Renegade Plowboy Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I’d take either if I could find them. I saw the Winchester change earlier this year. After second look, the Federals will do. Currently no use for LP primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waimea Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The bigger question is where in h-e-double-hockey-sticks did you find primers in the past 2 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Bought a pound of wst yesterday and the label was totally different than my other ones. Bought federal primers but look the same. Rafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGS chain in NE Ohio. I bought 500 Winchester LP two weeks ago and 500 Federal SP and 500 CCI LP last week. Limit 500 per type - limit 1000 total. I bought the 1000 last week for other cowboys.

In Stock too ... https://www.armurerie-gilles.com/@FR-FR/federal_lc78.html I guess the new packaging allows them to fit in better in their overseas market ... That is an amazing shortage!!

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 At least when the primers do hit the shelves at reasonable prices, I know I'll be buying fresh ones and not some horder's stockpile that he's trying to dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 The new packaging is to differentiate between the old priming compound with a spec'd shelf life of 47+ years, and the new priming compound designed with obsolescent degradation chemicals that only last two to three years.

Do you have any more information on this, 3 Foot? Not only would this affect the shelf life of the primers while still in the sleeve, but also the shelf life of loaded ammo.

I borrowed my landlord's trailer for a lead run the other day. He got new wheels on it. He said "You should be careful of speed traps cuz those new wheels are gonna run faster than the old ones." I said "Really?!?" He just turned and walked away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
