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..
...with the condition that he also outlay finances to buy a case of their "Super, Ultra Premium" (whatever they call their most expensive) ammunition.
Extortion. Pure and Simple.
