Sellier & Bellot primers- where are they?

[mjwcaster]

Anyone have any idea what happened to the supply of Seller & Bellet primers?

Cabelas was running them on sale all spring ling and now for the last few months have been out of stock.

Other suppliers are either out of stock or have a very limited supply.

I should have stocked up when they were available for $19.99 per K.

$19.99 per K? You overpaid by $2 and possibly missed out on a coupon to make the next batch even cheaper

They are foreign made and come over in cargo ships. Pretty easy to see why supply fluctuates. Once they clear customs they will be on the shelf again. I'm sure someone will bring up the fire but I don't think that has any bearing on current availability.

I should have stocked up when Herters had them for less than $3 a K. I am down to my last 2K Herters large pistol.

MAybe S&B is stocking up? You know, the US presidential election is coming..

Probably ALL manufacturers of guns, ammo and reloading stuff are secretly supporting Hillary. Trump wouldn't be as good for their business possibilities.

I'm still seeing them but irregularly, need to get more.

the primers are the Achilles heal of reloading and I have been stocking up as much as funds allow.

I know where 100K are, the rest I'm not sure about.

I heard Seller.s had a fire sometime back at one of there plants. That could be the answer.

Eh, I'm more tempted to believe cabela's just does a bulk order and sells it all out before ordering more. I'm awaiting a decent sale before I purchase any more....unless hiltery gets elected then all bets are off.

Fire was a fact. The link between it and current supply is all internet rumor. Any product is subject to limited/no availability at times. Especially things that come here by ship.

I did 15k at the $19.99 . I am not hurting yet, but I am starting to be on the lookout.

I was waiting to get some discounted cabelas gift cards and then stock up at $19.99.
In the spring you could find $50 gift card for $40, then it became $100 card for $85.

The timing just never worked out, and now there are no primers or discount gift cards.

Now that the TV news has announced today that Cabelas was just bought by Bass Pro Shops for several billion dollars, I hope the Cabelas where I shop starts getting them again.

Plenty of bad reviews about this company.
