No small rifle primers left anywhere - any brand.
Small pistol, just a few hundred.
Large rifle and pistol, still a few boxes of 1000 left if you really look.
Magnum stuff still available.

Is this just a regional thing, or are you guys stocked out too?

This hobby is really starting to suck.

I ordered 5k of wolf from Wideners early this week.  Are they already all out too?  It looked like they had a good inventory.

This shit happens every few years.  Gun owners are generally not the brightest group of folks.  It's IRONIC that you always see gun owners calling other people SHEEP!!

I got tired of primers being gone and the price always going up, so after the primer shortage of 1995 (?) I vowed to never be short on primers again and acted accordingly

I happen to live within 25 miles of Graf's retail store and they had plenty of primers on the shelf.

the store buy us will only sell 2k at a time to each customer so everyone gets some... time to go buy another 2k.  All they have now is remington and federal.

Yep.  Believe it or not, we're still not nearly as bad off as things were in 1994-1996.

My local range is also the local reloading store, they stock everything for reloading.   They have tons of primers in stock, and the owner told me that the last primer shortage, he ALWAYS had primers in stock.

I think it's the big box retail stores that have supply issues vs the speciality shops..

I ordered them quite a while ago. I'd completely forgotten about the order when I got an email from them last Thursday telling me the primers were shipped. UPS tracking says they'll be here on the 26th.

I'll never pay that for Wolf primers.  I'll just get CCI for the same price locally.

Unfortunetly my area is dry right now. I called all the local places I know of. I'll pay the extra $8 for every thousand rounds. Small potatoes in the grand scheme. I ordered 10k. Should last me quite a while.

I was just a few minutes late at Bass Pro, some dude bought every CCI primer they had and all the IMR4064 they
just got in.

It's getting hard to find single stage presses and brass.

It's nuts!

Natchez has CCI small rifle primers in stock - I just ordered 15k of them...




I suppose it's get'em while you can....

I go up the street, litteraly. Sure I bought the last 1000 SR CCI primers, but there were plenty of other brands to choose from. I grabbed the last 8# IMR4064 they had and a few H335. I just found a company that will re-load your brass at a very good price. I received some .44-40 from them today. 1000 round lots. You can use your brass, get a brass credit, go w/ used brass w/ no turn in or get new brass. $335.00 per 1000 55gr FMJ .223. PM me for details. BTW, They love group buys.

I can't order from them because of their asinine policy of not shipping to GA.  Bunch of freaking idiots...

I had an order of CCI large rifle primers on back order at Midsouth and happened to lookup the order to see if there was an update avalible. There was they were substituting Remington Large rifle primers for the CCI. I quickly submitted my order and the quanity was listed as low. I then checked the web sight after my order and they were out of stock. I did confirm my order was shipped out. Any way I have a 1000 primers coming. That should hold me for awhile.

OK...time to hit the "panick" button !  I'm down to 5200 small rifle primers. Hope everyone else is well-stocked so I can get more.
