I'm down to 6,000 or so but I know I'll need some here in the near future. Where's the best place to get them? Thanks.. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

I found 2k CCI 41s, that's it, for two days of scouring the net. Said the heck with it tonight and bought a mess of LRs as it looks like they're going extinct. Selfish and unhelpful to my fellow reloaders, but, damn it, I'll have some. Last edited by MtnBoomer; 07/05/20.

After Corona hit, powder dried up for a short bit, then small pistol and small rifle primers just went away.....

Previously he told me that in a shift with good production his line can make as many as 700,000 primers. Today i asked him [re this thread ] if Federal had downsized their production of primers............ He laughed and told me that Federal hasnt slowed down a bit. In fact, he said, primer production was about a month behind. Told me that apparently the COVID thing and these demonstrations/riots had speeded up reloading AND primer purchases. He sounded sincere.

That makes sense. I know there are tons of people buying firearms. I bought a rifle a couple weeks ago and i started out at 4000 on the list for background checks. It ended up taking 6 days before the background check cleared. People are panicking again, so they are buying more than they need and stickpiling it.

Go into Sportsman's Warehouse for instance and a lot of the Shelves look like the day after Christmas at least in the firearms dept...bullets, primers, powders, scopes, rifles at times... I pick up primers when I might go into BiMart for something else... just opened up a brick of CCI primers, the price on the box was $15.00.. guess I've had those for a while...
