Primers???

[dung]

notify me hasn't worked since I started reloading right at the beginning of the pandemic. I have picked up primers at bass pro twice in the last 3 months. Discord has been having batches pop up regularly the last few weeks, but the sell out in hours instead of seconds.

I will keep reloading, but i am going to try to avoid buying primers for a few more months. Surely this $75 price per box will fall if we quit grabbing them all up

I've been constantly asking Midway to notify me when primers come in and never, ever once received a notice that primers were in stock. Not even for one minute. I'm beginning to think that "notify me" tag on their products is a crock of bovine excrement.

Primers are generally selling out faster than a notice would go out so those notices are non existent.

I was surprised when Brownells had small pistol primers in stock and it lasted overnight. In the recent past they have sold out in minutes. They had other primers as well but they did sell out quickly.

It's up to you to find a way to be notified by other sources or to constantly check 6 or so websites for stock and then get lucky and make it through checkout.

We also have Remington starting to put primers in the market again. In the last few days I have been able to get CCI small and large pistol primers and Remington large rifle primers from Brownells and Midway USA.

B’lieve Mr. Bruno overpriced his shipment of CCI 7.62 primers.

At $550, they’ve been in stock for a week or two now.

I hope he gets more of that medicine before this is done.

I damn near spent a bunch of money today. Natchez was allowing you to buy 5 boxes at $55 or 60 each. I was fast enough to get them added, but not fast enough to check out!

I agree %200!! Notify Me "NEVER NOTIFIES ME"!

Recently took a 2000 mile road trip.

Best I was able to find was $20 per 100 Small/Large Pistol/Rifle Didn't matter. If they had it, it was spendy.

We still have large rifle magnum and 7.62 primers on the shelf right now for $42.06 plus tax per 1,000 (limit 1,000). They have been there for weeks. We are only around 50 miles from Indy, no need to drive 2,000 miles...

We also currently have almost 4,000# of powder in stock, and more arriving almost every day.

Well the reason for my trip wasn't SPECIFICALLY to find primers. But VERY good to know!!

Only primers I'm getting closer to needing is large pistol. But driving 6 hours or ordering only 1k online isn't worth it yet. Maybe when the limits are dropped so hazmat fee or driving distance won't be bad then.

Small pistol primers seem to be the hardest to find. Going prices on them?

Brownells has had them a few times recently. $74.99/k 2k limit plus has at, shipping and taxes. Close to $100/k.

The Portage Bass pro had CCI small rifle & Federal large rifle in stock last week. $65/k for the cci, $75/k for the fed. In a pinch I've used small rifle in 9mm with reduced charges & had no issues, YMMV

No. I quit doing that show when they raised tables to $65, they are $100 now. It was a good show in the 90's, total waste of time and money for me now.
I am in Terre Haute setting up right now.

How did I miss that?! Was just there past weekend. What wing / section of building were you in? Guess I need to drink a little more coffee next time... Good to know about delivery, maybe I'll order stuff next go around thanks

We are always in the south wing (the one with the big overhead door) on the east side. It was the only place you could find more than a few pounds of powder, we had around 800# at the show. We also have about 10 tables of magazines. Black Rifle Coffee, morale patches, AR-15 parts and uppers, body armor, ammo and reloading supplies.
