Sorry man, those are hard to come by even in Alabama. If I get lucky and find some, I could send a few your way.

LAST I GOT WAS FROM WWW.POWDERVALLEYINC.COM YOU HAVE TO GET ON A WAITING LIST. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 WEEKS BUT THAT WAS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO THAT I ORDERED. TI BEATS NOTHING.

I just checked Powder Valley's website. Now, they only have listings for percussion caps and shotshell primers. Read, no primers are on their website for order or even backorder!

Hey Marshall, email me your contact/shipping info, so if I get some extra, I'll send you a few. I travel a bunch and try to stake out local gun shops where ever I go. No telling what I might find.

I don't know when I'll see them but I have 10,000 on back order through Cabela's online. They were $29.99, plus a $20 Hazmat fee and tax. They would only ship them to my home though and I did pay shipping, but I had coupon for money off that cancelled that out.

Check out any gun store you come across.
Some of the smaller ones have surprisingly good stocks of reloading supplies.

All you want of any size are available on GunBroker auctions, under reloading/supplies/primers. You may not like the price, but thumbtacks won't work ! BT

I wouldn't buy a thing from GunBroker especially because of the prices. The crazy buyers are actually paying $65 to over $100 for a box of 1000 primers. No way in the world do I pay those prices. I would rather sit at home and not shoot than reward the people who bought out everything they could find with the intent of selling them for those prices.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against Capitalism or free trade. I'm just choosing not to participate in this exercise in lunacy...

While this does the OP little good, I've begun seeing more pistol primers, both large and small, magnum, match and regular, in a couple of local stores recently. And they aren't too awfully expensive.....relatively speaking. About $27 per thou for standards and mags, $35 for match. No rifle primers of any kind are available around here, however. Hopefully that'll get better one of these days.

I stopped into my local dealer on Saturday just to look around. He had some loose boxes of 100 primers in the glass case with the handguns. He had about 800 LP, SP and LR. He had a limit of 300 primers. I picked up 300 small pistol at $4 per 100. He had to pay retail for them and I had not problem paying the money. I didn't mind the limit either.

When I was there two weeks ago he had no hope of getting primers any time soon.
