Looking for a Source of Small Pistol Primers?

[Ranger353]

I think most people that reload are in the same boat as me, I am running short of small pistol primers and just cannot find a legitimate and/or reasonable source for them. Brownells, MidwayUSA, and all the rest of the normal sources are out and do not know when, or if they will ever get a shipment of reloading supplies. There are plenty of scammers out there that will "sell" you primers, but then never ship the items after payment is processed. It has not happened to me because I already was made aware of many of the scams, if the price sounds too good to be true, then it most likely is.

Someone out here in the group must know of someplace that has primers in stock at a reasonable price? Let's share the info please.

Rumor has it you can buy them locally at several big box stores.

Pretty sure you?re going to have to pay more than you used to regardless of where you get them.

I have been looking everywhere in the Springs, they are just sold out, and have been for months. Maybe I will take a drive up to the metro area and check around?

I heard an employee at Scheel's in Johnstown say the truck arrives Wed usually and the primers are gone that evening. Talk to employees at the big stores and see when the trucks come in. I was able to get a brick from sportsmans in Parker about a month ago, Federal Small Pistol Magnum Match at $50.

Thanks. We have a new Scheels here in the Springs, I'll stop by tomorrow and talk to the folks. I'll update the forum with what I find out.

Get your primers before you tell the internet.

Ouch. Last time I was buying in bulk, it was about $65/5000.

When I have seen them in the stores the past month, it was $60-70 per thousand
