availability of Powder and Primers revisited

[mwilkins]

Does Bruno's have the market cornered on both powder and primers?

In most cases while looking for powder, Bruno's has a very good selection of in stock items but you pay for them. In some cases, I have found a $7 difference between Bruno's and PowderValley on one pound tubs but....... Bruno's has it in stock and you can get it now. Not having to wait a month or longer for a shipment.

The same can be said for primers. Looking for other sources, most seem to be hit or miss on in stock items. Lately, Cabela's has had on the shelf items but if you are not lucky enough to be there when they get stocked, it disappears rather quickly. I have been fortunate enough to get a lot of what I was looking for off the shelf and not having to pay for a hazmat shipping fee.

I think that most of us don't feel that desperate to pay those excessively high costs, and are hopeful that availability increases soon.

Items are showing up here & there more often weekly-just hang tight.
This last week, I saw a many uppers, & complete rifles @ Fleet Farm's site , for the Huldra guns=from MN =Adams arms-Brainerd mn.
This is a HUGE step forward- toward any type of normalcy. I used to be called the most optimistic guy on the web===get what you need now.
I still feel okay for about 3 months, then we''ll see what pops up. Never overpay for any thing-it's just a greed feed to the idiotic stores we buy from.
They can wait-suffer for what they cry to us-me weekly about supply & demand BS. This can be transferred over to the greedy oil market speculators also.
Time for some real change here-Regulate oil & gas prices again.
Sorry, yet the oil ind. is involved in the Gunpowder ind.-==petroleum distillate' s. It is so sick, how the greedy ones think -as to how --we will buy how much gas-powder, & @ what price point?
I'm still thinking of boogin to New Zealand.

Hey, Detroit went for Bankrupcy today=nice....

Lots o primers here. Now powder. Local store. Bought a brick and half of CCI450. Regular price.

The "local" store here in tallahassee just jacked their prices up to $70 /1000 for all primers. The only powders they had were magnum rifle class and had gone from 29.99 to 32 or 33, cant remember. I wont buy from them when I can order from powder valley later at 20 bucks a pound. Anyway it was good to see some primers in stock somewhere. There is a gun show this weekend, so maybe ill have more luck there. BTW, I dont think the LGS is trying to gouge, his cost may have actually gone up. Just sayin'.

[hill.brandonj]

Oh no. These are well. I think tax in. I paid under sixty for 1200

[neenjuh]

Are CCI #41 ok to use? And what's considered a good price? Or should we hold out until some other primers come available?

[Dogue]

I use CCI41's, no issues. Not sure what a good price is now but I wouldn't pay more than $35/1000.

[neenjuh]

Thanks man!

[sneaky one]

As we all know-in a pincher situation=any primer looks good, at a reasonable price point.

Tides will change-then we'll buy all the 450's we can!
If it pops=we likey-likey!

The market is rebounding for now-enjoy as you can....

[hill.brandonj]

The powder I want to try is 35 dollars a pound at Bruno's and 20 at PV. So you right, you sure pay for it! I am hoping for more availability in the upcoming months. Right now, I am not that desperate.
