Small pistol primers

[Low_Speed94]

Is there any reloading stores in the area that has primers?

 

[Mills]

Non in my area.

I see shotgun or 50 BMG primers from time to time but that is about it.

Saw some on Texasguntrader.com for $125/ 1000.......

Your best bet is to check the little hole in the wall shops. That's where I see many people finding them.

I went to the gun show at Ft. Worth last weekend and quite a few vendors had a few boxes of various size and brand primers, the prices ranged from $100.00 to $225 per 1000. I bought all the $100 per primers the guy had. 2 boxes

In your intro thread you didn’t list that you were a comedian.

Hate to say this but you’re gonna have a bad time. The small supply of small pistol primers I could find has dried up.

I don’t expect we will see supply ease up until after ammo catches up. It’s gonna be a long while.

Ten ring here in Houston is only selling 100 primers per customer per day. Guy at the counter said they have a few of the same customers come by every day.
I bought 100 magnum LRP today and didn't even ask what else they had.

The small shops is where I find a lot of deals.

most of the small shops have already been hit, I have seen two small shops in remote areas completely closed with sign in window stating temporarily closed, no inventory

i havent owned a shotgun for years, and never did reload for them, but i have HEARD that inside of a shotgun primer is a rifle primer? I've heard that it's a large rifle primer, and I dont own any guns that take a large primer, so I have not checked this. But you might want to carefully hacksaw one open, keeping things cool with a damp sponge and see if there's a primer inside of the shotgun primer that can be used for other things. If you'll run a want ad on facebook and craigslist, offering to pay 2-3x as much as normal, somebody will doubtless sell you some primers.

Shotguns take 209 primers. Huge compared to small rifle and large rifle. Also seem to be abundant. I occasionally load shotgun.

that does not mean that you can't cut them apart and look to see what is inside of them. read my post again.

I believe they use 209 for blackpowder stuff. You serious about cutting the primer apart? I think they are built like other primers but a larger scale..

might be, but you can find out in 5 minutes, cost you a nickel.

So you believe that you can transplant the larger anvil and primer chemicals into a smaller primer case? There may be some that are capable of that but their names begin with Winch, Remin, and Fed.
