    Gunbroker or a similar auction website is about it. None of the wholesalers I buy from has even had any for several years now.

    Both show up on ammoseek.com.

    I see the Remington listed there from miwall.com. I just placed a primer order through miwall. They delivered as ordered, but the shipping was a little high for my liking.

    Nothing available locally for the past couple of years.

    Check BRUNO'S. I was there today and walked out with a 5000 count case of Remington LPP. I didn't see LRP, but I wasn't looking for them, either. Give them a call, they might have em'.

    I just returned from Cabela's store , 10/21/2023 Sat. 5:37 PM , located in Gonzales , Louisiana (15 miles from Baton Rouge ATCF) (as the crow flies) and they had a good selection of Large & Small Rifle Primers ... magnums too . No limit
    I reload 99% handgun so didn't look at Rifle Primers very hard.
    Pistol Primers were there but not huge amounts , Large and Small Pistol and magnums . The Small Pistol , CCI 500 were $8.44 / 100 , no limit ... I haven't bought primers since they were $35 / 1K .... $85/1K is taking some getting used to ... I bought 500 - CCI Small Pistol just because they were there and I had $42.00 to spare .
    At Gonzales Cabela's ... the supply is thin but there , there is no limit but the prices are high .
    They had a better supply of rifle primers than pistol primers ... I didn't get a chance to look at powder . I have to go back tomorrow to exchange some pants ...
    I will look at powders and report what I find ... they had good supply of substitute Black Powders , Pyrodex , Triple Seven and Blackhorn 209 and such .

    I went back to Cabela's , exchanged the pants and took a look at the Reloading Powders .... the term "Slim Pickens" covers it ... there were very few powders on the shelf .
    Hodgdon - TiteGroup , Lil'Gun , Clays and HP-38 ... I reckognized...$37.99 / 1 lb.
    there were some Hodgdon rifle powders ... (no varget)
    I didn't see any Allaint Powders , No - Bullseye , Red Dot , Unique or 2400 .
    Accurate Arms #2 and #5 were $35.99 / 1 lb. handgun powders ...
    There were some Accurate Arms Rifle powders ... $37.99 or $42.99 ... not a big selection but they did have powders on the shelf.

    Powers and primers are in short supply and priced high .
    If I were looking to start a new Business ... I would consider making Primers ...
    seems like the Demand & Price is there ... just waiting for a supply .

    It seems that LR primers have been the most scarce although they can be found.

    Checked primer inventory at Midway two days ago. Showed Remington 9 1/2 M s in stock. I was surprised as I have them on my wish list and checked the box to notify me of availability. I started to order them along with some powder, but on checkout, order came out as primers not available. A day later, same thing happened. Reckon I'm too slow on the draw?
    Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. I've been loyal to Midway for thirty years, but I reckon I'm going to go with some of your suggestions.

    No rifle to be had but my local one-man shop has a very good supply of Winchester a small pistol at $75. Have been holding off since before Covid but bought at that price.
