    The great run on reloading supplies

    I'm sure you're all aware, but things are so crazy that even reloading supplies are in short stock. I can't find small rifle primers anywhere, .223 once fired brass is either out of stock or has doubled in price, things just insane.

    This isn't too bad. It was even worse a few years back. I think a lot of people learned there lessons back then and stocked up.

      Guess it's a good thing I stocked up a couple-three years back, shouldn't ever have to buy rimfire ammo or reloading supplies again.

            It's been a roller coaster for the last 13 years now. You stock up when you can and prepare for the run on this stuff.

                  Well I have 35,000 primers here in Irvine, CA.

                  I have box of 1000 and sealed case of 5,000. If you can drive over no problem.

                        Wow, that would mean 84,000 rds for me as a 7 year supply before I leave California.

                        I got a while to go to get there.

                          I shoot more shotgun sports then anything, Trying to find shot is getting crazy!! I'm pretty stocked but always looking to replenish.

                            223 brass and 9mm bullets are pretty sparse. Varget and 4350s hard to find, but that's normal.

                              SoCal is a bit too far for me to drive, I'm in Santa Clara county. Well I'm not in any rush to buy primers, I still have enough. I was just perusing powder valley and other online sites and at least for small rifle primers they've been run dry -- I guess everyone is stocking up on their 1k rounds of 223 for the apocalypse.
