Default RE: Benchmark Powder

ORIGINAL: herman

Just picked up a can this week and he had more.Federal primers is whats hard to get here.(NC)
The fellow at the gun shop said he talked to a fed rep and was told that they were supplying the military,home defense,and law enforsement and couln't keep up with them????So may be awhile before we see any more fed large rifle primers.

thats funny because I talked to an ATK rep and he said that CCI was supplying the primers to all the ammo manufacturers that are contracted to make military ammo. and also lake city is supplying the brass and various other manufacturers are supplying propellant and projectiles. the lack of availability on federal primers would have to be related to some other issue more like logistics and shipping back log.
