	FWIW......I ran into a guy at our local range who was visiting from out west, and worked for one of the large ammo companies. He to,d me that they are making ammo (and components) at their maximum capacity.

	Too many rifles.....not enough money

	I was lucky to find some CCI large magnum rifle primers at Bass Pro last week, but they were pricy. I think over 6 dollars per 100. I bought 700 and left 300 for someone else. I use these in my Ruger no. 1 in 7mm mag. It is a hunting rifle, and at my age these will probably last me until my expiration date.

Missed you last year overnight In Gretna deluge next morning turned and ran back home Likely to shoot rim & CF. Have a fair supply of .22 ammo. The shotgun primers a real help, my grandsons shooting 100-200 a week. Recent outings with him I pull Targets do not shoot due short supply. Boats You really should have stayed and shot with us. Friday afternoon was one of the nicest shooting days we have ever had there as far as weather conditions, and we brave souls had a great time. You are planning on coming and shooting this time, right? Make sure you read my note about the detour. They’re finally replacing that narrow little bridge on Shula Dr so that way is closed. Froggie

	I read that just recently Remington's ammo division has resumed manufacturing after being shut down for a long time during the bankruptcy period. The factory stated they are up and running 24/7 currently to catch up with ammo requests. So maybe they'll be supplying primers soon also.

	In order for Remington to produce ammo they need to manufacture primers first. Hopefully they will produce enough for a reloaders share.
