    Thats exactly why there is shortage.

    It's a tail spin effect

    People buying in bulk for fear of running out for whatever reason.

    Sellers reorder in even greater bulk thinking there's an increase in demand = an increase in profits to be made.

    Maunfacturers unable to keep pace with demand creating a real shortage

    Panicking people to buy even more and so on.

    I got several thousand stashed too.

    Buggered if I'm going to miss out.

    Cheers

    Only when everyone buys at once, because of BANPANIC or whatever. I always buy in bulk for cheapness, haven't bought primers in like 2 years, bought several thousand. Same with .22 ammo, just bought 10k rounds of subs in December, 40% cheaper

    What did you pay and what for and where?

    Im thinking of buyung at least 5k of 22LR...if there is a decent discount for 10k I'd do that.
