Large Rifle Primers when will they be back?
Anyone have any insight on when Large Rifle primers will be available again?I see there are some unknown to me brands that can be found online, but hoping to see some CCI brand.
Thanks

The ones you can buy now, even if you haven't heard of them, work just fine. Buy some and try them, sure you will find it is better than waiting for stuff that may not show up for years.

If I really needed primers, I wouldn't hesitate to buy RWS primers, their ammunition/components are good quality.

Can't say they are that high of prices but a few weeks ago I saw a dealer price sheet on a new batch of primers he had in and holy smokes I just about passed out!

People are just going to have to get used to the idea, that the days of $50/ 1000 primers, and $30/lb powder are long over. Then again, so are the days of buying centerfire hunting loads for $30/box. Supplies of components should return to somewhat normal levels eventually, but the new normal for components will be much higher.

I can handle the $20/sleeve prices. Its the guys selling them for $100/sleeve that are getting stupid, but I guess thats supply and demand for you. Glad I'm not desperate for any...

They can only get $100/100, if people buy them. I will never buy rifle primers again, but I use 5000 shotshell primers every year, so I keep a couple of years supply on hand, and buy when I find supply as long as it isn't totally
unreasonable.
