Primer availability ?

[Peakbagr]

Work and some surgery has kept me off the site for quite a while.
Do folks know if the pistol primer shortage has started to ease up yet?
I've been backordered on Federal large and small pistol primers for quite a while.

Thanks and its really nice to be back.

I am in Ohio and I have gotten a few hundred here and there, I even got 1,000 SP about a month ago at the Cabela's just north of me. Too bad there is not a pound of Power Pistol to be found anywhere around here. I am down to my last thousand or so 9mm rounds. Then again, it's not like I get out shooting much these days. Not much for LP around here either.

Primers are available just about everywhere again.

Some prices down around $25 if ya look and buy in qty

Welcome back :thumbsup:

Primer prices seem to be around $35/K here in the midwest, but one of my regular customers was hunting in PA a couple of weeks ago & said that most places that had primers were around $22-$25/K.
Things might be getting back to normal soon.

Me and some friends recently split 20,000 small pistol primers which cost $29/k shipped to the front door.

And a friend, who is visiting family in Minnesota, found 3,000 large rifle primers for me yesterday at $31/k out the door. The store had 15,000 large rifles on the shelf at the time.

Locally I can't find much. Usually it is the hundred count pack for about four bucks. And there is one local store that keeps them on the shelf for $45/k and up. And at that price I hope they stay on the shelf.

Macon, GA area folks: I just got back from Bass Pro and they have as many primers as I've seen there in a long time. Good mix of Winchester and Remington and I think some CCI, pretty much all sizes. The shelves aren't breaking with them, but anybody that needs 300-500 to top off the stash can get them. I think they were running $3.99/100, which ain't cheap but sometimes available is worth something extra.

Plenty of powder and a good selection, too.

I didn't get any this trip; I think I'm fixed up for a while....a K-22 I picked up a while back has got me cheating on the centerfires. :)

Been seeing Sportman's Warehouse restock quite a bit. They had about 20K primers on the shelf the other day for $29-$31/K. CCI, Remington and I think Magtech.

Filling back on on powder too.

Primers are spotty in the upper midwest (MN). Last buy I made was late fall in WI at a small out of the way sporting goods place way up north - SPPs for $29/k.

Generally appear to be recovering across the board.

Having a heck of a time finding H335 though........

Looks like the primers are loosening up. Anyone see any Federal small and large pistol primers though?
Thanks -

I have a source here that I use. Small local reloading business that caters to local shooters. Runs it out of his trunk. I think they run about $35/K. I've had a stash of L/S Winchesters and want to build up my large Federal stash. I bought 1K a week ago. I'll probably buy 1K per month for the next few months.
