In my opinion, if someone is willing to pay the high prices then the supplier of the product is using capitalism to their advantage. This is basic supply and demand. I certainly won't pay those kind of prices unless I am forced to, but I also don't shop for groceries at a convenience store unless I am forced too.

This is a simple case of consumer demand outstripping production. I prefer this system where the price fluctuates on supply and demand than some entity stepping in and setting a price to where they think it should be. Both system have advantages and disadvantages... deal with it.

Ive always thought that a brick of primers was 1000. A brick of 22 LR, 500. But that's just my part of Texas!

Here in Wis. too 10 bricks to the case of 5000 rounds of 22. a sleeve of 5 bricks for 5000 primers

A "sleeve" of primers is 5K,

We call them "cases" up here.

I always thought 5,000 was a case.
