Frustrated finding primers

[highfinblue]

Shootingbot has definitely worked for me. Scheels just opened a store in Tulsa about 60 miles south of me. I went there a couple of days ago and they are fully stocked with all primers. Have no idea how that kind of thing happens, but they've been fully stocked since the doors opened in October. Maybe that's why no one can find primers. $109 for GM210M, and $119 for GM215M's. They also had every other brand, size, style, it was odd looking at their shelves lol.

Yea, I think I'm going to have to set up my online account with my cell phone. Another hurdle I got to get over at work is that they censor what sort of websites we may visit. Even if it is on our personal cell phone. I'm sure that you can guess that we can not visit anything related to firearms. There is a work-a-around though by logging off of the company's wi-fi and connecting via cellular service which in my area is slow. I usually only have one bar at work.

I work for the government, so each time I visit a non-.mil site, the DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency) icon pops up, indicating that I am being monitored. Even though it allows me to access the site, I do not perform unauthorized or monitored transactions. Some folks in my squadron say that the window area in my office has one of the best cell phone reception in my building.

Do you ever make it to the SW side of PA?

Primers are popping up more lately around here. As others have offered, if you do travel this way, I could get a brick for you.

Turn your wifi off when you need to get to those sites.

Grafs almost always has primers somehow. I've had decent success at Academy or Bass Pro though they might limit you to a sleeve.

The last time (maybe 3 months ago) i was at academy (Amarillo) they didn't restrict the amount you could buy. iirc the only large rifle primers in stock were 250's. No place on the shelf for (or stickered for) any Fed's. Might need to check lubbock. Must be a carry out only as while there i checked Amarillo's site and didn't list any lrp's.

I bought a 1000 CCI 200s the other day for $80.

Edit: Point being, they're around, but you have to shop hard.

Unbelievsble that a brick that cost $29 is now $80. That is way more than inflation.

Natchez Shooters Supply has Remington large rifle & large rifle mag primers for $89.99 & $99.99

Last year I was in my LGS, they had CCI 200's $16 per 100 and I saw one guy buy 1000. I'll order online before I set foot in their door again.

I was getting very worried about running out of 215's and was switching some to 250's but recently a sponsor on here posted them for Black Friday and I bought more than I'll ever use I hope. Sick of chasing stuff I need.

Just wish I wouldn't have gave away over 20 lbs of my rl26 to others in need. Now I'm down to 8lbs of that. Ugh

Friends in need will bleed you dry. I know this to be a fact. Especially when you're the only source of primers. Happened during covid and Obama.

Been looking for Remington Large Rifle Mag primers for 4 years. I'm very particular about the components I use for my elk rifle.(Maybe too particular) Had a guy that gave me a couple hundred of them to get by. Wandered into Scheel's the other day as I do when I have a couple of extra minutes. They had 1,000 for $100. Bought them all.

Just venting. Twice, I got email messages from Midway informing me that they had Federal Gold Medal large rifle primers available. Both times, I was at work when I received the email. By the time I get home and go to purchase them, they are sold out already. This time, it was only a half day. What are you supposed to do?

Grice's in Clearfield Pa has Remington 9 1/2 and 9 1/2M primers now. You are about 1.5 hours from there. I would call them first to make sure they still have them. I picked up 4 bricks while up there for PA deer season. They seem to get them in regularly. I realize you want federals, but Remington's are high quality and consistent. I switched over from CCI200 in four calibers, only the .270win required a scope adjustment. No discernible difference in impact point except for the .270 which was 1moa high from the CCI's.

Don't let your frustration hook you on a scam website.

If you can't pay with your protected credit card it's a scam site.

One of the reasons I got was the war in Ukraine.

Not sure what they have in their brick and mortar store but I've had some really good experiences buying from DeLeon Pharmacy. Usually the prices are as good as you can find anywhere.
