A small local shop that I frequent has had a steady but sporadic supply of powder but primers have been scarce. Last week he got a shipment of Nobelsport primers but to get them he had to buy an entire pallet. They are packaged in cartons of 10k primers and he's selling them for $595 per carton. The owner claims he can get stuff if he orders big enough -like a million bucks big. Suppliers just do not want to mess with small orders.
A few months ago he had 80 8# of Clays at $202 and 60 8# of Win WSF at an astonishing $160. Between my son and I we bought 56 pounds of WSF. He sold out in about 3 weeks.
