Primers are getting hard to find. I usually buy them at the gun show that comes here 2 or 3 times a year. Not sure when the next one will be. Looked at a couple sites the other day and no small pistol or rifle primers were in stock.

Well, if you weren’t in SAV, I could fix ya right up. I have plenty but I can’t ship them as I don’t have that license.

Midway has federal small pistol primers in stock.

The 2013 shortage, small pistol primers were unobtanium. When they started showing back up, then pistol powder dried up. Learned my lesson, I'm well stocked now. But I don't think it is as bad now as it was in 2013.
*Especially* small rifle primers. I'm thankful in that I'm pretty well set, but I've definitely noticed a distinct lack of such resources at stores.

Yeah I noticed he's a bit pricey but the primer prices don't look that bad. I'd rather pay more now than not be able to get them the closer we get to November. And if Biden wins forget it. Nothing will be available.That is the same guy that was selling 8 lb jugs of Bullseye for $320 during the last shortage.
Primers were cheap and plentiful six months ago.
Midway is limiting to 1k per order, so with hazmat the price is really getting bad. Hard to believe that the world has caught up to Bass Pro pricing.

Folks can read the writing on the wall and more of them are getting into reloading....
That’s a good thing.
I think the last SPPs I bought were $120/case, that was just a couple months ago. I think Remington.
Late last year I bought CCI14 and CCI34 for $20/k, oh those were the good old days.
Guess I’m done buying until after the election.

Ed's in Vass had a pretty good stock last week. All brands and sizes were $40k. Didn't see anything about a limit. Had a good stock of powder as well. He is usually pretty well stocked. Prices aren't bad especially when figure no shipping and hazmat. Of course you have to pay tax.
