I'd argue that primers are a rarer commodity.Ammo is the next currency.
Ammo is to be bought,sold, and in an emergency traded
speaking of ammo prices, was checking the inventory and found some ammo from my grandfathers gun cabinet
box of 20ga. for $3.85 dated 10/13/79
box of .22mag for $5.35 dated 3/28/81

S*!T, that ammos older than you and your ancient.
WTF? Used to be $30 per 1000 last year.
I have an unopened case of small pistol primers I got a couple of weeks ago. I could sell just one of the boxes on GB and recoup what I spent for the case and then some. I won't because who knows when this will end. Crazy times.
10x normal price.Not at that price.

Your entire post answers itself.Covid sure did a number with ammo prices but gun owners are also causing the "Shortage" How many idiots are going in and just clearing the shelves when they see ammo at Walmart to either "Stock up" on it or resell. I watched a guy on YouTube last night he had ammo for guns he doesn't even own. Half the people can't hit a target at 50 yards what do you need 5000 rounds of ammo for.
With the bidden administration talking about more gun restrictions and the continuing issues related to covid shutdowns and delays I don't see the issue going away for a long time. They wont need to pass gun legislation because the average joe is pretty much already priced out of shooting for sport or hobby.
Cheaper than dirt has 9mm at $2 per round. We're well on our way to this.Just seen a new high for 556. $1.28 per round. People are smoking dog shit with the no low ball offers lol
I have more guns than I'll ever shoot. I have stuff I've had for years and haven't even taken them out of the house. I seriously need to downsize.Yeah I've been thinking hard lately and you will see a good chunk of my collection up for sale probably next week whatever I don't sell locally to friends/family. Still keeping some guns but would you rather go shooting and spend $400 on ammo for an hour shooting or make a payment on a new motorcycle or boat.
Lost too many family members recently I'm going to spend what time I have left enjoying life.
