Primer stocks getting thin...

Kirkster · Mar 19, 2020

I ordered 4000 small pistol primers from PowderValley last week before the WuFlu silliness took off.

Looked today and lots of primers are now out of stock. Large Pistol seems to be out of stock and only Remington and Federal left on small primers.

You may want to hit them up if you are running low.

My 3400 bullets from DGbullets just showed up yesterday and the primers show up today so I will be rolling on the 650 to keep my stock up as I shoot it at the range (at least till they close it too). I figure 5K in loaded 9mm should be enough to last me a few months.

I'm in the process of downsize/move and giving up the reloading game. I can help, if you're interested. PM and we can talk and meet up very soon, save the shipping and hazmat fee.

Clyde's in Lansdowne has several bricks of all size CCI primers in stock.

I had a heck of a time finding CCI450 this week. Fortunately, Shamrock was able to grab me a brick during his travels.

Last summer there were deep rebates on primers.
How quickly things change.

Components always follow right behind ammo in availability shortages.

Looked at Powder Valley yesterday just to get a feel for where things are. Powder is getting hit hard also.

Better get any needs now. It'll almost certainly get harder to find product before it gets easier.

Brownells had plenty. Ordered another batch of TG and SPPs. Figure that brass and bullets is usually not that hard to find.

I tried finding 7.62 NATO bullets and they're all sold out.

I am glad I decided to order some powder and primers when powder valley had their last free hazmat deal. I didn't really need it but had the money at the time.

I do wish I had ordered more bullets though.

I'd be willing to trade some CCI BR2s for some BR4s if anyone wants to swap. 2k of them

I might be able to help. If I have them, happy to trade...

I have 700 Federal 155 (large pistol magnum primers) I would like to trade away.

Wait a month and then there will be plenty of stuff for sale once the quarantine is gone.

Just my luck.my primer order with Bass Pro was backordered. No big deal as I don't need it but wanted to restock. Got notified today that it has been shipped to the store and is ready for pick up. Except the store is not essential and is closed till further notice.

I'm just beginning to run through the stock of powder i laid in to weather the LAST shortage Grrrrrr

In early February I had this weird feeling and ordered nearly $1,000 in primers. This is way more then I ever buy. I feel good about that, but I have almost no powder, so it's almost worthless.

You might be able to strike a trade with somebody.

I'd trade powder for some CCI #41's.

I had a strange feeling and for no particular reason bought 4 bricks of 22LR.

I think Charmin toilet paper is going to become the new ".22" :innocent0
