These days it seems the name of the game is take what you can get, wherever and whenever you can find it.Chaparral said:I appreciate you guys. I have been using 800-X with good results. I noticed a local gun store with 2 boxes of large magnum handgun primers on the shelf and was just wondering.
Yes sir I should have grabbed those two boxes of primers when I saw them. I actually saw a guy in OKC selling small rifle primers for $280 a box of 1000.These days it seems the name of the game is take what you can get, wherever and whenever you can find it.

Yes sir doing the same as you. Spending a little less time at the range and hanging on to what I have. The large magnum primers were normal price at a local gun store. I think I will go up there first thing tomorrow. But I won't buy any of the stuff from the scalpers. Like you I am fairly well stocked up. And thank God I am in a profession where I am employed right now. I am very blessed. I am unsure of what will happen after November, but yes I expect the panic will be far worse than it is now given a certain outcome.I'm pretty sure I would just do without at that point (Not to mention, just because someone is selling, doesn't mean someone is buying.)
After the big shortage of '13, I learned my lesson and stocked up. Coincidentally, I am lowest on CCI 300's right now. Nothing near critical though. And I have lots of loaded ammo along with tons of CCI 350's, so it's not too concerning at this point. Further, some 90% of my range shooting is with ammo that uses small primers (38, and some 357 - I'm a revolver guy).
Even with being fairly well stocked, for the time being, I'm going to the range a little less and reducing my round count when I do go. Not to swerve into politics, but if this upcoming election goes unfavorable, I would expect a huge panic buy. So for now, I'm taking it a little easy on component consumption.
