RE: primers
ORIGINAL: BIG.PAUL Does any one know where I can get a hold of any large pistol primers "Out of stock, no backorder" everywhere! |
RE: primers
I just picked up 2000 at the Reno Gun Show. Thats all they would let me buy. I buy what I can when I can. Supplies are too scarce to be choosy.

RE: primers
I don't shoot pistol very often, I bought a 1000 winchester small pistol magnum primers about 4 years ago and still have about 800 of them. They'll last a long time. Everything has been scarce. I went to a local shop and just for the hell of it asked if they had any I4064 in stock, the guy surprised me and said yes, got 1 lb and looked at the price tag $ 29.00 and he had the nerve to suggest that i buy more than one. I told him at that price I'll wait until I take a trip to PA and I'll get it at Walmart or Grices for $9.00 cheaper. That one got me a dirty look. This place was selling powder for $22.99 per lb less than two months ago. For that kind of mark up I find it really hard to support the local guy. A box of 100 gr 25 cal Sierra Gamekings were priced at $ 31.99. That is Like $6.00 to $ 8.00 more than Midway or Cabelas. Man I can't wait for the Cabelas in the Meadowlands to open.

RE: primers
I think cabelas has some.

RE: primers
We have a Cabelas neer us (Reno NV) and they are out of EVERYTHING. I asked when they might get in any primers or powder and was told 3 months at the EARLIEST. That was for Smokeless and Black Powder and primers. The bullet selection was picked clean. We also have a Scheels and a Sportsmans and they are empty too. By the way, ouot Cabelas is WAY over priced. For BP they charge at least $6 more than any other place around....EG: Blackhorn209......38.99, any place else....32.99. T7 BP.....28.99, othert places, 22.99. H4895 or H4350 or benchmark or what ever is close to 30.00 per pound. They said they would price match if the other store has the same product in stock, thing is, nobody has anythiing in stock, including Cabelas.

RE: primers
Scratch that, just checked, cabelas is backordered on all primers. Hard to believe.

I called Grice's a couple of days ago, and said "I'm gonna ask a silly question----Do you have ANY IMR 4350 powder? Cans, kegs, whatever?" Rick just chuckled...said "NO". But he said they had over 1000 cans ordered, and it's SUPPOSED to be there some time in May. When in May he had no idea.... Luckily I have SOME on hand, and checked with a few of my reloading friends. I can borrow if I need to. |
RE: primers
PA, I hear you, the last time I was up there was the beginning of March and I was pleasantly surprised that they had I4350 in stock, I was going to get an 8lb jug but didn't have it so I ended up getting 5 1lb'ers. What part of central PA you in. I usually visit friend's and family in Munson and Grassflat, hunt 4d and 2g. Hopefully I'll get back up there for the season opener at Muddy Run.

RE: primers
Have you tried buying 22 shells lately. I live in a town of 20,000 with three stores that sell guns and ammo, there is not a 22 shell in this town.
|
RE: primers
Everything is tight at the big retailers right now. Your best bet is to try a small gunshop in a SMALL town. I stoped in a tiny gunshop in a small town (Pop ~500) near a boat launch I use, to check out inventory. All of the .22shells and popular caliber amunition you wanted, as well as primers for LR, SR, LP, SP, 209 and #11 caps.Luckily I stocked up on primers before all of this hit when I ran into a great deal on NOS ($15 per 1000), I layed RemingtonKleenbore (remeber those? NOS)LR primers deep enough that I wont have to buy any for the next couple decades.

RE: primers
Stopped by a local gunstore to check for primers.... 4.79/100 for CCI's. I just said NO thanks! They had RL-19 for 31 a pound as well. Stopped by a Wal Mart later that evening that had 8 pounds of IMR 4350 on the shelf as well as 3 pounds of Varget. I bought 2 of each. Im pretty well set on powder. Primers will be what I run out of first.
Ive had my fill of Mom and Pop laying the gouge during this shortage. I will never spend another dollar at that store. Ive gotten just about any kind of powder I wanted from Wal Mart for the usual 21-23 per pound. Darn shame they dont have primers. |
RE: primers
You are lucky Walmart up here handles no reloading supplies at all. NOTTA
|
RE: primers
The Walmart here doesn't carry any.I live on the Ky-Wv border and have 3 with in 30 miles.
|
RE: primers
I have 900 CCI 350 large pistol primers that I will trade for Magnum rifle primers.
|
RE: primers
I haven't seen any small rifle primers, varget, rl-15, blc-2, or IMR 4064 in over 6 months in my area. A friend of mine who is a lot more aggressive than me and who calls local gun shops regularly was able to score 200 large rifle primers a few weeks ago (they had a per customer limit). Things are pretty pathetic these days.

RE: primers
WalMarts are odd as to what they carry. It seems to be based on the habits of the local residents. Our local WalMart here in SW PA carries guns and ammo only. The one I mentioned in a previous post in Clearfield, PA. near our camp in the North Central mountains not only carries guns and ammo, but also has a fairly good supply of reloading equipment including dies, presses, powder scales, bullets, and powder. That's where I scored 2 lb. of IMR 4350 about 3-4 wks. ago. Strange..............

RE: primers
I got lucky and got a deal on CCI Large Rifle Primers that a guy just had posted on Gun Brokers. I bought a 1,000 for $29 shipped!!!! He shipped them to my P.O. Box.:):)

RE: primers
Double post.
|
RE: primers
That's a good deal. I was on there yesterday and someone had 1000 Federal 215's for $150.00 " Buy it now" ! WTF?
