[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2230882, member: 118038"] Yes, I have wondered a lot of the same things......There does seem to be an inexhaustible supply of primers on Gunbroker though for 2-300 dollars per 1000......At first some of that was clearly old stocks, but now it seems more like new stock......wonder where it is coming from? Why did Hodgdon's open their own retail store too? Seems like its hardly ever stocked, but why is it even needed, especially since it ain't stocked much? I can understand manufacturers like Remington who have been hounded into bankruptcy being disrupted, and everyone being disrupted by the pandemic, and it does seem like straight ammunition has gotten much better though still not good in the last month or two if you know where to look, but components like powder, primers-especially primers, and even bullets and brass, and even reloading tools, like dies, neck turners, concentricity guages, anything and everything has gotten in short to non-existent supply? Of course semiconductors in the Auto, phone, and computer business has done the same supply nose dive.....Used autos were up 17% in April alone......and like 25% this year. There ain't many new ones to buy! China is responsible for that one IMHO.... they have been buying up the semi conductor supplies, and if they go into Taiwan, we are going to be in a pretty fix........about like this famous painting by Tait---Its Called a Tight Fix......(see attachment)....If you enlarge it you can see the hunter has lost his rifle, and has only a hunting knife......his hunting partner is way in the background aiming a different direction at something else, and is unaware of the situation.......Our country is a little bit like that other hunter......doesn't really see or understand what's going on in the neighborhood, IMHO. But, yes, I have wondered which billionaires have warehouses full of powder, primers, bullets, and necessary gear.......Taint me! No pun on Tait intended.....:) Semiconductors are in all our military gear, and electronics throughout the economy. Next Pandemic is a semiconductor and rare earths shortage??? Or maybe the Delta Variant.......or worse.....Tight Fix..... [/QUOTE]
