    Where can you buy primers these days?

    Thought occurred I could use some pistol and rifle primers. Usual places have "out of stock" or "back ordered", Any body know where you can call in an order and actually expect to get some?.

    Oh, you can get them. It depends if you are willing to eat a couple hazmat charges as sites never seem to have everything you need.

    Last time I looked both 3rd generation and mid south had all types in stock and natchez had some. Just hunt online and order a bunch to make it worthwhile with shippng and hazmat. Last couple of gunshows I went to had primers also.

    Keep looking at Powder Valley every day. When they have em, pounce.

    I got 25 K about 6 weeks ago.

    Don't wait and think on it, they will be gone.

    LGS has Win primers of all sizes, the large are priced lower than the small, guess he has a reason. Got a bunch of Tula SP from PV a few weeks ago.

    I know you said "call in an order" but sometimes you can walk in too,
    this is why it helps to know what area you are in.....

    You do not list a location in your name block, so we really cannot advise.

    Here in AZ, Big ASSPro Shop has tons of primers. All my local gun stores have them by the case. Cabbala's has them. Sportsman's Warehouse has them.......I just bought 4K of them last night there. The primer search 'round here is pretty much over.

    Please edit your info to tell us approximately where you are so we can be more helpful.

    good luck!

    Yesterday I ordered primers (LR and SR at $34.95 per thousand) and powder (2400 and 4350) from Third Generation Shooters Supply...they had "bits and pieces" in stock and fortunately had just the things I was looking for so the $27 hazmat was spread way out...they have great shipping at a very low cost....don't know what might be left or what might have been added...just have to pick your way through their product lists.

    If someone is charging you more for LR vs SR, they are ripping you off. All primers except shotgun primers are the same price everywhere I get them!

    And SP & LP (std or mag) are the same price as rifles

    Buyer Beware!!!!!!!
