Yup. I keep seeing guys on this website say "stop complaining about the ammo shortage! Just roll your own like me!" yeah too bad nobody, including that guy, can get primers. Oh sure he has a stash of 20k from the last 10years? Sorry, that doesn't help the rest of us. I went from shooting 350-450rds every weekend to about 75rds on practice weekends and 150rds on competition weekends.
I'm sad to say, in many ways I'm that guy you referenced. I have 14k of primers, but that is divided between the four major types so really isn't that much. Just because I have components doesn't mean I'm loading and shooting anything. It seems more valuable than gold to me right now.
In a shtf scenario, it is at first. Food, arms, toiletries. Precious metals are important too, but regain value and market purchasing power when the dust settles.
Money is only useful for civilized people. I’ve seen some mock Bitcoin by talking about what happens when the internet goes down, but gold is just as useless when things get real. Guns, ammo, food, water, etc., is what holds value during those times.
Sure is. I've been a ammo handloader for over 40 years, and I've never seen a primer shortage like this.

You leave the gold buried until things calm down.
Yup. Thankfully, I have a box or two left...
