Where can I look for primers?

[westernrover]

I wouldn't know. There are none in my state and I've never been there.

 

[Show Me]

Down in the city they have two bass pro, Cabela's, Scheels. Other than that one of the teamsters drives buy Graff and Sons once a week. Otherwise I use my stash.

I don’t know about other states but in Florida Dicks stopped carrying reloading supplies and handgun ammo after Parkland. Frankly, it would take a team of horses to drag my rotting corpse into a Dicks store.

Dicks had good sales back when. Now it's all snowflakes and sporty peoples stuff. I've had to help find certain color softball girls socks ect and it's uncomfortable in there.

Never thought I'd use so many large rifle but here I am. Primer numbers now dictate what project I'll be on. Must start using those 26 dollar S&B pistol primers.

Been saving my LRP for hunting loads only since 2019. Taking that approach I have enough to hold me til I can't hunt anymore. I still grab up any LRPs I see when come across.

45C and 45ACP - swapped to SPs.

Everything I shoot has been swapped to SP or was a SP cartridge to begin with or it doesn't get shot.

Oppression - SUXs

Nothing at any of the Academys here

I purchased 500 45 auto spp. brass so I could save the large ones for 45 colt and 44 mag. Like minded people are fun to cross paths with

Sportsman’s near me wants 13.99 for 100 spp. no thanks

 

[Bobaloo22]

Natchez has free hazmat today

 

[lightman]

I have bought from Midway, MidSouth, Powder Valley, Bruno Shooters, American Reloading, Brownells and probably a few others. All of these are legit!

Also check out Academy Sports, Bass Pro, any local Gun Shops, ect.

 

[ParallelCode]

Brownells, Midway USA, Natchez, Powder Valley, and Midsouth Shooter's Supply are all reputable sources for powder and primers.

Go to Cabelas..the primers are found next to the $60 dog food bowls and pink camouflage.

 

[SingleActionAndrew]

The best place to buy primers is at your local bullseye pistol league, NRA or CMP. I know some Grey beards with 80K+ stocked up and no one would sell to me for more than $40/brick when they were $118 shipped from Midway. And hopefully they get you into Bullseye shooting if you aren't already

At the nearest Pass Bro to me primers are kept behind the counter opposite the sign-in pad. You have to schedule an appointment to ask if they have any in stock.

I wonder why there’s more small than large available ? Weird

Either made more, sold less or both.

One could say there being used up in 308 nato and 7.62x39 munitions...

Guys the shipping is rediculous! Let’s say the primers 1000ct is 70 something— fine let’s go! Wait wait! The hazmat shipping is 40.00! I bet it’s going to be hard to find local. They GOTCHA comin and goin!

Order 5k from places like Bruno’s or Target Sports USA and they pay for shipping

 

[shoebox1.1]

I think for the last ~60 years they have used more 5.56 than any other caliber.

But in the third quarter of the 20th century we angled for our allies to standardize on the 30 in partnership with our friends in Belgium before we performed a bit of a realignment ourselves and Europe tooled up quite a bit for it, no? And here we are today closer to Britain's original proposal
