My main problem is primers. When do they arrive. No good having prodgies when you cant get primers to move them.

Seems like its hard to think the right way when components are here and abundant. Powder is abundant now, so I've stocked up, thinking two to three years ahead. When primers were abundant - not so long ago, same thing. I didn't catch on to the pattern until after the good times were over re Bergers, but constant search of overseas websites and patterns led to eventual success. Might seem like toilet-paper hoarding misbehaviour, but how else to keep shooting?

Provided you don't have 20 years worth of components, I wouldn't call it hoarding, I'd call it being prepared !!

And, just an update, unfortunately bullets price will increase as Berger have just announced that a 10-30% increase in jacket prices
So things are not any better in 2023
