UncommonSense Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I just had 5000 Federal Small Pistol Primers #100 delivered yesterday. I got them from www.powdervalleyinc.com Looks like they are back out of stock now but I'd just look periodically. Seems that they are going in and out of stock on almost a daily basis. I had the same in my cart at Midway and they went out of stock before I could check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I was able to snag 20K off Everglades last night. Just keep looking. eventually you will find a stash. When you do, buy as much as your wallet will allow. This shortage is going to last a while. Im also located in Northern IL. Every local store who used to sell reloading components has either stopped or severely reduced their stocks over the years prior to the most recent panic buying. I suggest sticking to buying online in larger amounts. Powder Valley, Everglades, Grafs, MidSouth Shooters Supply, and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, folks tend to remember who was taking advantage of situations. $28.50 for HAZMAT plus $16+ for shipping is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hazmat and shipping was included in his "$89". Primers are listed at $43.95. 5 units left as of right now (Yes, still very high). https://lohmanarms.com/product/cci-small-pistol-primers-no-500/ Their hazmat fees are pretty standard for most supplies.

cjmill87 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Yes I knew that, went to the website and checked it out. Again if you gotta have it, you gotta pay it but I'm used to more reasonable HAZMAT and Shipping charges from companies like Brownells, Powder Valley, Grafs, etc. Even Midway only charges $12 for HAZMAT.

OptimiStick Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Agree, but when you're out, you're out. I was looking for a buddy who got caught a little flat-footed. Luckily I stock up at local gun shows and when some of the online retailers have a hazmat free deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJBriggs Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Powder Valley just had some. From the time I added them to my cart, until the time I tried to check out, they were already gone! Savage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost snagged some but the 5 box limit made the cost over $.04/ea. with shipping and hazmat. I would have jumped if I could have got 10. Maybe I'm being picky but I do have a couple boxes of CCI at the moment. Edited July 21, 2020 by Michael303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm being picky but I do have a couple boxes of CCI at the moment.I ended up buying 2000 locally for $50 a box because I was out. Trust me that hurt, I also picked up some 22 ammo to practice with. This shortage is beginning to suck and get expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have done it if I could have bought 10 boxes. I'm waiting on projectiles though so no rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hemmed and hawed at buying 5k Winchester SPPs from Powder Valley a few weeks ago since hazmat drove the price up and they didn't have any powder I wanted. Glad I did, though. 1k small pistol primers of any kind are going for $100+ on auction sites now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stick Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I would get on a waiting list at some of the reputable companies and wait for them to come in. Some of the prices I've seen some online auctions are downright disgusting. $100 for 1k primers. The problem is...someone is always willing to pay.

Well maybe not entirely accurate going forward since our stock is mostly imported from the USA. But for now most stores have stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 @MikeyScuba buy them while they’re around. It’s not like you wouldn’t use them eventually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 may be selling some Winchester large pistol, around 10k, How do I ship these ? I probably still have a heavy duty powder valley box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
