Unicorn captured in the wild!

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

That's ADI made AR2208, not too hard to find in Australia but primers are pretty scarce.

Varget is similar to, but not identical to IMR4064.
a very useful powder.

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.

If you look through a few loading manuals you will find there are a LOT of ctgs. Varget is suitable for. I am starting to use it in the grand old .375 H&H Mag.
A very useful powder.
