Interesting -- I looked at the instructions for the form -- importation for personal use is something the ATF intends to cover with this form (assuming ammo and components are used anonymously):

An unlicensed person may obtain a permit to import sporting type
ammunition (excluding tracer or incendiary) and firearm parts (other than
frames, receivers, or actions) without engaging the services of a Federal
firearms licensee, provided that the importation is for his personal use and not
for resale.
 
so it sounds like we get approved, drive over buy primers, show approved form while crossing back over the border

sounds easy enough ahhaha
 
This might be helpful in answering the question of whether an American can buy primers in Canada:
