"My" never leave the local gun store empty-handed rule ...

[Lefty7mmstw]

My boy and I also built a muzzleloader pistol kit that the wife and I bought him for Christmas. It only took a couple hours from start to finish. 3 new guns in the house in a month. If this keeps up I'll need to buy another safe.

I messed up again in mid Dec.

I forgot I wasn't supposed to buy anymore guns & bought me a shotgun

I don't even worry about it anymore. She's gonna be mad at me for something anyway. Might as well make it a worthwhile reason.

I always had the rule of never leaving without buying a sleeve of primers, many times a brick. A sleeve was cheap, did add much to the overall cost of the trip and they added up nicely before they took the price jump they did. Still have 10 bricks at ~32.00 a brick.

Smart strategy to stock up on primers w/o breaking the bank.

I had more like 20 bricks at last count between pistol and rifle... I've still run short on a couple of types. I should have hit them a bit harder; most had been on sale during the last administration at one time or another.

I'm fairly new to reloading compared to most others on here and never experienced any shortages until the last couple years. I've got enough of everything now but when do I start purchasing for the future?
I'm thinking everything is going to be more expensive so buy a brick at now at $120 or hold out and hope it'll come down?

What do you have more of….time or money? Happy New Year.

Unfortunately I don't have much of either.

I am pretty new to reloading and don't shoot a ton so 10 bricks will last me the next 20 or so years. I have thought about selling some of them. Two bricks and I would be money ahead at current pricing.

There is more primer output coming online soon. If I'm not mistaken one plant is producing and another (Fiocci) is being built. I'd wait unless you need in the next year personally. If it starts looking like Biden will get term 2 then make sure you are good through it.

Not LGS, but I got lucky from Midway last week.

Glad you got some bullets but that's not why I'm replying.
Your quote by Thomas Sowell is absolutely perfect. I've thought along those lines many times but the wording nails it.

Yes, Sir! He's a brilliant man and often not given due credit.

So stopped by LGS to post flyer for conservation club and Voila! Remington 9 1/2Magnum primers! $90/brick. Not awful so grabbed brick.
