WTB primers - anyone know who's got what?

rotarymike · Jan 18, 2013

Trying to find small pistol and CCI #41; small rifle works too.

Was at PSA today, they had large rifle CCI and, believe it or not, CCI 34 (mil-spec 7.62) primers, and some magnums.
East Coast had some large pistol and large rifle.

Anyone know where else has anything?

Hi

I was at ATP and East Coast yesterday. ATP had a pretty good selection of primers, I know they had small rifle, but don't recall seeing any CC#41. Most primers were running 49.99 a thousand. Definitely not a bargain, but they were on the shelf. Some boxes looked like they had a half dozen price stickers on them as they keep on raising the prices.

What were the prices like at PSA? Do you know if they had any stripped lowers?

Thanks

Mark

PSA had magnum primers only. Shotgun powder and some pistol powders. No lowers.

I've got a line in Columbia on CCI #500 small pistol primers...I think about $45 after taxes. Shooter's Choice had about 6-8 1000ct boxes a few days ago. Only catch is you gotta save box for me to buy if you come get them.

I was going to try to go back on Tuesday to get another 1k and if they have any left I'll update this.

The only thing that's not decently priced at Shooter's is their powder. About $10 over other stores for 1lb.

Those are crazy prices.
I've got 6 thousand small pistol primers but I believe they're corrosive, take 'em all for $125.

why do you believe they are corrosive? what kind are they, brand?

They're packaged in a generic white sleeve with only part numbers and date codes printed on them, no manufacturer info. The 5000rd cardboard outer carton is Winchester but I do not believe its original.

I had some light rust develop after shooting some in my M16 & HK guns. I tested them on a clean piece of steel vs a known brand and they rusted the bare steel surface.

Mike, you were in PSA on Farrow today...did you see the CCI small rifle primers #400 on the shelf? When I was there at 3pm, they had 5 boxes. I bought one box of 1000 and another guy bought one box so they had 3 left after I walked out.
