I am stocked up on most stuff, but I dont think I have enough primers to load everything I have in powder, brass and bullets.
Not rying to hoard them, but I do go through about 500 a year in large, and 1000 a year in small rifle primers just "plinkin"
I finally got a hold of 2 pounds of RL17 and figured I would get some primers as well but.... bare shelves everywhere.

I thought while I was down a few days... I might try a little reloading... bigger chore than I thought... I knew the dreaded .380 Assault Pistol Ammo was non-existant but Large Rifle Primers ?
I tried Smith & Edwards... nothing.
Sportsmans Warehouse on Riverdale.... nothing... might as well close.
Impact Guns... I was prepared to get reamed as usual but nothing.
Walmarts... haha... Nothing but a few did have some RCBS master reloading kits at a decent price.
Kents Shooting supply... whoo hoo... they had some projectiles and some powder left but alas... no primers.
I've got a few more Walmarts to check out but that basically leaves me with the Salt Lake Crossroads gunshow April 18-19 and or Cabelas... I haven't checked Cabelas but its a two hour drive.

RE: Northern Utah a Bust..........
I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I have over 10 thousand large pistol primers, and 5 thousand large rifle primers. Over 25 pounds of different powders for pistol and rifle reloading.
About 800 pounds of smelted wheel weight lead for casting pistol & rifle bullets and 6 casting moulds for different calibers, most being 6 bangers for production casting.
As for the pistol primers, my son and I both shoot IDPA matches and we go though 600-800 rounds a month. another reason I have over 6000 pistol cases and about 1000 rifle cases.
someone mentioned going to the gun show, around here primers have been almost non existant at the local gun shows except for small pistol primers. Forget large pistol and rifle primers, they just do not have them.
Ole Bobcat was not lying when he said for you guys to stock up. Give it about 6 months and hopefully it will get back to normal.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-23-09 AT 06:14AM (MST)[p]I just bought 5000 primers(5 boxes)of CCI Large rifle but I am having a hard time locating the Federal Magnum primers.
I was able to order 1 box 1000 though. Stinks having to pay the hazmat charge so I try to order a bunch and get some powder too.

RE: Northern Utah a Bust..........
I checked every place in Reno and actually Scheels has had a pretty good selection of powder and pistol primers. Cabelas had a good selection of bullets but less than 15 lbs of powder total including black powder subsitutes. Sportman's?? Not even much brass. Lots of disappointed customers in every place lookin for what they didn't have.
I think the last scare was 92/93 when Clinton got elected. I'm in pretty good shape for huntin with bout 4 lbs each of IMR4350, IMR 4381, RL-19 and RL-22. Some powder for .223 and 22-250.
Great shape for shotgun.
Best variety of loaded ammo was Cabelas.
We'll see if anything is normal again in the next year or two.
Note to self: Next time a Democrat gets elected, buy as much as you can afford.

Not that it will help you but I went Carters Country here in Houston and they had plenty of CCI Large Riffle BR primers. I guess you just have to be at the right place and the right time.
Good Luck

Here you guys are trying to find reloading components and here I am trying to sell them. Ebay pulled my auction for components. I didn't know you could sell the press, but not the components. Weird!
I went into my garage to assess the situation and I have a few thousand primers (different brands), powder, brass, bullets, dies, press, press accessories, etc....
What's the best website out there that I could post this stuff to sell it on?

The largest Gun Internet Auction site is actually Gunbrokers.

Are the reloading components RCBS ? Trying to find .30 carbine RCBS dies and a #17 Shell holder.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-26-09 AT 03:23PM (MST)[p]I'm not in Utah, but I heard something interesting. I was at a local gun shop a couple weeks ago buying primers and at the time they still had 215M from CCI, Rem, and Win. They told me that they talked to their Federal rep and was told that Federal would not be producing primers for civilians at the direction of the military wanting them to focus on filling their orders.
If that is true that is a real bummer because that means a political decision was made because they didn't have any problem keeping the gov't and us stocked up during the peak of the Iraq war, so why now??? What are the motives here?????

RE: Northern Utah a Bust..........
cahunter, I have a hard time feeding my RUM and weathrby's anything but 215's. but i read an article by John Barness (someone that i trust) and he said that CCI 250's burn just as hot. so i guess thats an alternative. i just wish i could find federal's, its what i've used for years.

I horded a bunch of the Fed Match grade primers and other primers a while back. Look at the other brands and chrony them. In many cases the Fed primers wont be as consistant with velocity spreads
