Primers all kinds - Carter Country Pasadena, TX
Good stock of Federal and CCI - Large and small rifle, mag and regular. Good chance the other Houston area stores have the same since they are stocked from the same depot. Powder supply was still low but I was able to grab some R19.

Maybe the end of this madness is approaching....maybe...

I was in the Houston Katy Fwy store yesterday and there were no primers on the shelf. I asked and they said they had some but no Fed215's and they were selling the rest only 300 at a time.

That store did get in a shipment of Barnes bullets so I bought a box of 30 caliber 180 TTSX's. They did not have any IMR7828SSC, RL22 or RL19.

Still pretty thin.

My gun store up here in Nebraska got a shipment of primers in from Graf & Sons. My local guy thinks thinka are starting to loosen up a bit. I bought 1000 Federal match large rifle magnum primers. He had five or six thousand more. Hopefully, over the next two or three months, things will start go get back to normal.

David, the Pasadena store is about 45 mins or so from the Galleria. It's on Shaver tucked away a a rather obsure corner of Pasadena. My best advice would be to get their address off the net and run you fav map program.

The store on 59 is closer to you and much more on the beatan path at the intersection of Beltway 8 and 59.

Pasadena store gets deliveries on Tueday but often they are not unpacked until Wed. I'd call ahead to either store before heading out. Good luck.
