No Primers & No Powder

[Andy Griffith]

I had a buddy that went to the gun show in Jacksonville FL this past weekend.

He said there was plenty of primers in all varieties if you wanted to pay $39. per thousand.

Primers are hitting the shelves here in California. Large Pistol and Large Rifle magnum and standard seem to be most available. Small Pistol and Small Rifle are hit and miss, mostly miss. 209 primers were always on the shelf, dust at no extra charge.

Small pistol in VERY short supply in NC Indiana. When found, prices are high. Large pistol, large rifle, and small rifle available here and there for $30-$40/M. Small pistol magnums sometimes available. I don't want them, but people take them because there is nothing else.

$30/M for primers is ridiculous...

Blacksheep Sporting Goods in Coeur d'Alene, ID has both

They will ship. As of yesterday they had lots of Primers both Lg. and Sm. and plenty of most powders.
Give them a call, they will take your card over the phone.

Went to the show in Mesquite, Texas last weekend. Powder, primers, and loaded ammo are becoming available again in the East Texas area, but they're still trying to hold the prices way up. As example, they were asking over $20.00 for any of the lowest priced powders, and $42.00 per thousand of imported "Wolf" primers. I didn't see any buyers. The local Bass Pro Shop has even less reloading supplies and are charging $60.00 per thousand for primers, and the sky's the limit for their powder and loaded ammo.

My local shop is well stocked with Large Primers for both Pistol and Rifle. Haven't had any Small Primers of either type for more than a year now.

Plenty of powder, although one or two types may be in short supply, at least you can find something for any application you want.

Starting to see a few primers here in Denver, but at $42.00/1000, I'll wait until the prices go down. Glad I have a stash!

Why would it when the demand is that hot?
Also please remember, someone's been running the printing presses filled with green ink 24/7 for a solid year now! At some point that has to start having an effect? Pork, which has been dirt cheap due to producers slaughtering herds is now firming in price. Beef too, had it's floor retail price happen about 3 months ago, and has started it's creep upwards. That's the trouble with having a currency who's ink isn't dry due to the volume of it being printed.

I hear what you are saying, but this isn't inflationary.

Do not buy anything, we should all have a reloading strike!

I just got back from my local shop. They got in a shipment of primers yesterday. They are very well stocked now with everything except... Small Pistol Primers.
