Shiloh Rifle Forums

You just need to keep looking. Yesterday Nachez had only small rifle and pistol in stock. This morning CCI BR2 and Remington 2 1/2 in stock. I didn't buy any. Still using the reserves I had when this drought started. I did lay in two cases of Swiss this week. I should be good for this year at least.

Thanks for the heads up Woody , just ordered 1000 CCI BR2 from Natchez. Man these prices are tough to accept though. I've been looking for quite a while and all the warnings of scams make a person leary too.

scams make a person leary too.

I will only order from known sources now. I heard recently of scammer on Gunbroker that is hi-jacking listings. It's hard to know what to trust.

Those CCI BR2 primers on Natchez are strip primers.

Well I'm not familiar with strip primers so I did a search and correct me if I'm wrong? but it looks like they are the same primers but are in a plastic strip. If that's accurate is that bad if they can they be removed from the strip easily?

I just did another search and apparently they aren't that hard to remove. I didn't even notice that on the box they show. Oh well better than not having any.

Pete worse case scenario would be having to buy one of the strip priming tools
Last time this primer shortage thing hit those strip primers were available long after the others were gone

Hopefully not Don but quite often it seems like most stuff I do has to be done the hard way for one reason or another. Most times I can improvise something. I guess I can be the guinea pig.

You can do it Pete

Since no one wanted to "talk" about primers, I sold all of them at the gun show this weekend for $100 a brick.

I just got 2000 Br2's Monday that weren't in strip's

I just received a notification from Midsouth Shooters Supply that Federal GM150M match large rifle primers are in stock for $119.99/1000. If you're a dealer (FFL license) & have an account the price is $94.50. Of course you'll have to pay a $19.99 hazmat fee & shipping. I grabbed a couple of "bricks" at the dealer price.

After checking lately with several distributors & suppliers I appears, at least to me, that primers are becoming a little easier to obtain, at least from Federal & CCI. Maybe the suppliers are catching up a bit on their ammo & primer backlogs.

That's good Blackstone. Hopefully mine will be like that too.

I called Natchez and he said the the BR2 Large Rifle primers are not strip primers, even though it says they are on their web site. He also said CCI doesn't make strip primers anymore. Hope those that ordered get what they wanted.

Thank you very much Charlie glad to hear that.
