I was just down in Logan, UT yesterday and became aware of another issue. The supply of primers is severely backlogged. The sporting goods shop put in an order last month for small pistol primers. The factory says they may be able to fill it by February or March of next year. Following up on that news, I went to my local sporting goods store in Pocatello. Sure enough, there were no small pistol primers available for sale. I grabbed some more small rifle primers and large pistol primers...everything they had left in stock.
Better take a very close look at those primers, if they are the new ‘green’ ones, they don’t store as well as the old school ones.
Yes, I got a *lot* of primers when they mandated ‘green’.
Still work well all these years later.
The lead ammo ban appears to be on use within the narrow region where the critically endangered condors live to avoid lead poisonings.
