shortage on primers??
 
I noticed that there is not much for primers at Cabelas. Has there been a run on supplies in your area?

Just went to Cabelas & another local gun shop today, they both had plenty in stock.

Local Gander Mtn has dropped all reloading supplies... try a local gun shop or Midway, etc.

For anyone who was handloading thru the election years of both Obamanation and Bill Clinton should have figured out by now to keep stock of all components. If you do not you either dont pay attention or you look for new things to complain about. I have primers I bought when Obama was still trying to graduate third grade in some third world dirt floor school.

Sportsmens has them and the last gunshow I was at had then by the thousands.

I always order mine online anymore (Natchez.com)...as my Cabelas hasn't kept much on the shelf in the way of reloading supplies in years.

Not here in Il or Cabelas in Mo. My local gun show/ Law Enforcement reloader guy just got in 1M of all primers. I bought 20K to stock my supply up for he said it was getting harder to get and prices going up. I use a seal-a-meal to put mine away and then store them in 5 gal buckets with lids. Safe. dry and secure.

The very best place I have found to order primers and powder is Powder Valley, they will ship both under 1 Hazmat fee up to limit in pounds.

No shortage of primers here. i still have some types of primers left over from the Clinton era. These were bought just before the presidential order banning long life primers.:biggrin:

I still don't believe that one.. and I'm as right-wing conspiracy theory as they come..
the chemistry is wrong.. the primers would have to have a half-life.. meaning half of them wouldn't work after a period of time.. for them to all be dead at the end of the "life cycle"


didn't keep me from stocking up on them either..
$12./thousand in 1996 dollars vs. $24. per thou today...
