Question Federal 209A Primers?

I've been looking for some Fed 209A's and can't seem to find any. I usually get some from the Gander Mountain in Ocala, FL but they were completely out. Sportsmans Warehouse in Columbia, SC was out last time I was there also. MidwayUSA and Cabelas are out. Cabelas says backorder is 9-10 weeks. Are you guys having the same issues and do you know of anywhere I could score some?

I don't have any problem finding Federal 209A primers. Picked up a couple hundred last week. I am having problems finding Remington STS primers however.

What are you using now? In my Omega they are more dirty then the STS primers and a slight change in impact.

It's the total opposite here. STS primers are everywhere.

Tom, I just called them and they said they won't ship them. I asked why and the gentleman on the phone said, "HASMAT". I said, "You guys can't just charge the fee and then ship them?" He said, "No".

Oh well, the search continues...
