Primers

[tmahler99]

I'm new to reloading, in fact I have yet to reload anything. I picked up the RCBS Master kit. Purchased my first set of dies last night. I asked the shop owner for primers because I couldn't see any. He had none, said he hadn't gotten any significant amount all year. Are you finding large rifle primers hard to find? Any suggestions.

Thanks,
Trent

Primers are hard to find. You can do a search on the net and pay the Haz. fee or start calling every sporting goods and gun shop in not even reasonable driving distance. It's tuff but don't give up. Reloading is fun.
I checked my usual places and Natchez has small rifle and large mag rifle. Everybody else is out!

Try Powder Valley. At least they'll accept a backorder on some items.

I got my last batch of primers and powder from them. They had Wolf primers in stock then, and they seem to work just fine. Hopefully they'll get another shipment in.

Thank you for all the help. I contacted one of the "regional" stores that I used to work at and they had some in. I guess its a day by day situation, but I'll be going up there next week. they'll hold some for me then. I'm really excited to start.
