what's going on with primers?
I just got into reloading and have been in search of large rifle primers for the past year now. I can't find them anywhere. I've look on online retailers, in store retailers and no luck.
Can someone PM me where I might find some large rifle primers? I'm not looking to horde, I'm just looking for like 2 dozen or so for a hunting season.

Checking online shops every morning and you’ll stumble into some, where are you located? Gunpost has them every now And then but you have to sort through as lots of people are selling strictly to make huge profits. In Calgary I’ve seen them in stock at the southland and Shawnessy locations

Shipments have arrived at several Canadian vendors, and AO members posted to notify the forum members. Unfortunately they sold out within a few days. If you want primers, you need to keep your eyes and ears open, and watch for notices on AO and CGN.

Swamp Donkey in Edmonton had some a few weeks ago, might be worth a call to ask if they still have any...

A bit over three years ago a lot of us who’ve been through a few component shortages warned about the impending woes.
Far too many of our forums apologist’s blew it off as fear mongering, and gave out every other excuse under the sun why a couple extra packs of this or that, couldn’t be purchased.
When Higginson got the first real shipment of primers in, in the last 4 years, no fewer than 5 friends ganged up our orders and shipped together, with an average shipping cost of $25/person tacked on to each order.
The Higginson shipment was posted here as well.
If you’re stuck, and you’re not at all observant, I don’t know what to say, other than bring a hefty wad of cash, to buy your primers with.

If you come to Red Deer, I have a couple sleeves I'll sell you at a reasonable price... $40 for 200 primers.
I payed $25 per 100, IIRC.
