    If no one buys, they'll be forced to drop prices.

    Yes it’s true, and can work very well. But the retailers don’t catch the drift even though it’s obvious and discussed in front of them ever day. They will automatically think - oh people aren’t buying these anymore, I won’t order those again!

    That’s a great idea really!

    That's a cunning plan! Peterson brass makes quite a few cartridges in SRP format. Starline does a couple too.

    It is but still cost you the brass, primers and more powder to re do the load. There are LRP around, you just need to ask the right people. Just scored 2 bricks for retail.
    It takes 20 barrels of water to make 1 barrel of beer...

    You have to keep it in perspective. Most people have bigger things to worry about. Half a dozen people dead and missing. 1000's displaced from their homes. 1000's of businesses ruined. And here we are hand wringing over the price of a 100 primers.

    Sad yes, bloody crazy even. But not relative mate. I could bring up the holocaust if you like? And we can debate all day.

    Shit even covid numbers if you like.

    This thread is to highlight the stupidity of humans. And there seems to be a few here and out there!

    Still a distasteful feat either way. There’s been a few good bastards selling some “new era” retail priced primers on here atm which is good to see!
