evil dogooder Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 As my wife has started to seriously shoot more, I'm finding i need more supplies. Currently i buy primers at my local ffl but it's $39-$45 a 1000 and the most he ever has is one or two boxes. That lasts less than a month. Unless i want Winchester, but I've had so many problems with them lately i prefer not to use them. Is there a good dependable place where you can order in bulk? Say 5 to 10000 primers at a time?

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I bought my last 10,000 from Cabelas on sale with free shipping. I also have bought from Natchez and Midsouth. Shop around. Availability and prices change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I buy 10k of Sellier and Bellot primers from Graf and Sons and I believe they are about $21.00 per 1k before hazmat. I've never had a S&B primer not go bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy the Avenger Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Midway if you get free shipping One order of 15,000 is only one hazmat fee The same as 1,000 or 5,000 So get 15000 and split with your buddy's They have federal too Billy the Avenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Working an 80 hour week! How do you have time to load? Or go to a match? I get 1 or 2 thousand at a time at MidwayUSA. But I can place order and drive over and pick them up. I have bought primers from Grafs but it seems MidwayUSA has had the better price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventura Slim, SASS #35690 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I do not always buy primers, but when I do, I press Federals and I buy in bulk 20k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Working an 80 hour week! How do you have time to load? Or go to a match? Very carefully lol i generally do a double shift Friday so i can shoot Saturday. Which lately has been 6am to 6am then drive to the shoot. Loading is done late at night after the kids are in bed or before work in the morning. I really need to get a progressive press! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 I do not always buy primers, but when I do, I press Federals and I buy in bulk 20k. the wife and i have been talking about doing this. Then i would only need to buy once or twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Deck 100366 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'm learning to really love those S&B primers, they load easy, go bang every time, and I like how compact the cards are that they come in. As +1 to the post above, I'm have quite satisfactory results with ETR7. 8-16lb of poweder and 15K of primers makes for a good order to spread that hazmat around.

Sedalia Dave Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I buy from Local CAS vendors and my local mom and pop stores every chance I get. The level of service I get is worth way more than any savings I might get from a big retail chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I try to buy local also but for some strange reason S&B primers are not available locally and rarely are other makes. I buy my powder locally but primers are very hard to come by at the local gun shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40Chev Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Evil Your pm box is full Federals available at a couple places here locally if you need some I figured when your wife got that buckle life would not be easy for you from there on out. What are you gonna do when the kids start shooting - buy a gun store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you gonna do when the kids start shooting - buy a gun store? Cleaned it out. Thanks. It only took a year to talk her into switching to reliable, but not so pretty guns. Once that happened the switch flipped and game on. The hook is set deep. She hadn't competed in anything since college, so this was like an electric charge She's burned more ammo this year than i have in the last two. The kids already have a rifle. Thinking i may have to buy the gun store to afford 4 shooters lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
