I am not going to be a member of this board because I do not believe the ammo companies claims?
Razorback, you are making good points (in my opinion, with my limited pursuit of the facts). I think the claim you won't be on the forum long is that there is a pattern of people getting passionate about something and the get offended by other posters and then quit after being criticized.
Stick to your guns so to speak but don't be hurt by others disagreeing with you.
I especially like your point that after many cycles of shortages that none of the primer makers or ammo makers would have expanded capacity enough to make big profits when the cycle repeats.
Do the smaller ammo makers have contracts with the primer manufacturers? Why are nearly all of them out of stock? I bet they want to make more ammo but they can't get the primers to do it.
Wouldn't a smart company look at the past and say "Hey, next year is an election year, that means there will be shortages, better get a huge supply of components so we won't run out like the last 6 cycles. We will make lot's of money because every one else is stupid and will not be prepared like we will."
