CalTeacher Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 So maybe I'm just out of the loop, but where did they all go? These were my go to small pistol primers but they're nowhere to be found. My stockpile of them is down to about 25k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 They fell victim to trade embargo with Russia. There haven't been any in maybe a year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I guess that'll just increase the price of the "other" primers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I remember my first primer order from PV. They were $19. Ugh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A4ME Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I've been buying them at local gunshows (5,000 small pistol about 2 months back). Maybe I should be buying more. Oh, I think they were $24 per thousand. I started to only buy 4 boxes but the guy had 5 sitting on the table so I bought them all. Good for all the small primer .45 acp brass I bought this spring and the rest for my .40 S&W and 9Mm reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdinga Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Last summer Midsouth offered free haz matt and shipping on primers with orders over 5k. I jumped on the boat and ordered 20k Federal Primers. Theses days i just wait unto CCI primers are in stock and try to include powder and everything all at one time to maximize savings. The vendors I prefer are starting to slow down and the subtle increase in demand has started. Bet in the next month....the tempo of nervous buyers will start to change ordering habits. Good luck in your quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck in your quest. Yeah, I remember with admittedly some humor the guys who went back to golf or whatever when they couldn't get components. Plenty of warning this time just in case but some won't learn. Hopefully we won't have to worry about it but even if it's not advisable I have direct access to about 7 years worth of powder and primers at current usage rates. Now to focus on bullets!
