Anybody know of an online retailer with wolf or other cheap primers in stock?
Anybody know of an online retailer with wolf or other cheap primers in stock?
Just checked Powder Valley, all in stock except 209 shotgun. Here's the link.
These are Tula which are supposed to be the same as Wolf.

Let's make AMERICA Great again!!!
I haven't been very attracted to buying primers and powder on line; the vendors I've checked add $25 hazmat fee to every shipment, and if you can only afford a pound or two of powder and one or two flats of primers at a time, that makes it cost about the same (or even less) to buy locally. The local dealers buy by the pallet, and can dilute the hazmat shipping over a hundred pounds or more of powder -- it just vanishes in their markup.
Oddly enough, here in New Orleans there are no major retailers that carry primers. Our LGS charge 35-40 for 1000. At $20 plus shipping and hazmat, I break even at almost two 1000 count boxes.
There are some individuals around who order in bulk and sell, but I can't drive an hour out of my way to get to them just yet.
Most of us have reloading buddies. When I order, I get a group buy together from a couple of local buddies and buy a large quantity of powder and bullets. This spreads the hazmat and shipping three ways (I divy up proportionate to what each bought).
Three happy guys with lots of components. For this to work, just think long term...

Good idea. I will have to ask around here for other casters/reloaders
