Primer Availabily

[Hatchdog]

Yesterday I saw CCI 400 small rifle primers for 7.99 at a local farm and feed store. Didn’t buy any as I’m good on SRP’s and still haven’t convinced myself that this is the new normal price……


My last two firearm purchases were at the urging of my wife. One my Henry 410 she bought me for my birthday and the other a Ruger AR15 in 300 BO that she encouraged my to buy before the state “assault rifle” ban became law. She’s such a pain in the …!

What happened to the 300 BO testing of that Speer TNT? Havent seen any range reports on the second go around with that bullet.

I have to drag my butt to the range and shoot. I have them all loaded up and ready to go but I’m staying busy with other stuff. Gotta change that!

I was at the local Coastal Farm Supply gun desk this morning. No primers, but got to talking about when some might be expected. Word is, toward the end of July primers are expected to be plentiful.

Got a couple emails today from Midwayusa about small pistol primers being in stock. Winchester. You could buy them for 99.99 a thousand. Thanks for letting me know you have them in stock Midway but at that price you can keep every one of them. I see them on Ammoseek from other suppliers for 62.99 a 1K.

Brownell's has small pistol magnum primers in-stock and available for $79.99 per thousand.
The Haz-Mat fees and shipping will bring that up, but delivered to your door makes it a decent deal.
Just got some myself.

I was out on errands today and dropped in on the local Sportsmans. They had a lot of primers. But no Large Rifle. They were also finally allowing sales by the brick.

Not too far from Mag's stomping grounds, the local BiMart store in Sandy, OR has quite a few Remington Small primers, in rifle and pistol. Didn't check the prices. No large rifle stuff there either.....

I went right by the Aloha BiMart and didn't even think to stop in!

Still sitting pretty good on primers. If availability improves and prices keep lowering, I may pick some up. Just don't need 'em at present.
Which reminds me; need to load up the .45 acp and .45 Colt I shot up a couple days ago.

Forgot to include that I did buy a brick of Federal Large Pistol GM150M. The $79.99 was not to my liking but is considerably better than the online pricing elsewhere $110 to $140 depending on the online vendor.

I did go by the Hillsboro BiMart and Coastal Farm this morning looking for Large Rifle primers. Neither store had any. Bimart had a few CCI Small Rifle, I did not ask the price.

It seems the BiMart stores of our area are sorta sketchy with regards to reloading stuff in general. Different stores have almost totally different inventories for reloading components and ammo. Had an eye doctor appointment in Gresham yesterday. The office is within walking range of a Coastal Farm and Ranch store and a BiMart store. Both stores have had reloading stuff in the past, but all I got was exercise......
