Jacob is right, to a degree. Sig has started making primers. The embargo on Russia has cost us the Murom (Wolf) primers, but importers are getting lots of other off-shore sources coming in. Ultimately supply will come back. But ultimately inflation, supply-chain issues, and cost of raw materials will cause a slight rise. I remember the days long ago of $56/case of 5000 primers. Realistically, when things settle out, I see 5¢ to 6¢ primer costs. I’d definitely be a buyer once more at 5¢, no questions asked. For now, I’ll survive off my 20,000/size stash. It’s getting loaded for stockpile though, not as much shooting right now. Current project is loading 500 7.62NATO with the Hornady 150gr FMJs from RMR. Those will go in an ammo can rather than shot at the range. When prices hit 6¢/primer again, I’ll be shooting them up…
