Just underscores the need to keep a good supply. I used to buy local as needed. Then in the 1990s, the Clinton scare made primers scarce. I started keeping a one year reserve. Then the 2012 obummer scare, I started keeping a two year reserve. I never go below that, whatever two years is for you. Just buy occasionally & rotate stock. Even in kommifornia most local shops stock primers, but at $40/1000+, no thanks. One decent shop about 30m away, $30/k for cci/win, still an hour drive + near $4 gas, ordering 10k on line is just easier, often cheaper too.
