Well, to state the obvious, everyone here is also looking for primers. Assuming they find some, what do you think the chances are they're going to pass on the opportunity and offer them to someone who just made your first post here? I'd guess the odds are pretty much zero. On a positive note, at the rate you're going your post count should enable you to try a WTB ad in the classifieds pretty soon.

mpmo Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 2 things I try to remember to do when I'm looking for help on these forums. 1.I will look at the first two pages of the relevant forums (in this case The Classifieds, General Reloading and 9mm Reloading) and see if there are any real recent posts that might be helpful. 2.I will use the search feature at the top to search.

Miranda Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Hi Carole, you are not 'doing wrong.' In the hobby of reloading and over the past 20 years there have been three sharp primer shortages. this being the third for me. primers are hard to find right now. mailing/shipping/sending primers is difficult because the common carriers want extra money and people they trust to properly package them. The material in the primers is not considered something you can move to a different kind of primer. All that is to state prices for primers are up and they are hard to trade. If you can find a trade you end up doing face to face. I'd bet that after the last few shortages, most here may have enough primers to get them through the next shooting season, and are hoping they can get more after that. so they do not feel they can afford to sell. Right now, if you do not have components to reload, Primers will be difficult to get for the next year. miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdude Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Carole, these are difficult times to find primers. Small pistol primers appear to be the most desired, if the posts on forums are to be used as a measuring stick. Our best advice is to watch frequently for them at local stores and every place that sells them on the internet. Sign up at those internet stores that allow you to be notified when they have some in stock, and act VERY quickly when you get notified because they will sell out VERY fast. Good luck.

RangerTrace Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 One of my friends recently retired from executive management at ATT and decided to get into reloading. We found him a like new, Dillon 750 locally and he's slowly putting components together. He actually won a GB auction and paid .30 a piece for primers.

RangerTrace Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I will likely load my last 1500 today. But, that will give me about 4K in loaded practice ammo and 4k match loads. Should be enough to get me through to summer 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawgbeav Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 i've been getting CCI #400's at an LGS, but they only allow 200 primers/person/month... I'm trying to get my family to go in and buy more for me. Also considering changing masks, wearing a hat and trying to find a different sales guy that won't recognize me and using a different name and address since they require that info at check out.

jejb Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) If you have a local Bass Pro or Cabela's, you may want to give them a call and see how they're doing their ammo sales. Every store seems to do it a little differently. At my local one, they put a sign out front every morning saying if they got an ammo shipment or not. If they did, folks start lining up early. They hand you a number while you're in line and the ammo sales counter process in order. I got in line about 15 minutes before they opened today and scored 2K of CCI #500 SP primers at $36.99 per 1000. Limit is 1000 per customer per day, so the wife and I both got a box. They had a bunch of Federal primers and a lot of loaded ammo, too. Limit of 5 boxes of any ammo, mix or match. 8 boxes if you're a BP or Cabela's Visa card holder, or what they call a "club member". Hope you're able to find some. Edited February 17, 2021 by jejb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEH Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I was just in bass pro, and they don’t even have a reloading section anymore, had 8 boxes of shotgun shells on rolling cart. That’s all I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
