Ok, i will try this and hope the admins don’t go nuts. I quite sure a lot of us have modern guns besides our BPs. I have one (won’t say what). If you think caps were hard to find, i have been searching for large pistol primers for a year. None to be found. I reload my own .44 brass otherwise it’s about a buck a round to shoot. I have been to every website I can think of. Out of ideas.
Any of y’all know where i can get 100 large pistol primers?

You can find them on-line. They ONLY cost @$30.00 more than 'small pistol primers'. This, to me, IS A RIP-OFF! 1000 small primers are running @ $90.00 from a well known out-let.

I have found the best deals on reloading components at local gun shows, and no hazmat.

The hazmat and shipping is in the retail sales cost.

Large pistol primers are available in many places online if you buy per 1000. I ordered 1000 a couple weeks ago. A few days later I stopped by a LGS and they had them cheaper per 100 than I paid when buying per 1000.

Yep They are coming down. About 2 weeks ago I got federal LP's at Shydas at $10 a 100. Just checked and they have Remington LP's in stock for $7.99 now.

Thanks,

If you are anywhere near central Virginia I can spare a hundred or so

Adam's Muzzleloading near Petersburg had both #10 and #11 the other day

You think those are hard to get? Try large rifle primers. The trick is to find an outlet on line that has the primers, caps, and gunpowders that you need in one place....one hazemat fee....impossible!

Just looked at Academy online. It's to see their prices are comparable to mine.
Now I don't have to listen to the locals tell me how cheap Academy's are compared to my prices.

Thanks for posting. They have several brands of large rifle primers in stock, available in quantities of 100's if that's what's wanted.

That's where I got my last batch from. Also Ammo Seek is a good search engine for unmentionable ammo and primers.

Not the best prices, but at least they have stock.

$15 hazmat regardless of quantity is not bad, but $25 to ship 1,000 primers ain’t great.

Still, thanks for the link!

In the not too distant past always bought primers by the 5000 case and powder in 8 lb containers. I still have some of it and it is always better to over purchase. Same with muzzle loader stuff.

Followup on Republic Ammunition: they are really FAST!! I ordered some primers on Tuesday and FedEx just dropped them off today (Thursday), and I just paid for "standard" shipping.

 

[RMFnLA]

Free shipping and no hazmat:

Good news. I was just over at .22reloader to see about ordering a number 11 cap maker. New product: center fire primer makers. For $129.00 you can now make your own. They've got the instructions right there on the site and everything you need to getcha going.
