Are you fellow Canadians having a hard time getting primers?Or is it just us Saskatchewanites.Or possibly just me.I ran out of magnum primers last spring,now I just have a couple hundred standard primers.I.ve been getting it done with the 06 but wouldn't mind doing some load development with the 7mm mag.Every time I visit the gun shop they are always out.It's getting annoying.

And the price is going up badly if they ARE available.

You need to get out more. I was at the Swift Current gun show last week. Every component dealer there had stacks of LR MAG primers even some Fed 215's

My inventory is lower than normal,but I still have 3000 federal 210s,and 3000 Federal 205Ms.I usually keep my inventory at around 5000 of each just in case there are shortages.

There did not seem to be any shortages of any reloading components.

I bought a bunch last year at highway robbery prices. It hurt at the time, but I've forgotten the price and am well stocked for the foreseeable future.
I'm seeing a few more start to show up on shelves in BC.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

I'm still stocked up primer-wise from the Clinton era shortage. This current shortage seems alot worse. Currently stocking up on brass and bullets.

Gatehouse;
At the Penticton show last weekend one table had pretty much every flavor of Federal including some match for $40/1000.
Another table had either Winchester or CCI Large Rifle for $35/1000.
Have a good weekend Gatehouse!
Regards,
Dwayne
