One of my coworkers has ~17k, large/small pistol and small rifle, and just ordered another 20K along with 8lbs of powder.  He doesn't plan on seeing it until the end of this year  :o

Crazy!  He's the kind of guy that is contributing to the problem, 17K would get him through the next year easily.  In fact he bought a bunch of .223 55g bullets recently and is turning around and selling them with a $25/1000 markup.  I understand capitalism better than most but feeding on the fear of others is wrong IMHO. 

My $.02  YMMV...

Hi;

     Good luck on finding primers anywhere at a decent price - if found.  Expect this panic prices to continue until the end of this year. Perhaps beginning of next year everyone will calm down - manufacturers getting caught up with demand and then shelves to be restocked locally.

     After the panic and calm resuming, then is the time to buy and store/stock up for the next panic, then you can sit back and laugh at the people running around like a chicken with their heads cut off.

     till then, dont use what you have.  Save your money for cheaper days.

Hope he ends up eating them.  I received enough small and large pistol primers last week to do me until the end of the summer.  Small and large rifle due to be shipped the end of April.  These I bought at near the old, not scalped price of approx. $34.00.

A local guy just received a shipment of 25k small pistol but is selling them for $50.00/k.  The local guys wouldn't have the hazmet charge but a different local guy last fall was $29.00/k, local pickup no hazmet charge.  From research I've done, the distributor has gone up a couple bucks on a thousand but not significantly.

Or be like me and buy them off people for dirt cheap in a year or two.
