What happened to all the primers?
Primer stocks are way down - why?

Federal primer production tends to be going to Government contracts which reduces the number they can make for the consumer. I imagine if enough people who usually use Federal are having a hard time finding them, they'll go to another brand. All in all, it makes for less availability for everyone. I don't know what type of Government contract work the others have but if they do, it again reduces availability to the reloader.

I dont see the problem with us owning guns. Gun laws only affect the law abiding people. I dont care if your gay and want to marry one that has nothing to do with me. and I understand both sides why to and not to have a abortions.

People wonder why I m independent. Because I be leave what I want not what a party tells me.
Sorry I ramble and can tend to rant horse
Trapping skunks is fun, just dont get sprayed! that goes for politicians too!
