Yes primers are going to be in short supply here soon as local supplies dry up and the US ban panic effect from 4 months ago starts to hit us. I've got a few thousand stashed so that'll do me for the moment. Buy everything in bulk, before there is an anticipated shortage. Keeps your price down and you don't run out.

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. ;)

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% cheaperQuote:

If I can't see 30-40G sitting there it's a shortage.
What did you pay and what for and where?Quote:

I bought it from my local H&F as they offered the best discount for the bulk. Organised a group buy on here and got 25,000 rounds for various people. Really have to keep a group buy pretty local as the stuff costs a fortune to ship
Some that I have started for a mate 6.5 284 fired 4 times left, cleaned, annealed an neck sized right.
It's by all means easy to do by hand but if you want neck tensions right for out a wee way there is only one way, the proper way

What do you call the proper way TM2?
Even heat, even time, so they are all the same an even given if you have it a little differnt each time in set up etc it wont matter if you do it as a batch.Quote:

My set up witch ill put up when i have the nicer on the eye model made as mine was tried everyway i could, ill but up a vid, its all on adjustble timers for bigger or smaller cases, 2 flames with 3rd for the bigger cases an when the case hits the beating point on the frame it goes onto another spinner so the case spins to get even heat around the case.
As you can see from the photo they are all very much the same i could put the 300 cases up an they will all look like that.
Like spanners said earlier its not really worth doing it what would you chrage?
They way this lot seem to be talking HEAPS.
Old school method worked well for years, I don't know why people all of a sudden think it doesn't work.
It works mate an will extend you life of brass. but past 4-500m expect fliers an erratic groups with un even neck tension, is what im meaning.Quote:

Why use a rangefinder and a scope that can dial when open sights and holdover has worked for HUNDREDS of yearQuote:

I still use this method when shooting my 110yr old WinchesterQuote:

Ive been using a twin gas torch setup with 750F Templaq for years, works perfectly.
Longest and worse part of annealing is cleaning the brass first.
Ive thought about offering a service but I just know that if the brass needed to be cleaned to a certain standard before I would do it, it wouldnt be done, Id end up doing it and I'll beat that people would moan their asses off because I charged them for cleaning the brass, I repeat the longest and worse part of annealing brass cases is cleaning them.

Be good to see how they come up, you going to do the lot or do a batch and test them?Quote:

Called SSM cleaning. The only thing you will complain about is how shiny they are.Quote:

The sad result is that componentry is then dependent on the absolute perfect detonation and travel from the shooter with its widely variable element called the human finger.Quote:
