Winchester primers?

[ipscgraz]

Has anybody else had a hard time gettting winchester primers? Seems like the supply has suddenly dried up. Anybody heard anything about reasons why?

It seems primers in general are getting hit and miss at best to obtain. Federal 215's are next to impossible to get with the other magum primers following close behind. I have asked several places for Federals and they say they won't have any till '09 at best. Apparently the war has consumed a good supply of the Federal, which used to be the most common, now the demand for the Winchesters and CCI's are starting to become apparent. Best advice is to buy way more than you need, and but them whenever you can get them.

Yeah, I'm driving about 35 miles tomorrow to pick up 10M various that I ordered last week; large/small/pistol/rifle, all different brands. It was just a little nicer when you got exactly what you wanted.
