Shotgun shell primer shortage? Maybe this is the reason.

Industrial accidents can effect many things.

Glad I have about 9,000 Win 209's on hand.

i hope the driver's family recovers

The shotshell primer shortage way predates that unfortunate accident.

One semi trailer of primers isn’t going to end the shortage.

It’s sad, and I hope they figure out why it happened- it takes quite a bit to set off a primer unintentionally.

Greed and fear are the main causes of all primer and powder shortages!

Hip

Perhaps a careless forklift driver was the culprit, a fork speared into a pallet of primers would set the lot off.

I agree with others: While tragic for the driver and his family, it's not going to be anything more than a drop in the primer supply bucket.

There's more to the supply issue than meets the eye. Many factors are to blame for the shortages and ammo for a proxy war is one of the big ones IMHO.
