...bit of smoke and mirrors there.
There was no "shortage" of primers in 1965-1970 when average daily expansion of small arms ammo in SE Asia was expontentially higher than in today's conflicts.
All major manufacturers then are still in business making primers now. Plus Russia was not shipping primers to the US then (Wolf).
