[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2913076, member: 101791"] We field 1/2 million men in Vietnam at times plus the ARV soliders and other. I was with an Armor Cav unit. At times all troops were in a firefight. That was over a 1/2 million rounds that we went through in less than a day. That didn 't count the boys in the air either. We ran low in the fire fight, but were resupplied in the evening. We never put that many in both Afghan and Iraq. Now I was in the state in 1969, but after I got out, I didn't see any shortages. I have seen then after that. Not like we are going thru presently. One company owns most of the primers being built today. I kind feel that they. created the shortages. the price of primers has gone from about $40 to well over $120 per brick. Really it's over 3 times the price. So somebody making a lot of money, and the rest of us are getting stuck in the *** for it. Yes I got a brick of Winchester primers this morning, got stuck again. 🥸 Last year I got a brick of Rem LR primers @ $40.00 including sales taxes. [/QUOTE]
