View Full Version : Some Primer Availability Recently - Now POWDERS?!?

In the past week I managed to score a couple bricks of Small Pistol Magnum primers (WSPM from Midway and CCI 550 from Wideners) along with a couple bricks of Federal Lg Rifle Match (210M). Seems there is a trickle of primers becoming available for reloaders (finally!), the first indication was two weeks ago when Natchess got in some CCI550's - but their limit of 2 boxes of 1,000/day could not justify the HazMat fees. Even Midway would only allow one brick of 5,000 per customer, so the HazMat premium made purchase marginal. Now Wideners allows 5 bricks of 5,000 per customer, so if they have a couple primer types available to combine into a single shipment, the HazMat becomes less of an impediment.

Hoping the trickle of primers becomes a small steady stream - followed by increased availability of different powders. Buying Varget in 1 lb bottles at 1 lb prices is far from optimal.

I've been ordering everything through Powder Valley.. Just got Vitvourhi N320 (excellent powder), and am trying Tula primers for the first time..

Let me know if you wanna get together on ordering anything and we can split the HAZMAT fee....

Natchez Shooters Supply has CCI #500 Small Pistol Primers in stock and will allow you to order two boxes of 1,000 per day. Just placed my order for the two boxes. Sucks to have to go through the hazmat fee for only two boxes but I am critically low (especially now that Steel Challenge is running strong now at Pueblo West!)....
