Chert Rock Chuck Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 So I heard yesterday from a friend of a friend at Federal, that a considerable amount of primers were released last week, and more were on the way.Supposed to be coming available in retail locations again at a measured pace very soon. Having just purchased another press, I’m a bit anxious to get my hands on some smalls. My local guy actually still has 2600 CCI large magnum pistol in stock if you can believe that. Has anyone else caught wind of this yet?
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 I don't think you'll see normal availability and price until sometime next year, and maybe not even then, depending on the results of the election.

I agree. To date, my regular suppliers are seeing some sparse fulfillment of their backorders. It's been enough for them to keep their regular customers shooting, but they've been turning away new business to do so.
Assassin Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 After going through the same shortage on several occasions primers come back very slowly. When they reach the shelves they are snatched up like candy at Halloween. Stock up when they become available or you won't be shooting much.
Deadwood Miner, SASS # 45575 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Earlier this week I went to see my MD for annual check up who is also a reloader and shooter. He mentioned the local reloading shop had Federal SP primers all along at $80.00 a thousand. Who is crazy enough tp pay that?

Michigan Slim Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 A GOOD friend found 10,000 Winchester SPP s and bought 8000 for me. They were 39.00/1000 but I got them! I need to send him a bottle.

Go look on Gunbroker...going rate of stuff that has actually sold was about $150 for a 1000 primer carton last week. That is just nuts.

If you're quick, you can get in on bidding or buy now for $300.
Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 I bought 3k of Federal sp last week at Sportsmans Warehouse for $23.95/k. They had them at opening on Monday , the rest were gone by noon. Imis Maybe if I had paid more I could guarantee a higher finish in the matches

I signed up with several on-line stores, for them to notify me when stocks are in. They go fast and usually there is a cap on how many you can buy. When you get the notification, jump right away, because they won't last long. Received 10K Federal Magnum SPP Monday. Standard pre-panic pricing, plus shipping and Hazmat. I'd prefer to buy from my LGS, but they don't have any.

I signed up with several on-line stores, for them to notify me when stocks are in. Not in ammoseek (looked just now for Federal primers specifically). Good idea to sign up with the online stores, hopefully quantities are not so limited that the fees bring the total too high. Back in April, the industry estimate was for limited quantities to be available around (not before) September. At that time, there had not yet been five million new gun owners. There had not been "largely peaceful" protests. The election is still a factor. Good to hear the estimate appears to be about right.
Warden Callaway Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Just looked on GB. One 1k brick of Winchester small pistol primers bid at $205 with three days to go! I'm going to put my stash in the safe. It'll be the most valuable item in the safe!
