    No luck so far on finding any LP around here... Still trying once a week but I keep finding Small primers. Those I am buying at least 500 just in case ... What I need to start doing is buying powder...

    Question since some users have a lot of powder how do you store them or what's the best way of storing them.

    I just went on their website and found the large rifle primers out of stock. So I clicked the notify me button. A couple of weeks later, I got an email from them so I ordered them for pickup.

    scheels has primers for $69/1k. Cabelas / bass pro are still charging $120/1k at Allen and Grapevine...

    Scheels has safari rifles (on occasion), dillon parts, tons of firearms you can pick up and handle without standing on line.

    Bass pro and Cabelas really need to unfk themselves if they want to compete

    I sign up for the email alert and nothing yet. This SUCK!!!!!! I mean I could buy them on the line but it would cost more on shipping. Even if I got the alert and pay for them for pick up . I still haven't received any email alert...

    Hopefully when big T gets back into office we will see more ammo cheaper and reloading items cheap.

    If you like Hornady. It's better than nothing I guess.

    I love the Hornady SST bullets for hunting, and use them in all my hunting rounds. They have others, but almost no Nosler. But they also have a decent selection of powder, and reloading equipment. roughly 4 1/2 rows of stuff at the Allen location.

    Local Academy stores around me have been stocked pretty well with small pistol and rifle primers whenever I have visited. Last visit had a few thousand large pistol and there was even a few hundred large rifle primers left I was able to get. Looks to be coming around more regularly.

    I used to order most primers through Power Valley but anymore their prices are more expensive and have hazmat/shipping on top.

    It's a shame I shrugged them off a few years ago when pistol ammo dried up. I was focused on small pistol and should have been stocking for a rainy day. At least a recent trade got me 1k CCI LR and 1k CCI br LR primers. They may have been over 20 years old but they're popping off just fine.

    Garland and Plano stores are saying only the McKinney stores are getting primers and not them.

    I think this means the employees are buying them up in Garland and Plano.
