400mThe elusive large rifle primer
In the past 30 days, I have looked in 3 Cabela’s and in Brownells. Not one box of LR primers to be had. Have you seen any on the shelf near you?

jsjacI bought 3000 from a local shop. The cost was $89/1000 .

400mI’ve never used GINEX primers. Are you happy with their quality? Any issues?

PCWyomingI have used them in 9mm and .40 S&W. No problems in hundreds of rounds.
Have not used the Large Rifle ones yet.

357fuzzPowder Valley has been a good friend of hunters of LR primers during this drought. They usually have Ginex and a new start up company out of AR-kansas called White River Energetics. Some of my competition buddies and I have tested them both. Both are GTG. The Ginex primers are practically the same as Winchester LRPs. Didn’t have to change our rifle’s dope between the Ginex and Winnie primers.
They are currently in stock. You just missed out on No Hazmat Fee.

Our local Scheels got a metric crap ton of Winnie LR magnum primers.$79.99 w/ another 10% off a brick of 1,000. Much better price than what I have seen in the past couple years. I haven’t seen that many LR primers in one place on the shelves in a long time as well.

coloradohunter44I did find and purchased some Federal Magnum large rifle primers a few days back. Scheels had about 65 boxes of 1000 in stock. Amazing.

pbslingerI stop at Bass Pro on the way to a buddies house, and buy 200 LR and 1000 LR magnum. I only bought the magnums because I'd use them out of desperation. I help my buddy with something and out of appreciation, he gives me a 5000 pack of CCI LRs.
