partyboy424 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Yes. Ordered 3-4 months ago; received about a week ago. Really? I've had a back order in since January... Edited July 18, 2013 by partyboy424 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinerRider Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Damn four months for primers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fkimble Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Did you have more than one brand or type of primer on the order? I've had best luck by ordering only one brand and type on each order. Much better chance of them getting in one item than several at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 hmmmm ... just got off the phone with PV 2 mins ago and the woman said they had not received any Federal primers so far in 2013 ... I've had a BO with them for Fed 100s since 6 Jan ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but not good for the hazmat charge unless you buy a HUGE quantity of them. Edited July 23, 2013 by gandog56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I had 30K on order, but when they called to ask if I still wanted that order filled, I told them to send me 10K and pass the rest to the next in line. Maybe my order was older than I thought tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) We are doing this to ourselves to some extent. I keep seeing people trying to sell or trade primers that they have complained about not being able to get. After weeks and months of waiting, they finally receive 50K more than they "need" and try to offload the extra. If everyone would slow down with the silly buying, the vendors would catch up much faster. Edited July 23, 2013 by wgj3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to come across some good-hearted soul dumping some extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAZZ Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have had a order since the end of Dec. on Fed small pistol and nothing at all yet, smh..... 8 months!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Luckily I can use Winchester and CCI for training and save the 4,000 Fed 100s I do have for matches . I do agree that we are our own worst enemy at the moment because no one wants to get caught short again so people are buying much larger quantities then they normally would when they come across some ...

remoandiris Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I've had an order in with PV for 30K Fed SPP since Jan 5. Queried them on April 29 about the order. Yes, it is in the system. Guess I should have ordered 10K Fed, 10K Win, and 10K CCI instead of all Fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 OOPS!!! Got mine from Grafs, not PV. Please forgive me causing any angst. Actually placed orders in early Feb, received late June from GRAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 MidSouth Shooter has Tula SP at $23/K Thanks for the heads up. They only let me buy 5k but that is enough for a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmj3 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 MidSouth Shooter has Tula SP at $23/K Thanks for the heads up. They only let me buy 5k but that is enough for a few weeks Ditto. I needed more primers for range/practice ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimitz Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 unfortunately I can't use Tula. tried a pack of 100 and had 8 light strikes. That makes more sense WRT to PV ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdbreload Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) unfortunately I can't use Tula. tried a pack of 100 and had 8 light strikes. That makes more sense WRT to PV ...While not my first choice, I've had reasonable luck with Tula SPP. I have to be more careful when seating them, not as easy as CCI. But if seated right, they usually perform well. Out of my last 100 rounds, I had one light strike. I have 5K more on order from PV.

Nimitz Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 reloading them properly is not my issue. I have a lightened striker G34 that requires the use of the softest primers possible to ensure 100% reliability during a match ... unfortunately that means Fed 100s. I was hoping I could get away with Tulas for practice ammo but at 8 light strikes/100 that's not an option either ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ85Combat Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 I am finding some at local GS now & then, but still no order from Powder Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcracco Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Ordered 10K primers and 24# powder in December and just got the call they are shipping. Eight months plus. I'm not complaining as they are sending H335 which I was starting to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
