Went to a major store in Pennsylvania it was bare. I have been lucking out in the smaller stores. Picked up 4,000 primers last week near normal prices.
Anyone having luck?

No problem finding powder. Bullets can be had on line if you happen to be there at the right time. Primers are trickling back to stores. Was at Scheels in Omaha a few weeks back and saw a guy going to checkout with some , but none were left by the time I got to gun department. A friend was in Lincoln Scheels and asked about primers and was told that they were getting a few in, but sold out quickly.(no duh)

Powder is trickling in. Primers are very hard to find.

Stopped by Academy around 1030 today to snoop around. Ended up leaving with 100 9 mm rounds, 200 .40s and......1k CCI small pistol primers! Primers were a little higher than normal ($4.99/C vs regular $3.99/C), but I’m not complaining

zero, zip, nada here for primers, powder or cases I have found various powders pretty regularly around here, both in local hardware stores and Cabelas. One small store had a few primers for $8.99/ C and I lucked into primers at Academy. Cases are readily available on MeWe. I’ve had good transactions on Veteran Brass and Reloading Supply.

No primers or powders at BPS. Shotgun shells were available, but no pistol or rimfire ammo and only 2 boxes of 25 Nosler rifle ammo.

At a local chain store I just bought a brick of Federal LR GMM for $30, left some on the shelf because I was just topping off, LGS wants $7 per 100 when they have them.

Son and I picked up 1k CCI primers each, we got BR-4 and large pistol primers, which is probably where we were thinnest. Also got a pound of CFE223 and Superformance, but we are sitting pretty good on powder. CFE 223 was definately a weak spot so adding a pound is good. Primers were $24 for the large pistol and $34 I think for the BR-4. Not only is Sportsmans Warehouse not gouging, but they are keeping their sale price on the primers the lowest in the area.

I'm setting well on components, but it is nice to see that primers are getting to retail store shelves.

You paid 34 bucks for BR4, better say merry fugging Christmas as BR4 haven’t been under 55 bucks a brick in 5+ years.

All the primers are being used to load ammo by the makers.

Am loading up on lead bullets before they are deemed a "pollutant" and a threat to the pandemic.

Yep, very little in my reloading place. If something comes in, gone quickly.
