Is this supposed to be a serious question? Or just a chuckle?

This is not funny however it is almost. It also must be just where you are located because the dealers in my area have most of what ever you want on the self. last week i stopped by and they even had cci large rifle magnums. they were 40.00 a box though. i should be going to jonesville NC the last week of this month or the fist of may to do some work. If you PM me i could probably brings a few thousand with me. now i am just offering this because everyone seems to be having trouble getting them. i will not charge anything for bringing them to Jonesville NC
This Forum has helped me so much in the past with information from memebers on here this is just my way that i may contribute. you could call it a membership perk.

Primers should be available right about the time Nancy Pelosi has us registering our guns. I hear they also want to laser engrave a trackable code on every bullet, case, and primer as well!!!

You can go to the link and see what the Chief Operating Officer of Black Hills has to say about production. You have to read through about a page of complaining before you get to the first response by the COO.

The real reason for the shortage is people hoarding more than they need. Primers, bullets, powder, everything. And a shortage is driving prices up.
CCI primers have been the easiest to find. Then Winchester. But, Federal primers are very difficult to find. I've been looking for 215M for a few years now, with no luck.

been looking for the 215m's myself. I even called federal directly and they gave me a list of about 10-15 companies to which they distribute and NONE carried them. Very futile wasted effort. They say they are manufacturing, but frankly we never see them any time soon. (Their words, not mine)

There is a panic buying spree. People are buying 3 to 5 thousand primers at a time, when they are in stock. I work in a major sporting goods store at the gun counter and people that do not even reload are buying bricks of primers. All the reserves are gone. CCI is working 24 hours a day now. Federal said that they are 5 months behind in primers, when my store made an order the last time. Powder is the same.
