RE: primers
WOW! Guess no one is loading these days, well I contacted Ferderal about the shortage, they are working 24/7 producing and right now everything is going to the war, our law enforcement people and the rest into loaded ammo. They gave no time when we could expect to see some come our way, heard from another site it might be Mar 08 when you will start seeing some. By the way I'm using WLR's till the Fed's can be gotten again (may not go back to the Fed's ).

RE: primers
I guess I lucked out, just picked up a couple of 1000 each of 210M AND 215M last week. I saw some 205M's today and didnt have the money to buy them [:@]There does seem to be a shortage though, they are not on every shelf.

RE: primers
I use the Fed. 215M Gold Match primers and they work fine. I usually buy 200 at a time and only shoot about 100 rounds a year so I stil have some left from last year. I'll keep my eyes open to see what they have on the shelves when I go in for bullets today.

Whats everyone using now that Federal 210M's are darn hard to come by( or can't find any at all like me) ?

However, I HAVE had some good results with CCI LR primers. Having never used the "match" type primers, I don't really know if my rifles would shoot better whti them or not.

RE: primers
I did go pick up some Accubonds the other day at my local shop and asked about Fed primers. Sure enough, they are completely out and have been for a while. They had other brands but I have enough to last this year out. Will start shopping for them to stock up though, and probalby buy a lot of 1k when I do find some.
