The local gun shop I go to got in small and large pistol primers last week and he got a bunch. He also said he will have them from now on as far as he can see there should be no further problems getting pistol primers according to his supplier. So take that for what it's worth. I am well supplied now and glad to be so.

Rifle primers are still not available locally.

But.....

I had 3 orders of bullets come in at Cabela's in KC during the past week, so I drove over there to pick them up yesterday. I now have enough .308 hunting bullets to last me and my hunting buddies for several years at my current rate of usage. .223 55gr fmj are still on backorder from April. Soft points are avaiable, but at a price of $14 per hundred I think I can wait for the fmjs for plinking, plus I can get fmjs locally for a $ or two more in the meantime. I just bought several hundred so I have more than I need for now.

Cabela's had a few Remington small rifle primers, but were limiting purchases to 300 per customer. Of course I bought 300. @ $4.99 per hundred. Pricey, but what are you gonna do?

No large rifle primers at all. Accoridng to the local guy, in about a month or so rifle primers will be caught up for his supplier.
