Not much new in this article, but two quotes that sum up the state of things for our foreseeable future:

QuoteJason Hornady said that they are producing about 30-percent more ammo than would normally be considered full production and 40-percent more reloading components. He said that if orders stopped coming in today, it would take two years to catch up

Quotewe are looking at somewhere between the fall of 2021 and the spring of 2022 before things show any sign of returning to normal

Hornady is a very small supplier  of what we use.
We have seen this before, and I would  bet   by March you will be able to get primers no problem  if you know and support our cowboy vendors who have been on the backorder  list way before  most of us.
April on store shelves sporadically,  may, June no problem.
Retail will be 42.95$.
Stay calm.

One of the things effecting available ammunition was the bankruptcy of Remington. Remington Ammunition has been purchased through the courts and the potentially good news is that the new owner state that they should be up to full production next month. The more ammo hitting the shelves the faster things calm down, and primers start showing up again.
