Magnum Primers

[Rare Breed]

Just wanted to share my experience. As everyone has, primers are hard to come by. I found a small little company within 23 miles of me that has primers in stock and I bought another 1,000 magnum primers to give a total of 2,000 which is all I should ever need. The company is Southern Munitions in Acworth GA. Look them up on their web site...they may have primers for those of you who are looking for them.

Unfortunately, looking just now they seem to be out of stock on large rifle magnum primers.

just found a small shop yesterday and he pulled out a box of a thousand and said he would sell me those for 45.00 per 100 because that is what he can get on GunBroker no thanks

I just found 500 large magnum primers Fedearl 215 for $150 on GB. I bought another 1,000. Yes high but I do not see them going lower

Just recently picked up a thousand large rifle magnum primers from Natchez Shooters supply. They're out there but you have to dig to find them!!

You know, folks like that dealer who take advantage of the shortage should all come down with terminal crotch rot.

You’re not being realistic with all due respect. Primers are the most hardest to find. To think they will come back to historical pricing is clearly unrealistic. When I see them, yes high, I buy so when I need to reload I have what I need. Stop complaining of hoarders. I am just realistic. When you think of an African hunt and that cost paying extra reloading cost is a small price to pay

Realistic? When I've just bought 1000 magnum LR primers for $160.00? At $45 a hundred that's robbery! And yes I'll complain about people like that because they are crooks taking advantage of a poor situation. Not stopping you from paying $45 a hundred. Have at it friend.

The only way that any reloading components will come down to reasonable levels is if there is a major change in the political leadership in the U.S. I hate to use the term leadership with regards to the current crop. I have seen this happen several times over the years and it has always corrected with the change but this time I have no confidence in that improving. It just feels different this time.

 

[Rare Breed]

That makes me feel like I got a deal today at $30 per hundred. Just wanted to pass this on. Everyone else on GB wanted $200 more for 1,000

Yes Sir, I agree. Powder prices have almost doubled and sure enough primer prices have gone WAY up! Point being if a person is willing to look close there are better prices out there than what you'll find on GB. Not easy but they are out there. I shoot year round. Not 10 or 12 rounds a year then declare 'ol Betsy is good to go. I love shooting and handloading and do plenty during the year. I feel prices may drop slightly in the future but will they return to the original level? probably not.

So Dak???

 

[Hyde Hunter]

So Dak??? called

no, a very little shop in Plankinton called Hare Trigger Outfitters, Sodak has a nice supply of CCI primers but no LRM average price is about 115.00 per 1000 and they do not ship

 

[SDPlinker]

Personally 115.00 is reasonable in this climate I believe. I have never been to Hare Trigger and now never will. I am about to make a run to Precision Reloading to put my name in the hat, been trying to hold out for Hungry Dog trailer at Cabelas. I will also drop By SoDak and see what they have.

Or a major change in the attitudes of paranoid hoarders.

 

[Ontario Hunter]

You guys have no reason to whine. Last summer just to get enough 30-06 ammo loaded for a trip to Africa, I was forced to buy large rifle primers from what I am certain was the only retailer in all of Canada that had them, Italian Sports in Vancouver. Federal Gold Medal grade. By the time two trays of 100 were at my door it was over $100 Canadian ... EACH. Now I too am searching for magnum primers as I'm building a 404 Jeffery. Lots of obstacles to completing that build but finding primers may prove to be the worst.

 

[SDPlinker]

The only way to stop hoarders is not pay the ridiculous prices. I personally will purchase factory loads before I submit to Gunbroker, just my opinion!

 

[Joker12]

Several years ago after one of these great shortages I decided that I would lay in enough components to hold me for a while. So far that is working as planned for me but I know that there are plenty of folks who got caught in this one. I particularly feel for newer hunters and shooters who can't get what they need and hope that they don't just give up. If this one ever simmers down lay in a supply of what you need!
