 pound container size for $152.99 but it says they have only 2 left. It is a very versatile powder, you ought to consider buying one of the remaining kegs if you like to reload pistol cartridges. The brass doesn't seem a lot more expensive than what I am used to paying. But you are right the primers are sold out which does not really surprise me. I sure cannot find out anything about online primer sales being banned in 2021. Do you have a link?

Biden has it right in his campaign website, under ‘Gun Safety’ provisions... Www.joesbiden.com, gun safety

Online guns, parts and AMMUNITION sales will be banned.

Along with overseaseas shipments of guns and ammunition...goodbye Wolf, and all the Russian and European bulk sellers of ammo.

Guees who the AG was from Calif that pushed through microstamping there, yeah, her.

Cali already has online ammo sales banned, and high cap mags and a mandatory Ammunition License and Registration law, coming soon to a state near you.

Nothing in the 2nd amendment about ammo restrictions, not a word.

Theres 1000 ways they can raise the prices on everything gun related, taxes, restrictions, you name it.

I’m good for at least 8 years, lol, i stocked up, but i still keep shopping.
