What RL338 said.
From my understanding they test each lot and those that have the tightest tolerances are segregated and labeled "Match" and they use the "most experienced" primer makers to achieve this.
Im right there with ya.
I started buying primers during Trump's first admin. I laid back thousands. Glad I did as well.
These "shortages", come about every now and again, so it's always wise to "plan" for the next one, because there's always a next one.
If you'll pay attention to some of the "reloading supply websites" you can catch "no hazmat fee" from time to time. That only leaves standard shipping fee. That's the time to buy powder and primers.
Glad you found some.
Ive been finding primers in stock at my local Academy in SC as well. While I didn't need any LRP's I did pick up some Winchester Magnum primers that I ran across
Hopefully, primers will become readily available again rather than one of those "would you look at what I...

The milder recoil and bullet availability make these rifles just about perfect for most of the...
I have a Diamondback on my Muzzleloader. As already noted, they are decent scopes for the money. Glass is clear, sharp and they track & hold zero. They do just fine for my hunting style with a muzzleloader.
I have tried a good many different sabots in my CVA Optima V2 LR. What I found to work the best for me were the Harvester Short Black sabots. I tried the Harvester Crush Rib sabots and accuracy suffered.
I have some Crush Rib sabots left over. If you would like to have them, send me a PM with...
Never tried any 4350 in my aught 8. Ive used Varget, H414, IMR 4895 and Big Game. All have worked very well.
Im currently working on a Big Game powder load with a 139 gr SST that is showing promise. Ive got 10-12 more loaded up to hopefully get to the range Saturday and prove previous results...
