    Default Where to buy Primers?

    Where is a good place to buy reloading supplies? Specifically looking for CCI 209m primers. Midway has them, but the hazardous shipping cost is close to what it costs for 1000.

    Be careful answering Mike publicly, you might cause a run on your favorite store. Next time you go, they'll be out of primers. Prices on everything in the store will go up because of the increased demand.

    Nah man...increased sales increase profit and allow him to stock even more supplies. Its a win-win.

    If only there was an agency in charge of all Primers that could give him all the the specific information he could want with something as simple as a phone call. That'd be sweet and a good way to get the information. Mike isn't that lucky though. He has to ask on a public forum.

    Powder valley is a good online source. But you'll have to bundle to get over the hazmat fee.

    As for local options where are you located?

    What are 209s, shotgun? They should be easy to find.

    Cabelas in Greenville actually had Federal Gold Match SPP on the shelf the other day. They were unicorns the last few years.

    If all you need is 1000, you are best buying OTC vs shipping from any source.

    Natchez was discounting Hazmat fees if you bought a certain amount of powder/primers. Think it was 10# or so.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Thank for the suggestions. I'll look into some of those sources. I'm in Myrtle. The "regular" 209's I can usually find, but I'm looking for the CCI 209m.

    Good luck. The ammo companies have cut back on selling primers when they ramped up production of their own shotshells. As a result primers have become scarce.

    They're all over the place on gunbroker. Higher than camel cock too.

    Other than that, retail stores seem to stay wiped out unless you're lucky enough to be there when they stock the shelves from that day's shipment.
