Primer Shortage: An interesting exchange

[Spitpatch]

At a very recent visit to a well-known sporting goods store in Montana, I got in a discussion with the gun-counter guy there about component availability (i.e.: Why the healthy Hornady bullet presence on shelves, when NO other bullet manufacturer seems to be able to accomplish that?).

The conversation turned to primers, whereupon he told me that on a recent effort to contact all manufacturers searching for supply, only Winchester happily informed him they had primers on hand and would be happy to ship him the case that he wanted..

And even Hornady hasn't given any attention to producing things like .257 diameter varmint weight bullets.

I buy hornady components, they make accurate bullets and their brass is decent. I do not like their carry ammo though.
