Not sure what the primer problem is.
Every week or so I see a guy who runs a primer production line for Federal in Anoka, Minn. Previously he told me that in a shift with good production his line can make as many as 700,000 primers.
Today i asked him [re this thread ] if Federal had downsized their production of primers............
He laughed and told me that Federal hasnt slowed down a bit. In fact, he said, primer production was about a month behind.
Told me that apparently the COVID thing and these demonstrations/riots had speeded up reloading AND primer purchases.
He sounded sincere.
That makes sense. I know there are tons of people buying firearms. I bought a rifle a couple weeks ago and i started out at 4000 on the list for background checks. It ended up taking 6 days before the background check cleared. People are panicking again, so they are buying more than they need and stickpiling it.
