Primer availability in VA

I'll be driving to Charlottesville, VA and back one day this week, mainly on I-26 and I-81. Does anyone know of a shop near my route that has a good stock of primers for sale? Looking to pick up a few thousand SP, LP and LR. Thanks.

I shall remain optimistic but I figure VA isn't any better off primer-wise than western NC. I did get 2 boxes at Sportmans Warehouse in Asheville over the weekend. 100 209's and 150 fiocchi SP. $14 and change. Without the 2 box limit, they probably wouldn't have had any, so I can't gripe too much.

Way short of a couple of thousand.

I'll have to make a few hundred trips.

I picked up some Small Rifle primers today in Flat Rock. About $55.00 a thousand plus tax. German made, yet so far,, they have performed very well.

I'll be picking up I-26 in Asheville, so that's a bit out of the way, but thanks. If I end up out that way in my regular travels, I'll PM you for more info.

No problem.

Ended up staying at my destination longer than planned, and had no time to stop and shop on the return trip as I had hoped. Maybe next time…

It always stinks, when the "primary" purpose of the trip interferes with the planned "bonus" destinations!

Primers have been selling at gun shows in my area for 1 and a half C notes per thousand. Soon I expect the same amount to go for 2 C notes.

$150 per K for primers, and maybe headed to $200 you say?.....Wow....I don't know who's charging that but they might keep on until they price themselves right out of business. LOL.
