I use Ammo Seek for finding ammo, primers and bullets I am looking for. During normal times I set the alerts for low ball prices and occasionally I get an alert for something and I jump on the low prices. But now during this panic buying things are VERY different. I reset the prices for my alerts to a higher price. And now occasionally I get alerts letting me know that something I want becomes available. But when I go to the website the website is either unstable because thousands of others are trying to buy the same thing I am at the same time or they are out of stock when I add to my cart. Either way I am never successful in placing an order. Even if I hit the website within seconds of the alert.

Fast Forward to around 5:15am this morning. Received a notice from Ammo Seek that Brownells just put cases of Small Magnum Rifle Primers up for sale at 5 cents a piece. I don’t use Small Magnum Rifle Primers in any of my ammo. But I can use them in place of Regular Small Rifle Primers if necessary. Which will free up all of my Regular Small Rifle Primers which I can use in place of Small Pistol and Small Magnum Pistol Primers. I immediately stopped what I was doing and jumped onto the Brownells website. It took me almost 10 minutes to get my order placed. It was so slow and I kept receiving shopping cart error messages probably due to all the people trying to do the same thing at the same time. But I was able to successfully place an order.

Assuming my order does not get cancelled, which I have had happen before, I will be able to continue reloading for pistol and rifle for a good while longer until this panic buying eventually stops. YAY!!!

5 cents a case? I hope you bought at least two cases.

I was so excited that I got through and had a chance to buy a case of small primers I didn’t think of trying to buy 2.    Oh well, learn from my mistakes.

Would be nice for us, here in Hawaii.

That’s why I warned everybody last year to buy as much as you can. I saw it already happening on the mainland and what happens there follows you guys out there 6 months or so later. The problem is as things et better here, it will take 6 months for the same to happen to you guys out there. At least thats the way it worked during the last panic.
