Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire No powder or primers @ Cabela's ?

I learned the hard way that you don't have to wait your turn at the counter to simply ask a question. The line is strictly for purchasing a firearm.

Lots of each at the local BPS.

What a coincidence - I was at mine just Sunday. Aisle and a half of primers and powder, including 2 end caps. I didn't get any tho. Did score about 15,000 rounds of 22lr for a good price.

Cabela’s in Hamburg, PA has lots of powder (no RL’s, Varget or Retumbo) and very few primers (pistol and small rifle).

Cabelas/Basspro in Greenville SC has plenty of powder. H series, IMR, AA, Ramshot, they had a couple 8lb Retumbo jugs. No Alliant powder. No Large Rifle primers, only Small rifle. However, another small gun shop in the area had plenty of Alliant powder, RL 19, 15, 22, just to name a few. 70 dollars per lb

Charleston Wv Cabelas just recently moved all the powder and primers out to the aisle shelves. They had been behind the counter since that store opened. They have lots of both at the moment.

Don't forget Massengill and Summers Eve. Querying the girl behind the drug counter as to why they had those products behind the counter resulted in her answer of " Because the nxxxxx women keep stealing it".

Some years ago, Cabela's at one end of town had powder and primer on display out on the floor, while the Cabela"s at the other end of town had it hidden behind the counter and in the back room. I complained and was told the Fire Marshal for the county mandated they do it that way. Then I complained about waiting in line to ask for powder, and the rude dude showed me a list at the far end where you could look to see what's in stock. I guess then you would have to take a number to get someone to go get it. Eventually I learned Murdochs Farm Supply was a better source for reloading stuff.

BPS here keeps primers behind the counter. Powder is on the shelves. Not high jacking prices either. Somewhat normal.

My BPS does the same thing, powder out on the shelves, and primers behind the counter. You have to ask for the primers, but you don't have to take a number to do so. Just interrupt someone behind the counter and ask. They will grab what you want and hand it to you.

Local Cabelas has half aisle of pounder powder and most primer sizes (not all brands) on the shelf, I thought they were somewhat overpriced above the current market.

Stopped by a week or two ago - the shelf was pretty full, stopped again on Saturday - primers were down to 1/4 or less of what had been there.

Wait,

aren't they on the OCBL?

People still shop there???

Dundee, MI Cabela's has plenty. 'Cept magnum rifle primers.

Orange County Baseball League?

nxxxxx= norweegen? sorry, couldn,t resist

You're better than that

Over the Counter Ballistol Lubricant?

I think Ballistol isn't on the List yet.

Hint.

Okay, so L stands for list.

The two Cabelas down in the Twin Cities have powder and primers (even Remington large rifle the last time I was there). The one has both out on the shelf while the other keeps it behind the counter but towards the end. Last time I was there I wanted their only bottle of 8208 and when I asked, the clerk told me to walk around and grab it myself. I didn't like the price but it was enough to finish off my remaining 69 gr Matchkings.
