Is it really a shortage?
This has already been discussed and member posted what CCI told them. CCI said they are shipping millions of primers everyday. But where are they? Are distribution centers holding them? Are they being put on the shelves? Just like the "ammo shortage" a few years back. Right after the "shortage" there were tons of ammo on the shelves, online, at gun shows. Just like diamonds are so rare and that makes them expensive. There are warehouses full of diamonds ready to be cut. There is no real shortage. Just like the military munition shortage, there isn't one.
That's exactly how I see it
Perhaps call them and ask why?
I have one. And as soon as someone makes a flint lock cap and ball revolver, I'll get one of those too.
But for now if I wanna shoot my beloved revolvers I'm at the mercy of the cap market. I have a decent supply, but I don't like having to ration my shooting. And as much as I don't want to I may have to get into making caps.
I was looking at the cylinder presses. What was wrong with yours?
Got it as a aid for the wife but the base is too small and the arm is too short for it to be of any use.
I am buying CCI primers every time I go to my local shop: they have plenty on their shelves. Cabela's has lots of primers on their shelves as well.
True, I wouldn't doubt what you all say to be true.
I have one. And as soon as someone makes a flint lock cap and ball revolver, I'll get one of those too.
I wish my local gun shops carried black powder items. I might have to take a road trip.
