well they were for a second or 2 grafs had federal rifle primers this morning but all are sold now they even had 215ms this is a good sign I think
 
no primers at nosler today that i saw, good brass selection. few bullets, but a pretty good pile of 6.5 partitions, .22 bullets, 6mm bullets, 7mm bullets. only 308 i remember seeing is 180gr ballistic tips. have not seen them in a while. bend UFG/sportsmens had 3 boxs of hornady 265gr interlock .430 and very little of anything else. but they had a much better collection of nosler firsts than nosler did. no primers and no .22 rimfire
 
I was in our local hunting supply today. They had a big selection of powder with lots of containers of each and bullets. Didn't see any primers. Was surprised to see the powder and bullets.
 
I think we are begining to climb out of the hole

Shot shell primers are starting to turn up our local wholsale house that sells retail to locals had an un announced unadvertised very quiet shipment in and out of winchester primers so things should start to level off and hopefully this will put an end to all the scalping
 
Was at the Graf's in St Charles, Mo. today and picked up 1000 large rifle primers (210 match) and 500 215 match primers. They had a sign up that said only 1000 per customer, but didn't question the extra I bought. They had about 3 full bricks of 210's and 2 bricks of 215's left. Bought a brick of small rifle primers the night before at the Cabela's in St Charles. Only problem now is that I have to check luggage when I fly back to Minnesota on Thursday :roll:
 
Well, they killed microstamping in Kalifornia for this year. Hopefully that will alleve some of the panic buying and allow things to normalize. All the plants are running 24x7 right now. I figure at some point, the panic buying will stop, all the reloaders will be stocked for the next 10 years, and the producers will overshoot. I expect this to lead to some good deals in about 12-18 month. If we show a little patience right now, we can probably save some money in the long run.
 
Antelope_Sniper has it right I believe. The panic is subsiding as are the funds of the panic buyers. :grin: My only regret is that I didn't buy stock in some of the Powder/primer/bullet manufactors. :lol:
 
I did.... And they are going no where! I don't understand how the market has such a huge demand but the stock [OLN] is just sitting there or even going down a bit! It makes no sense to me.
