I hadn't noticed the sign directing seekers of primers to the knife counter before but the last several times I've been there I've simply picked up my online orders from that counter and left without browsing after checking in at the online orders counter.Those look like the same ones that were there yesterday too. I guess they aren’t moving that fast now.
I just got back from the Bass Pro Shop in San Antonio, here's what the powder and primers section looks like.

It's actually the largest vareity of powder I've seen in stock there since I started my path with reloading earlier this year.
The sign about asking about primers is a good inside joke as I've only once seen an actual store employee be present at the knife counter was a while ago when I chased down an employee showing him their website showed primers in stock but unavailable to purchase online for store pickup and invisible on the primer rea shelf stickers. Since he realized that I wasn't going to go away with his explanation "That's an error at Corporate, it has nothing to do with store staff." He fished up a set of keys and opened some cabinet drawers in the wall behind the knife counter where lay only empty husks of 1K packages that had once housed 100 packs of primers. True to form, there was no store employee at, or even near, the knife counter today when I was there. I picked up my most recent online order from the counter for that and left.
Well you know where to go to find it in stock on the shelf, it's not something I'm personally interested in so you'll have no competition from me for it. I'm just shy of declaring myself "comfortable" WRT primers and powders.700X is good for 38 Special wadcutter loads
I wish more companys would do something similar, so everyone gets something and the hoard and sell at max price people get it in the shorts.WE have a store locally that always has powder and other components except primers of course. But they get a shipment every week of most of them. One box of 1K per person. They last about half the day! They get them on the same day the owner told me. But they put them out on different days and tell no one when they are going to put them out so that no one can be out waiting in line before they open to grab them. Pretty ingenious if you ask me to make sure that as many customers as possible get a chance at some! I've got 3K SPP primers from them by just stopping by in the last 3-4 months and lucked out!

I saw those, they are brass jacketed.RMR has, ATM,116998 projectiles IN STOCK as of 10-15-2020 at 12:57 central time
9mm 124 Gr. Full Metal Jacked Round Nose Bullets
These must be from a different manufacturer, rather than made by RMR based on the backlog of orders RMR currently has. I looked back to see if anyone had posted this in the thread but didn't find one. If I missed it and someone listed this already, I am sorry for the repetitive post.
