I beleive that if people chill out a little there will be plenty for all.
Well, for just one exampleHow has any of this helped anyone find primers?
As a side note, Powder Valley currently has several types of Wolf primers in stock.
Guys like Colorado want to shoot too.gryffydd said:Then, knowing the situation all along, they ought to think more than a couple days in advance. You can't walk into a gun store, KNOWING there's a shortage of primers, and be genuinely surprised and upset to find none on the shelf.
If your local stores are dry, it's definitely time to hit the internet. I ordered 5k Federal SPP from Grafs the beginning of April, got them around the end of May. Midway gets them in stock fairly frequently. I ordered and received 5k WLPs from them 2 weeks ago. Powder valley still has Wolf primers in stock. That's not much, but that's just over the last couple of months, not the last 6. Part of what you have to do in a shortage like this is not be brand picky. Unless you've got light sprung revolvers hand you have to use Federal, or you're doing benchrest shooting, switching the primer in a load is not really a big deal. Re chrono it, adjust if needed and you're off.I've been checking my gun stores on a weekly basis for about the past 6 months, and I haven't been lucky enough to hit them at the right time! I really prefer to buy locally, but I have even considered buying online for these items (Powdervalley was dry for quite some time, as were many of the other sites).

it will really torque off JCisHe to know that I just took delivery of 95,000 Wolf primers- 80K small pistol and 15K large rifle.
