Anyone Know Where to Get Primers?

Friends don’t let friends pay post COVID reloading prices,...

If Uncle Larry drops some more primers I'm ready. Already have an item in my cart, I heard it will secure your order.

Dad taught me to hunt and fish, back when I was growing up on the farm in northeast Missouri. Things were much simpler in the '50s and I can't imagine...

lmao

Go ahead and laugh, but I'm prepared to resell that for at least a cool $100.

I mean imperial is making a killing on the forum it seems. Maybe someone will fund a dillon 750 in my future

Maybe it comes with a “golden ticket” like willy wonka and you get all the primers you could ever dream of!

Friends don’t let friends resell in the classifieds when someone does them a favor.

Anyone else think the classifieds should get a new section for ammo listings?

How did you do that? The 'add to cart' button is disabled when I view a product that's out of stock.

I will say it again, out those f**kers.

Yeah, that’s some serious douchebaggery. Makes people hesitant to help others out.

 

[Tallahassee]

Yes, I am far away from being a St. @andrew1220 but I did offer up some LR primers to some individuals to help them out. If they found their way into the classifieds, I'm not going to lie, I would be pissed.

I got a BNIB one I’ll sell you cheap. $1500

 

[Klal]

Wow. First reasonable price in the classified for 1k primers. Still elevated, but the guy isn't completely ripping people off. Reasonable price considering the circumstances...I don't need them and I enjoy my gambling hobby of finding them on drops...

 

[Quite_Exasperated]

People who only buy them to make a c-note from a fellow reloader is the problem. If you need the money to feed your family,.. that’s one thing. Greed is another. “We are all in this together,..” Our children are watching,.. lol.

Don’t forget those empty platitudes...the arc of history bends toward sharing primers and..if you like your primers, you can keep your primers!

I see you’re playing primer keno as well..

 

[76Too]

In the middle of all this panic nonsense, I just scored 900ct .216” Berdan primers to reload my 7.5x55 brass with.

...For $30

I’ll hate myself after my boner goes away, I promise.

...maybe.

 

[bigblue]

I wouldn’t know the first thing to do with berdan primers.

Yeah throw em on the classified with “rare hard to find Preban berdan primers!” $500 they’ll go

 

[bigblue]

FYI, if you check Discord there is a vendor I have not seen before who has quite a bit of powder. They require you to fill out legal paperwork for the Commiewealth but otherwise appear g2g.

 

[Tinkermatic]

Oddly enough, I think I know this. Berdan primers require berdan brass in that the anvil for the primer is actually in the primer pocket. The more common boxer primer contains the anvil within the primer itself.
No?
Russian brass, basically. Special tools I assume as well.

Yes!

well...mostly. Basically European and Asian brass is Berdan primed. Very rare to see the primers here, which is odd because I think there would be a market for them. Especially in times like these.

While not much of a specialty tool, a .30cal punch, a socket and some water are all you need to deprime. Reprime as normal.

 

[Tinkermatic]

I have to know what the water provides to the process. Force? Lubricant?
I’m reading a lot, reloading, not so much.

hydraulic pressure. Pretty neat, right?

I didn’t think of the idea myself, but it’s even easier than using a press, lol.

 

[Tinkermatic]

Water hammer! Water doesn’t compress, I didn’t want to jump there, but that’s a pretty awesome way to de-prime brass.
So, are you adding water to the brass and then introducing a “plunger” so as to force the primer out? Or something else?

 

[bigblue]

Stick to my capitalist boxes.

Correct.

I’ll wait until it’s nice outside to do the bulk of them. Just set up a tub with my anvil in it...scoop, punch, dump, repeat.

You seem pretty certain ‘this’ is capitalism?

To be fair, the reason I’m so excited about this is because I’ve got so many 7.5x55 GP11 cases laying around, and the brass is top notch A #1 stuff. Even if I only do a single reload for each case, that’s still twice the life I would have gotten out of it otherwise.

I’m kind of ‘frugal’, to say the least.

 

[bigblue]

Everything is relative.

 

[Tallahassee]

Hope I am not wrong. But, berdan was invented by an American, while boxer was a European.
