All components are being bought in excess of actual use in these uncertain times, but it seems primers are leading the race in backorders and out of stock notifications. Why is that? Six or seven years ago it was primarily Pistol powder, not so much primers, that went MIA for about four years. None of this effects me because I stocked up in the last crunch and there after, but why primers this time around? Did everyone go over kill on powder after the powder shortage, neglect primers, then suddenly realize in April 2020 their powder is useless without primers?

For entertainment purposes check auction prices for primers if you have a second. Thank goodness I don’t need them.
