To be quite honest I can't understand why we still have the shortage of brass, primers and even ammo. Powder finally seems at least around here to be in decent supply again but not so much so with brass, ammo and especially primers.
Who the hell is getting all of it? Factories are humming away at full capacity making all these items. I just don't buy the story that the war we're pretending to be fighting has any real major impact on the supply as none of them really have had such an impact since WWII.
Nope someone is still buying up all the ammo, primers, brass and to a lesser extent it seems the powder as fast as it hits the wholesale market so that darn little seems to be in the retail system. WHO? Beats the heck outta me but I think when/if we find out we're gonna find out it really isn't us hunters and shooters hoarding it away. I don't think we're gonna like what we find out about the WHO of it.
