Doc224/375where's the Pistol Primers ?
I was going to buy a couple of cartons and it seems nobody has them in stock , least wise all of my usual
sources don't . Are Some of you hording again ?.
Who knows in Idaho , Nevada , Texas or Arizona where they might be had reasonably ? .
I just want 5K each large an small . I also have friends who reside in those states who will becoming
out too a reunion next month . So any info is appreciated !!!.

I haven't found a shortage of pistol primers. But what I can't get are Fed. 210M primers.

craigsterI just checked Powder Valley, they ain't got squat in small pistol!
Just this morning UPS delivered a box to my office, I was kind of suprised when I opened it. Winchester LRM primers I ordered May 09.
I hope you don't have to wait that long!

larrysFor the price, just order them from MidSouth. I believe they have the CCI 500s at $26something per 1K.

Doc224/375I shall look into MidSouth Thanks Larry .
As for Sportsman's in Boise OUCH ! $36.00 per K CCi #300 #500 that was in person picked up and Federal was a
$1 less ?. Normally Powder Valley is my preference as they just filled a Massive order, I've had with them
for quite awhile( back order ) got nearly everything including Federal match but no Pistol primers .
An the kicker is I didn't go hog wild and order cases of cartons them, So wonder where there going too now ?.

sksshooterno shortage here in la. cabelas, basspro, and all the little guys have had them. i lucked up and a friend of mine was selling off some of his "excess" so i picked up a couple k small pistol winchesters for $25 and he threw in 1k small rifle for selling a couple of his items online for him.

jeffeossoanyone coming from texas? i was at the range the other night... except federal 215 and 210, they had hundreds of thousands of every thing else, including federal match pistol

375fanCouple of local stores here in central OH have plenty of rifle and pistol primers except fed 215m. Prices aren't bad $39/thousand except for Gander Mountain $50 per thousand.

Doc224/375Perhaps I should have made my posting a little clearer ; REASONABLY PRICED PRIMERS !.
$40-50 per K is RIDICULOUS if not CRIMINAL !!!.
Powder Valley has been filling my orders as quickly as they can , Federal CCi are some what short as is
Winchester at the moment . But $21.00 - 32.00 or LESS is the going rate . Other places are GOUGING !.
Some day some of you will learn the marking aspects of supply and demand price reduction inventory glut
equation !. HOPEFULLY SOON; because whenever anyone purchases for those Exorbitant prices you're simply
inviting higher and higher pricing !. It's just like taxes it never ceases because they'll always demand
more and more of your money ,so they can live higher on the DOLE !!!.

SnowwolfeDon't worry about the gougers. No one is buying them at those prices now since most stores are stocked well.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

sksshooteryep its amazing that these people are still trying to get the prices they were before. i went into a small local guys shop he had pretty much everything in stock but for 39/k for cci. cabelas was right down the street and had cci for 29/k i don't plan to patronize that guy anymore.
I couldn't get any 350's today, but they had all the Fed 215's I could dream of; pretty sweet.
In Alaska, if you're out rural; quite hard & expensive getting them from lower 48. Thank God Sportsmans has their shelves full of most the supplies that were non-existent last couple years. With the exception of 350's.
