Who say's they can't find primers?

[JOJOPINTO]

It took a bit of digging and allot of phone calls but we finally had some success in finding all the primers we need for a few days...

We did clean him out though, so now the hunt is on for the next batch, we have been finding it takes 6 months to make a good score, how about the rest of you guys are you having any luck?

It'll be a lot of fun getting rid of those.

I've got about 15,000 still, maybe a little more...Should last for a while.

I haven't had a problem finding primers, I've had a problem finding primers that are reasonably priced

 

[JOJOPINTO]

They were not to bad this time @ 32.90 per 1000.....

I have paid more, thats for sure.....

Maybe that's why there hard to find, because guys like you find them at one place, then clean them out,
Do you need 45,000 primers at a time, You must shoot alot.

Ditto - thats why other people had problems finding even 5k of primers.

yep JOJO, it's all because of selfish hoarders like you that a primer problem exists.

They're not all his. There were 3 of us that went in on that deal.
And yes, we do shoot a lot.

 

[Cocked&Locked]

good price, and yeah, been having a hell of a time finding them. I'd have been happy with ONE of those boxes right now

Technically, the more people buy, the cheaper they should become. Praise be to the hoarders!

 

[Don Doucette]

My LGS rations them out 200 at a time bit of a pain but I don't shoot a lot right now so it doesn't bug me that much but it will soon!

I have to ask, open question, when primers come in boxes of 1000, why do we feel the need to buy (in this case) 45000 at a time? I'm as guilty as anyone, I have 10 primers stocked up for every one I've reloaded. Oh well...now I need the bullets and powder.

I think the "Great Primer Shortage of '09" is coming to an end.

I do not know about pistol primers, but rifle primers have been easy to find around here, and the prices never went nutty like out West either. Last primers I bought a couple months back were $27.83 for CCI and $34.45 for Winney's

 

[tootall]

I dont have a hard time finding primers, I have a hard time finding time to load them, then to use them!



BTW, that price that JOJO quoted.

They were not to bad this time @ 32.90 per 1000.....

I have paid more, thats for sure.....

IIRC, I paid US $11 per 1000, or $55 per flat for mine at a gun show in WA state about 12 years ago, and still have a few thousand!

Well I for one found the pic of your primer hoard amusing.

Thanks for the entertainment.
