Powder valley said on their website they are getting in a very large order of Wolf primers. Enough to fill all their back orders as of July 1st. So this is a rather good sign of things to come.
Powdervalley also said there will be a %25 increase in prices.
Forgot to mention that. I am wondering if that is powder valley's increase, cause wideners seems to have the same price.
Just a thought.
I agree if evrybody bought what they needed and not stock pile on components and ammo. We would be ok. Isn't 500 or 1000 primers enough in sm rifle? Buying 5000 is crazy. How may years will it take to fire all of those?
That really depends on what type of rifles you have, what they are chambered in, and what how much you shoot. Its not that hard to go to the range with a couple AR's and put 3-400 rounds down range.
But I realize that you would never get enough people to go along to make it work. So we have to wait and suffer short supplies and ridiculous prices until every Jack and his cousin has 100,000 primers on the shelf.
I know it's not what we want to do, but if everyone would sit back, take a deep breath, and NOT BUY PRIMERS for 60 days the supplies would be overflowing and prices would come down. As long as we keep rushing to buy 5,000 or 10,000 every time some show up for sale then the prices will remain high due to the demand.
Just a thought.
I don't consider my buying 5K small rifle primers unusual. I have an AR and an M1 Carbine that I need to feed and don't have any small rifle primers at the moment. Plus you would have to be crazy to pay $22.50 plus $9.50 or so for hazmat+shipping on 100 or even a thousand primers. Especially when locally for me they are not in stock. Sorry boys but I want to shoot.

I will probably go through my 5,000 primers in a year or two. I am starting to get into 3 gun a bit, and I really want to try and get to Camp Perry one of these days. It takes practice, practice, practice to even hope to be a mid-level shooter at some of these events.
Econ 101. As long as we keep buying the price will keep going up. When demand slips so will prices. At what price will you stop buying? I say do it now. But that's just me.
If you rarely shoot and are just hoarding 'just because' then you are helping cause the shortage.
Many of us though, myself included, regularly shoot and reload a lot. I personally LIKE to shoot about 500 rounds a week... and that's small beans compared to many.
At that rate, 10,000 is what, 3 months worth? Hardly exorbitant. I like to order 30-40k at a time and wish that I could get some soon. Gota back order at Grafs.
Annnd, they said that when they get a shipment, they limit purchases to 1000 primers per customer.
After the election of 1994, primers went to the lowest prices ever, close to a penny each. It is then I stocked up.
