I practically begged everyone I know to stock up on loaded ammunition if you didn’t reload and components if you did reload. They acted like I was crazy. Now they’re all crying. Sorry, I tried.
I have stocked up on primers as well, got about 10,000+ and have bought up as much loaded ammunition as possible. People say that I'm hoarding because I have plenty and they have little to no inventory, and also they may have lost their job due to the plan-demic so they can't buy up any ammunition they do find. And they look at me as if I should share or sell them ammo for what I paid for it back when it was plentiful and cheap. Haters gonna hate but at least I have ammo.
I guess hoping someday to be able to buy a case of hand grenades is out of the question. LOL!!! Boy, for such a great country, we sure can f**k things up! It was really quite simple to keep that grand old Republic of ours, but we just couldn't be bothered. These are not the conversations we should be having; but we were asleep at the wheel. We let the wolf into the hen house........ and dark days lie ahead. Best Wishes everyone; y'all are some good folks...... God Bless America
You're right about controlling the manufacturing process. A company call Black Rock is the controlling shareholder of both Vista (CCI,Remington,Speer,Blazer,Federal) and Winchester/Olin. When Vista bought Remington, they idled Remington's primer production line.
I remember Hillary trying to establish an "Arsenal License" requirement for the possession of 1000 primers, or live rounds- even .22. They'll be back with this sort of thing soon.
@Concerned Citizen exactly. For most of my many years I had never written a letter or made a phone call. The left never rests so that is the only voice the majority of companies and politicians hear. That needs to change. I take 20 minutes just about every day to call or send personal email or letters. Several have taken note of the increase in conservative voices being used. It's time we all did it.
I called and talked to friend's and family to stock up on ammo and components, all I got was meh, shrug. I stocked up forever ago during the Clintonista era and stayed like that. Glad now I was diligent in stocking up for a rainy decade.
I just stand by a street corner with a cardboard sign that says "Will work for primers. God Bless!" So far I got $3 and a bottle of water, so things are looking up....lol
I've been doing the same thing...what I hate is when they toss a box of berdan primed ammo at me and a big Mac. ..I throw both in the garbage...who do people think I am?!!
Had no idea you had a second channel. Been subbed to your original for 10+ years. Glad I found this one now. Thanks for the many years of great content.
I spent my entire tax return last year on primers, powder & bullets best investment I ever made. Plus 2k rounds of 556 & have been stocking up on 22 since the last shortage, probly had 10k till my son got a 10/22
Interesting legal gun control perspective here in South Africa regarding stocking up. A person licensed for "self defence" or "occasional hunting/sport shooting" may only have 200 rounds in total in his/her possession. Only one gun allowed under self defense, four guns maximum for self defence and the "occasional" stuff. One is then allowed to stock a maximum of 2400 primers in your residence. A person classified as a "dedicated hunter or dedicated sport shooter" has no limits in terms of guns allowed nor rounds and/or primers, but no gunowner may hold more than 2,4 kilogram of propellant (that is abt four one pound canisters, fifth canister takes you over the limit) which makes it very difficult to stock up. One runs out of powder relatively quickly. Workaround here is to make sure a spouse has a licensed firearm too, then one can double up on the powder. Also to ask friends with guns but who do not reload to buy and keep powder in their gun safe. Lots of shooters here in Pretoria stormed the gunshops to stock up on ammo, powder and primers when the lockdowns were announced last year. No good for us to storm the shops to buy guns, you may wait anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to get your license, as each gun is licensed individually. Semi auto rifles are most often the two year ones, many guys have to go to the court system to oblige the cops here to process the application.
I had the great fortune of being stationed overseas for a few years however I just came back to America in time to deal with this mess. Bad timing as always on my part. Glad you were smart enough to get your stock. I have just enough to enjoy my time in the Badlands. Have a great one sir, have always enjoyed your passing of knowledge to us younger folk.
No sir, good timing you are home now for the fight and welcome home and thank you for your service. Need all we can and will win this battle for our nation. Amen.
Absolutely! But most folks have short memories, life gets in the way and they get other priorities. I do however feel sorry on the subject for young folks who are just starting out and starting out or just coming of age to aquire such things. They got it tough. This kinda reminds me of that video you did about preppers. I love that video. I realize it was serious but it was 1/2 comedy gold as well. Especially when you said for those bugout people not to come into your area and if they made it there you could mop them up. Sometimes you have some things that really ceack me up.
Wish you were closer. WLP are the only ones I use in my .44 mag and all I can get my hands on are CCI large pistol. I’ve got plenty, but I always try to buy a replacement brick for everyone I use.
These days I don't shoot much centerfire other than brushing up a little before deer season. At this rate I won't be out of primers for some years but I have found it very entertaining to reload during this shortage. Not that I need to but I've been experimenting with primer compounds like many other people recently. I have some prime all like you tried but I don't like the idea that when you mix it up, the whole batch is shock sensitive. There are some which only activate after you add water and let dry. I would like to kill my deer next year with a 45-70 pounded together with my lee loader, primed with homemade compound, and charged with some home brew black. That sounds like an accomplishment.
I've got primers dated on the box..2000...went thru hoarder madness in times past...and like you, stocked up during times of sanity. As for primer brand....you'll find some fit tighter/looser than others. So, CCI fit loosest..they go in fresh cases. As the pockets loosen up federal and winchester fit tighter. I don't know anybody who'd be crying at you or pointing fingers for buying goods of any kind. And as for being 'ruthless' on ebay....there's no such thing. It goes to whomever bids the highest. I recently watched three partially full boxes of Hornady 30 caliber bullets sell for $155 plus shipping. Any idiot that'd pay that...deserves having his money taken. This lunacy will pass....sooner if the lunatics in control are removed from office.
I was at a rural auction yesterday here in Ohio. A single box of Winchester .22 rounds (about 40) sold for $11. Couldn't believe it. This time last year Walmart was selling 550 rounds of Federal for $26. Now they're getting rid of ammo sales altogether.....
@@waynemayle865 Glad to hear it. My local Walmart has stopped selling ammo completely. No empty shelves b/C no shelves at all. Apparently, it's up to the particular manager/owner. The store across the state line in Indiana is still selling, and yours is too so there's hope.....
It isn't hoarding when you buy up everything when stores can't give the damn things away. Last time I bought 22 in bulk was at cabelas and they had pallets of 22 bulk being sold by the case. I should have loaded up on ny primers then too, I have enough for a while but I missed stocking up on small rifle since I hate prepping loads of brass for semi autos, and now I need it.
All I got to say is I love the video and I love the way this guy stores his primers this guy must be a serious reloader just like me but one thing I noticed in the Box he does not have AR berdan primers and I got at least 9000 berdan primers I use those mainly for 8 mm Mauser.
I shoot so little centerfire these days, I've pretty much quit reloading. I have enough components to reload all of my brass once or twice more. At this rate though, I doubt I burn through my loaded ammo any time in the near future. I do wish I had more shotgun powder and wads on hand though. Clays season is nearly upon us!
Great job... have stocked up since 2008 🍉 Always bought when I saw some... if you are planning to... you are too late Went to the range today shot 308, 223, 9mm and picked up my brass
Pricing here in South Africa (ok it is premium ammo): 30-06 Nosler 165 grain Accubond: box of 20 will set me back 1 459 of our Rand, about 98 Dollar and fifty eight cent in your money.
Waaah Waaah lol,you're a smart man,just like when you get a couple dozen of this or that jeans, socks,gloves, you like what you like ,and you sure got some bullets now, waah Waaah.
Yes sir, we who perceived what was coming aren't nut jobs. We wish we were wrong, but unfortunately it is best to be prepared to fight and win than to perish as far as I'm concerned. God bless us all and have mercy on my enemies, oppressors, etc., because I won't 🙏🎅🤠😎🤬
Yep agreed,anyone with the same mind set as we have should have seen this coming.
The "give me" generation is going hungry. If we start sharing they will never wake up. Let em find there own.
Tough love is the greatest teacher.
hard times create good men
A lot of people don't seem to understand "get it while the gettings good."
I practically begged everyone I know to stock up on loaded ammunition if you didn’t reload and components if you did reload. They acted like I was crazy. Now they’re all crying. Sorry, I tried.
Same here .......now everyone I know ask me if I have any extra ammo I can sell them at yesterday prices
I have stocked up on primers as well, got about 10,000+ and have bought up as much loaded ammunition as possible.

And they look at me as if I should share or sell them ammo for what I paid for it back when it was plentiful and cheap.
Haters gonna hate but at least I have ammo.
We stocked up as well. Now once again times are hard and the ones who don't listen are reaping, once again, the fruits of their complacence.
"The time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining!"🤔
People crying is music to my ears. Good for you getting what you got!
Hording and stocking up are just different words for being prepared.
Nothing wrong with that.

Stocking up for personal use is one thing. Buying in large excess to turn a profit is another.
The ones that refused to listen and stock food, components and ammo are about to receive the Darwin award

I learned my lesson the last time we had a shortage, same as you. It was bound to happen again, and it did!
@E F + 1 and each time it happens it gets worse.
And it will happen again and the next time even more items will disappear and some maybe for good. The surplus market got nuked this last go around.

the toilet paper shortage shouldve been a wakeup call.
HISTORY IS DOOMED TO REPEAT ITS SELF...?
Last time I stocked up on ammo was in 2010-2012, and that time wasn’t even as bad as now. It seemed to repeat now but at a higher degree!
History may not repeat itself but it certainly does rhyme.

I’m stocked and keep my primers in a wooden ammo box as well. Works good

You can't fit 1K 45ACP in a 30 cal can but you can fit 1200 in a 50 cal can and you can fit 700 in a 30 cal can
Great job... have stocked up since 2008 🍉
Always bought when I saw some... if you are planning to... you are too late

I bought a batch of Win primers during the post Sandy Hook shortages & they were shit. Only use CCI & Federal anymore.
