If a large quantity of primers came onto the market via ONE major retailer such as Midway, how many would you buy immediately?  No one else has them.  You haven't been able to get any for months.

For the purpose of the poll, focus on the quantity of your most important type.

Reiterating the oint, as some dd  not get it - use the poll to register how many of your single most important primer type you'd buy, small rifle, small pistol,... whatever type you'd like to buy.

i would think it would come down to how much the person shot, and how paranoid they are

i put 2000...this is only if i ordered today, even if jackass did do something, you could still fond primers and bullets for all the semis. jmo...and if he raised prices on ammo to the extereme you could always make your own

The no longer exist, so this is a hypothetical question yes?  I have heard rumors that some are possibly to be released at some point in the future, but they are having trouble locating enough unobtainium to manufacture them.

Generally I buy the box of 1000 only  when I wish to try a new brand/type of primer . Same thing when the price is not good and I am very low on a type/brand.
At most any other time I try to buy in 5000 count as that is the normal packing

I wrote CCI about the problem middle of last week.

We've seen unprecedented demand for certain calibers of ammunition and
the primers that charge them over the past several years. We've added
capacity to meet the increasing demand and are fulfilling backorders.

I am lowest on large rifle primers, but small rifle always seem to be in greater demand. I could always trade the sr for what I need.
10k small rifle for the poll.

53 votes so far and 20% of the votes are for >20,000!

If I could, I would open up the choices to better determine the upper bound.

I would only need 1 or 2K but you hate to pay as much in hasmat as for the product.  2k would be the minimum.

How many of the 20K plus would try to resell them?
4/4/2009 12:53:09 PM EDT
[#9]
Way less than 20K, probably just 1K

I got some before the furor started

I'll be working this summer at reloading probably 10K rounds of various calibers whose components I bought some time ago.

For the present, and forseeable future, I'll be shooting mostly .22RF under conditions/ranges that will maximize its' training utility. If you use the .22RF intelligently, there's no great loss, except for long-range shooting.

I have a fair amount of ammo already stashed, and the new stuff will pretty much top-off my containers.  FWIW, I once misplaced a couple of cases of Greek .30'06 ammo.  I knew I had it, but just couldn't lay my hands on it.  No matter.

With prices/availablity conditions like they are now, I'll stay with mostly .22RF.

Maybe 5000 small pistol.

But that isn't on your poll anywhere
4/4/2009 5:23:47 PM EDT
[#12]
I voted 5k.

If all sizes were available, I would get LR and LP first.

I'm really ok with SR.

None. I'm good.

As it stands now, there are 123 responders with an average order of somewhere around 10,000 primers.  

If you voted >20,000, how many would you be ordering.

I would order all of them of course......

4/5/2009 7:19:49 AM EDT

I would prefer my orders well rounded.



5-10k SRP

5-10K LRP

8lb x 4 of powder

You goofballs are just going to drive up the primer prices too.

Primer inventories will return to normal just like they always do.

If I could find them at a good price, I'd buy 15-20k of small pistol.  I shoot around 5k rounds in competition, so I would like to have the extra so I can practice between matches.
