Are CCI small rifle primers still available in the plastic strips that used an RCBS hand priming tool designed for them?

Trying to find primers is a job in itself. Let alone in the plastic strips. I have not seen any anyplace. Good luck. Majority of our gun club are shooting .22 lr because small pistol primers are so hard to find.

I bought some in 2020 before PH Brass and Bullets burned in Johnson City, TN. I have the loaded as well. Beats the hell out of the squeezer.

If you have the primers… I have a bunch of the plastic strips! A long while back, that was all my Buddy’s LGS had for small pistol primers. So he bought them and popped the primers out of the strips to use in my hand primer so we could load him some ammo. (I know this wasn’t ideal..but it was during one of those times where primers where very few and definitely far between, so we made it work.)
I don’t know if they could be loaded up again, but I don’t see why they couldn’t!

A friend gave me a bunch of the strips loaded with small rifle primers and loaned me the hand primer tool to use with them. Appears to be a well designed tool easy to use.

Because of the arthritis in my hands I don't use the APS hand tool or the regular priming tool. I use the bench tool anymore. When I did use it, I loaded stripes 5 or 6 times with no problems and still own them.

It's not quite as convenient as the RCBS and Lee hand priming units, but it is much less strain on old aching hands.

Primers are non existent down here. I don’t even look when I go to the store. Don’t need any, may never need any, so I don’t want to tempt myself to be one of those Boomer-Hoarders. It’s a natural urge to glom onto stuff you might need; reflects my depression-era parentage, I think. When I was still working, any little odd bits of hardware; nuts, bolts washers, tie-wraps etc I encountered went in my pocket for “someday”. That stuff has saved my bacon a number of times.

I see primers here, but prices are all over the place. Scheels had some rem 7.5's a while back for $75/1000. Another shop had cci 450's for $85, br4's for $135. The local shop has them for $200/1000. I told them their prices are way too high yesterday. The guy behind the counter agreed. Thankfully I don't have to buy any for a while

seeing that stack of primers on the shelf just makes me wonder how it is that one area in the country is loaded and other areas, like around here, if you find any primers on the shelf they limit you to two trays of 100, at about that same price.
Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

They had Rem 7 1/2's for $75/brick a couple months ago. 5,000 primer limit. There's another place that has them for less money. Just posting the pic because Scheels had quite a bit and people are saying they can't find any.
