Default PRIMER SHORTAGE?????

I hit 5 sportsman's warehouses, 1 Cabelas, and 2 Joes. They were all out of Federal 215M primers.

you know you may be right. I went to 3 places to get 205M, with no luck. For some reason federal primers are in short supply.

A lot of those primers found their way to either Iraq or Afghanistan. We`ve noticed a shortage of them up here as well.

BC,

They could be taking up the line capacity to make others though. I heard from someone that Federal got a good goverment contract.

I am going to continue to hit these stores on a daily basis to snag a brick. They are getting some in, but very limited quantities.

What happens is when the word gets out,that the primers are going to be in short
supply,everyone runs out and hogs all they can get..I was in Jerry's warehouse
a few years back and the guys were going nuts on buying primers
