Primers ?

[gunsablazin]

I spoke wwith a friend of mine who works for Chattanooga Shooting Supplies. Primers are not to be found at this time and CCI has a 6-8 month back order on them. I have looked at several online vendors and have had no luck finding any primers. Does anyone know where to get them?

I'm looking too, but have not found any place that has them instock.

[Guest Mugster]

I looked around a little, you guys are right. Primers are scarce as hens teeth. I dunno what to tell you.

[Guest Galba]

Good luck. If you find them, you ought to PM those of us that have replied to this thread, and I'll do the same if I find them.

Bass Pro in Nashville had some Rem. small rifle last week, but I bought all they had.

Reloaders Bench in Mount Juliet has CCI Primers. They are limited the number of boxes you can purchase. I got me 4 boxes today.

I have 1,500 Winchester large pistol primers i purchased back around '90-'93 (was reloading 10mm). They have just been sitting in a closet. Should these still be good?

I have been thinking of getting back into reloading, but sounds like that won't help as much these days with the cost/supply issues I know reloading can be a fun hobby on it's own though..... I would most likely be reloading for 9mm, and would need small primers anyway.

Will probably be putting them up for sale/trade soon. Will post back here when i do. IF you guys think they will still be good after this long?

Midway sent me an email to tell me they had primers instock. By the time I got it and looked they were gone.

Powder Valley....Get on the backorder list and you'll get primers in about 6 weeks.

1000 CCI #350 LARGE PISTOL MAGNUM PRIMERS MAG : Supplies at GunBroker.com

5,000 Winchester Small Pistol Magnum WSPM NR! : Supplies at GunBroker.com

Just a couple of examples for you to look at.

$65 for 1000 primers. What a bargain.

[frankmako]

they are hard to find,,,i know i have looked. when you do find some they are priced high. the going rate is close to $40.00 plus tax a thousand. i will remember the stores that upped the prices just to make money during these times.

There don't appear to be any bargains out there.

They were stocking the shelves when I was in there on Saturday. Looked like they had plenty left.

Thats not bad compared to an auction I saw on Gunbroker that sold 1000 CCI primers for $125. Thats ridiculous!

I won't pay more than $30-40/1000

Haha, thats about what I was wanting to pay for my finished .223 ammo! I have a stockage that should last awhile, but geebus, things don't look so rosy.

So,who was it that said they had enough ammo and components if TSHTF.

Welllllll............I'm not exactly out just yet, but TS did HTF if you are looking for components!

[Guest Astra900]

So, has anyone noticed if Powder is equally hard to get???

Powder seems to be available at the Reloaders Bench. Primers are more difficult to find than powder right now. I ordered a set of pistol dies from Dillon a week again and just found out they are backordered.

[ftncityfatboy]

bas pro in sevierville has some several weeks ago, $7/100 = $70/1K, talk about bending over.....

[Guest 70below]

outdoorsportsdepot.com seems to have federal small pistol primers in stock for $158 per 5000

I'd chip in on a 1k or two if someone near Knoxville wanted to make an order but didn't need 'em all.

[Guest goomba]

benton shooters supply has primers. and powders... and ammo. you just gotta pay their price, which is not horrible.
