I hope the manufacturers get caught up this year!..................DJ

So thats why I can't find any primers. Its time for someone to invent a new ignition system for rifles. Some sort of piezo igniter in the firing pin.

lets just say that the japaneese opted against a ground invaision of the US during WWII because of guys like me!!!!!!

Seeing as all of my shooting is in bolt rifles and mostly smaller calibers, I have 1000 pieces of brass in 222 , 223, 204,. And I will shoot them 50 at a time until they start to split. But I hear with timely annealing, brass can last a very long time.........
Primers and Powder I'm sure I'll never use up what I currently have.
Rimfire ammo, well if I shoot 3 bricks per summer, I'll have 29 summers worth. FS

Probably on the order of 15K rounds.

All my stuff was stored in my boat and it sunk a few days ago.
