rowdyb Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 No. Based off what is in my garage right this second I do not have enough components for 9 minor to shoot all of 2022 how I am used to from years past. That level being 700 rounds a week, 500 being for practice each week and 200 for a match. Even if I switched to 800 rounds a month I could not make it to the end of 2022 with what is in my garage as I type this. It also sucks that once or twice a month I'm using my own ammo to teach/demo for whatever class I am shooting though I often use factory made ammo for this versus my own loaded ammo. It's pretty easy to shoot 100 rounds in an 8 hour class if you demo everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightj75 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I just got into uspsa this past march and was lucky to find components locally along with online most of the past year. Since my season is over I'm trying to stock up for next year now because I was pretty much shooting what I could get up to this point. As of now I have enough for about half of 2022 hopefully by January or February I will have a modest stockpile to get me through the rest of the year. Hopefully when prices inevitably come down some I'll stock up for the next few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishbreath Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I only shot about 5,000 rounds in 2021, and can sustain a little more than that through 2022, by the end of which supplies will hopefully be easier to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrickxx Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I’ve got enough primers to shoot next year. It’s probably not enough for my goal. I’ve been to busy with other things the last few years. But I’ve setup a new dry fire space and I’m going to hit it really hard this winter, mix in some airsoft. Then see if I can stretch my supplies far enough to get where I want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightforce Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I have enough to cover all matches for next season. The amount of practice I can perform is to be determined. After next season if things don't change I am in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of practice I can perform is to be determined. After next season if things don't change I am in trouble. we cut way back on our live-fire practice starting about august 2020 when we realized we might not have enough primers to get through 2021. However I got significantly better with less live-fire (100 rds or less per session, 3 times/month), and had my best nationals result ever in the spring. I just tried to concentrate my live fire on recoil control, and gripping the gun so the sights dropped back to exactly the right spot and did everything else in dry-fire. Also started doing more dryfire in between live fire runs at the range. Also started paying more attention to how realistic my dryfire is, in terms of grip and vision. Even if I have to pay 8-10 cents per primer for a bit, I'm still spending significantly less on ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKJD Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I've stayed stocked up since the primer scare of the Clinton Administration and have always kept a 2-3 year supply. I currently have enough primers powder and bullets to last for 2 more years loading CO, PCC, and Rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyScuba Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Couple of years. Powder, brass and projectiles aren’t an issue. As for primers stock was available up here until early this year. Given what I was seeing in the US I was still buying. I have not seen much for sale lately at all. What I’ve been told (and know of 1 dealer) is that CDN stock was being re-sold back into the US and really pissing off Vista. So there is a little that pops up but it’s 40% more than last year.

RobW Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I only burned up about 7000 rounds this year to date, at that rate I'm good for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCH Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 If I only shoot one club match a month and keep live practice to a minimum I should have plenty. It also helps that I can find 115 grain FMJ 9mm in stock pretty regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting to pay the same or even more for 2021. I don't see primers be under $80/k (after haz matt + shipping) in the next 3-5 years if you are shooting large quantities. If you only buy few K a year from local whenever they have something in stock, you may get by with $75/k plus tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
