I can no longer say I haven't seen any primers at Cabela's for two years

[gmerkt]

I won't go so far as to say I take back every bad thing I've said about them.

Today, I was at the Cabela's in Tulalip (Marysville, WA) and they had some primers sitting on the shelf. All smalls, no larges. They had some Federal small pistol (I didn't note what number). They also had some Remington small pistol #1-1/2 and some small rifle BR #7-1/2. And some CCI small rifle magnum #450. They were all priced around $95 per brick, plus sales tax, less 5% veteran discount.

Did you buy any?
Edit to add : it's truly a shame that your sales tax goes to support a vile, state government.

I can say I haven't seen primers on the Cabelas shelves in 2 years, mostly because I haven't step foot in a Cabelas in 2 years, despite working right around the corner from the Tulalip location! That place is worthless!

Not Cabelas but the local shop had plenty of everything - ALL primers, ammo in every flavor. They don't stock powder or bullets but it was nice to see the primers again.

I have been getting e-mail alerts for a while from a few places about them too. Every one of these panics the primers are always last to come back. This is the longest I have seen yet though. Price will still come down a little but, I hope those who were caught yet again without remember. They will NEVER be the price they were before we went crazy printing money. So maybe this time some will lay in a supply BEFORE the next panic.

Wish I could. I had to sell off all my powder (most of it) and primers (most) because the moving company wouldn't allow flammable stuff in the shipping container. Space in the car was at a premium and I was already taking up a bunch of it with arms and ammo. Did manage to save some primers by tucking them into any available pocket though.

Moving again in August. C'mon world - don't panic buy again till next year

Yes, I bought a brick each of Rem. 1-1/2 and 7-1/2 BR. Just in case.

You'll get no argument out of me on that point. As my USAF dad used to say, "It was a target of opportunity." I was on my way back from a shooting trip.

Problem is these days finding Large Primers for sale.
Plenty of places have small rifle and pistol for sale. Sometimes at pretty good prices.
