Like everyone else in the world I've been trying for months to get some primers. I got my rifle reloading gear over the summer and I've not been able to get ANY primers. None.
One of my inquiries was a weekly call to the local bass pro shops. Every week I call and ask for Large Rifle Magnum Primers and every week they tell me they don't have any.
So I'm up there yesterday to pick up some things and I ask about primers. He asks what I'm looking for and I tell him I'm looking for the impossible...Large Rifle Magnum Primers. He takes me down to where they keep the primers (behind the counter) and lays them all out in front of me...4 boxes total. He looks at them all good and hard and he says "nope...all we've got is mediums". Then he walks off.
I'm scratching my head now..."MEDIUM" rifle magnum primers...never heard of such. So I look at the box and he's got 400 Remington "9 1/2 M" Magnum Primers. He thought the "M" stood for medium. There is no telling how many times they had Remington "9 1/2 M" primers and they told me they didn't have large rifle magnum primers.
I guess it's funny now that I've got some primers. Reloaded two boxes of 7 mag...will get a chance to test them this weekend in between hunts.
