So, thanks to a world gone bonkers, I cannot find any small rifle primers anywhere. Not online, not locally here in the Phoenix, AZ area. No CCI, no Remington, no Federal, No Winchester. Nothing.
Anyone know any place that I can pick up a box of 1,000? Heck, I would settle for a couple hundred.

My LGS had a few thousand a couple of days ago (CCI and Federal I think). I'll probably go back there today sometime so I can check for you if you want. I'm in north Georgia but I could ship them to you.

My local gunsmith/dealer had some WW Small Rifle primers a few days ago. But,, cost of them, added with the HazMat fees make shipping expensive.

Aren't they ORM?
You can ship ammo. Just not by USPS or by air. Has to go ground.
I could be wrong but now I'm curious.

I found some! Got a recommendation for Bruno's Reloading Supply yesterday. I called and they had the Federal 205 Match. They only sold them by the 1,000 count bricks, and max of 2 bricks per customer. I went there this morning as its quite a ways from me and I was going to be in the general area. Well, there were two bricks left on the shelf so I grabbed both. I should be good for some tine, and hopefully sanity will be restored by the tine I run out. Thanks for all the help guys.

Glad you found some ! I would be using those for " proven " loads only until the hoarding stops.
I loathe friggin' hoarders.

Assembled ammo is ORM-D. That's right. and I see all these guys, individual peeps, on GB selling primers for a flat rate shipping fee of $25. The carriers won't take them if they know what they're doing and disguising them as something else could turn out to be a huge problem. Wow at the prices. One of the worst was $250 current bid for 5,000 TULA SR primers. Glad I started stocking up when Clinton was in office... $13.75/1,000. |
