On my way to DFW airport and decided to stop in at a small gun shop on the way…..

First time in 5 YEARS I have seen this on the shelf!

I actually saw a few pounds in a store just north of Anchorage Alaska 2-3 weeks ago. Things are coming back.

With the number of privately owned stores that actually sell primers and powder dwindling by the day…. It’s simply more profitable to open up a gunbroker account in your wife’s name and sell it online.

notice gunbroker never has a shortage of primers for sale.
 
I got lucky there. Before things went crazy I had picked up a box of 1000 of Winchester large rifle primers just in case along with few hundred I already had, plus I grabbed several hundred Wincester Magnums, which I use even less of. So I'm set for a long time for what I use them for.
 
4 lbs available on another Forum. Apparently can be shipped. I’d post a link but AH doesn’t allow that. I can point you in the right direction with a DM.

yeah I did the same thing and bought 5,000 primers back before it got crazy again… 5 years ago- 5 years ago was the last time I was able to buy primers at a shop and I bought 5,000 thinking “this will last a while”….. that was 5 years ago
 
Don't mean to go off topic OP but........
I have never had the opportunity to use Varget powder can someone enlighten me to it's benefits, it does seem to be on the fast side
Thanks
 
That's ADI made AR2208, not too hard to find in Australia but primers are pretty scarce.

It's useful in a wide variety of some of the more common calibers out there such as 270 Win, 7mm-08 Rem, 308 Win, 30-06, 375 H&H and 375 Ruger, to name a few. Plus it's fairly insensitive to temperature.

At Kalahari Safari, the Small Things Are the Big Things
The thrill of the stalk. The stillness of the wait. The age-old rhythm of the hunt.
It’s not just about the size of the trophy. It’s about the stories that will be told for years.
We believe the memories are the true prize. The small things are the big things.
And we’re proud to offer a hunting experience that honours exactly that.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
