Well it's no revelation that black guns are getting harder to find on store shelves.
Now my local gun store is out of 308 brass and low on large rifle primers. He tells me both are getting harder to find and they have been on back order for awhile. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Yeah the local Gander Mountain is ALWAYS running low on 308 and 223 ammo.

Absolutely. Retail dealers...Cabelas, Midway, Sinclair...No Brass (especially Lapua)...No Primers.

I finally found and bought a brick each of CCI Large Rifle and Magnun primers. (I am having no luck finding the CCI #34 Milspec primers, which is what I really want.)

I have resorted to buying the best commercial ammo I can, shoot it, and reload it.

My local dealer said that it is more speculators capitalizing on government fears, than actual government intervention. People with foresight have bought up the stuff and re-selling at a scalper's premium.

I dunno if its true.

Same here, no large pistol or rifle primers, or small rifle primers! Look at the big suppliers like Midway, there out to!Many of the large powder (8#) are also out of stock....

At the gun shows around here, pretty much the first few hours are people walking out with boxes of primers, and then they are out for the rest of the weekend.
