Magnum Primers

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

I totally disagree. I laid in 10,000+ primers when there was no shortage and still plenty on the shelves for anyone who wanted to buy them. Am I a hoarder? Perhaps. But I laid in reloading components when no one was going short. When things got tight, I went through my supplies and sold everything I didn’t need at pre-shortage prices. To each his own, but be cautious casting judgement.

@WAB
I got 100 federal magnum primers for 6 bucks to try in my Whelen with 748. A dismal failure I might ad, so they just sat in my drawer. @peter Who acquired a 404 and needed magnum primer when none were available. I gladly gave him the 90 odd I didn't use for free. Dang 6 bucks ain't gonna break me.

I went in today to see what primers I need, there was a brick of Federal small pistol magnums that had the price tag still attached. $36.99, I had to think for a second after shaking my head for several minutes, Have I really had those for that long? No, I have not! You can literally watch prices increase!!

The availability of primers is also problematic for us.
Allegedly, the production lines are needed for the Ukraine war.
Truth or fiction-the high prices are unfortunately a reality.
All reloading components are rare and expensive.
CCI 200 and CCI 250 and the like are very hard to come by.
I found what I was looking for on egun.
The well known dealers, even if they don't offer it on the net, often still have a few smaller stocks that are not worth the work of putting them on the net.
So I would try it once.
Its worth a call.

Thanks Bob…completely agree, outrageous!!! I am shooting weekly now so am using up primers quickly. I seem to always still find powder, brass and bullets. It’s just primers that are crazy to find anywhere

@Rare Breed
Before the shit hit the fan I laid up 6,000 LR primers and 6,000 SR primers.
In hind sight should have laid up 10 or 20 pounds of adi 2205/H110. That stuff if you can get it they are asking for up to 2,000 dollars for a 2# jug. Shotgun powder is the same price.

Scheels in DFW doesn’t have any large rifle magnum if anyone was wondering. I just want to be able to load up some 404 loads

Awesome job on primers!

Cabela's is showing CCI LRM primers in stock at the moment. I just ordered 1,000. Hopefully they actually have them. I did the ship to store to save the hazardous freight fee so I'll know if 5-8 days if they actually have them.
