Your also writing off bass pro because sportsmans is now a Jonny Morris company. That basically leaves you turners in California and maybe an LGS.
They had 50BMG primers... go figure. They had a fair amount of bullets. Contrast that to my LGS, who hasn't had a can of powder on the shelf for 2 months... that
Primers factory late summ…….. I’m just going to keep it to myselfWell I just read an article from the NRA that stated all primers from Vista Outdoors (Federal, CCI , Remington Ammo) plus from Winchester are all going into
loaded ammo. My local gun shop that normally does $2 million plus a year in reloading supplies alone, told me they don't expect to see a primer until sometime in 2022.
The shop with the indoor range where I shoot pistol went to the trouble and expense to get primers. At $175/k for SP&LP CCI I can’t afford to buy any - and wouldn’t anyway when I found out how quick they were selling at that price. Let the people who need them that bad have them.Well, we have Ammo Bros, LAX Ammo, Turners, Sportsman’s Warehouse, and LGS. Oh, and I have a dedicated reloading store near me.
Midway, Midsouth and Natchez will ship to me as well.
It’s just no one has the almighty primers…yet.
they want reloaders to buy factory ammo. Don’t trust what they tell youIt's obvious that our ammo manufacturers and reloading component suppliers are not capable of supplying ammo and reloading components at this time. And to tell the truth I have reservations on their capability as a whole in the future. They are not capable of managing their business's well enough to meet the present demand. They won't belly up to the bar. I have read countless email excuses from them. They are the gun industries weakness.
But look at it this way: maybe those online sellers are trying to get Californians riled up so they’ll change the laws. Maybe it is their way of saying, “You don’t have to put up with this crap, so do something about it.” I don’t agree with that approach but it’s possible that’s what’s going on. I always try to put myself in the other guy’s shoes.
