Any Federal primers to be had?

[age_ranger]

Not sure about anyone else, but I'm having a bear of a time trying to find the Federal small pistol primers. I don't need the match grade but will buy if I have to. They're getting increasingly harder to find. I'm going to have to switch to winchester or CCI here soon and throw in a stiffer hammer spring. The suplier I usually use in Mesquite has told me that they don't expect to get any in right now.

How about Cabella's in FW? I don't want to pay out the nose, but the way things are going, it looks like I might have to.

Cabela's does not sell Federal primers. At least they've never had any when I went and no space on the shelf.

Check your pm.

Cabela's doesn't have primers on the sales floor. They are kept in the vault. You have to ask for them.

When I went to the one in Fort Wirth, they kept them behind the counter back where the scopes were. I'm sure they're in the same place and I do believe they had Federal primers. I've never had a light strike on a federal primer no matter how light I took my hammer spring. Trying to remain consistent and keep with them since they work for me but I might have to change that soon

I generally go to Sportsmans Warehouse. However they are out of almost all primers and have been very spotty every time I have gone there in the last 4 months.

http://www.powdervalleyinc.com/ claims Federal small pistol primers in stock ($21 / 1,000 or $102.50 / 5,000) but large pistol primers out of stock. HAZMAT is $20, plus shipping.

If you were near San Antonio, I could help you out. I have a source for Federal small pistol primers and large also.
