Back during the Clinton years when there was a primer shortage, a lot of us were using every primer we could find on whatever shell we could stuff them in. But, as has been said, we backed off the loads and worked up.
My stock of large rifle primers is drying up currently but there are a thousand magnum rifle round primers in the reloading cabinet that I'll start using.
I know there are primers out there, but I'm not paying those gouger prices until my entire stock has been used up.
During the obummer reign of terror, .22 rimfire supplies were scooped up by hoarders and resellers.
I had thousands of rounds stocked up because i was shooting Steel challenges matches every weekend and .22 was the caliber of choice.
As the shortage and high prices continued, my stock dwindled. I had vowed years earlier that I would not buy .22 rimfire again until it got down to .04 cents a round.
Stash got down to critical levels before the prices finally got down to .04 cents and finally .03 cents during Trumps tenure.
I can assure you I will never run out of .22 rimfire until the day I die. Huge stash of it now.
Probably have a lifetime supply of spp and srp in stock.
