Re: What primers can you find in your part of the US
From the local retail stores, Win, Fed and CCI. Right now the stores are at the mercy of their supplier and just get what they can give them. Gun shows are anyone's guess. I have seen even Norma primers on occassion.

Re: What primers can you find in your part of the US
I just took a tour of the sporting/gun stores in Rapid City yesterday. Looks to me pretty much any kind of primer was available. Same with powder.
Might be my imagination but it also seems the prices are coming down.
Looks like to me, the drougt is over, at least in this part of the country.

Re: What primers can you find in your part of the US
I am going to wager that we are about to see a major surplus of primers and a nice price drop. Why? Everyone and their uncle has bought enough primers to last them years, if not the rest of their shooting career! That means plenty of stuff sitting on the shelves soon, just like post 94. And, take into consideration that the average shooter uses probably no more than 1000 per year, and you got a huge surplus. Its some of us that use 1,000-2,000 per MONTH that may use up our stash a bit quicker and can take advantage of the coming surplus.

Re: What primers can you find in your part of the US
There are 3 retailers locally that sell reloading supplies and the only primers available from any of them are CCI and WIN. I haven't seen Fed. for over a year and Rem. is nearly as bad. I only use large rifle and large pistol primers so I have no idea what's available for anything else.

Re: What primers can you find in your part of the US
Suddenly there are lots of primers avialable in the Chattanooga, TN area. I have recently seen CCI, Winchester, Federal and some Remington. I believe that you could get any size even if you could not get the brand you wanted. I saw Federal Small rifle match primers in two different stores but no Large rifle. There were some small pistol match also. Some CCI BRs, not sure what sizes, some were large rifle.
Looks to me like things are about to get caught up. I'm still waiting to see some Fed match LR on the shelves.

Re: What primers can you find in your part of the US
CCI in the area, no Winchester. Ironic since the store I shop at always had Winchester, for several yars, and no CCI when I was looking for CCI.

CCI, Winchester any size except for LRM's.

Re: What primers can you find in your part of the US
One store here has all sizes of CCI, FED, REM, Wolf and WIN and the other one had a lot of REM and WIN last night, few CCI's. The store with the huge selection has a damn 500 primer/customer limit!!

What stores are there in Chattanooga? I get over there for work every now and then and I like to check new places out.

Re: What primers can you find in your part of the US
One store here has FED,WIN,REM,CCI AND WOLF in most if not all sizes but thats just real recent. Theres been a 100 primer per person limit for awhile now. The FED's are off and on but I see it more now then just a month or so ago. It was really slim here for awhile this goes for powders as well.
Also this is on my Island of Oahu not sure about the other islands and how they are doing with reloading components I heard it was really bad.

The only place in town that I could recommend is the Sportsman's Warehouse. I don't go to any of the other places in town unless I am in dire need of something. There may be a new shop opening called Shooters Depot but I have not heard when they might be up and running.
If you are driving and have not been there yet I would recommend checking out Hero-Gear in Winchester, TN just off I-24. It is a pretty cool place with good customer service.
