rossislider Report post Posted December 20, 2012 Well, I was expecting the run on Ar-15s and high capacity magazines but didn't figure everyone would panic and start stocking up on general reloading supplies. Oh well, my mistake. I need to pick some so went by Sportsman's but they were cleaned out. Anyone been to any local shops (east valley) that have any small rifle primers in stock or have any other leads on some? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AzHuntingAddict Report post Posted December 21, 2012 How was the other reloading components? I need to get some powder and projectiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossislider Report post Posted December 21, 2012 They looked to be pretty well stocked on projectiles still. They have gone to keeping all powder and primers in the back room, so it is hard to say what they may have. I know they were out of the small rifle primers and h335 powder. It is a lot more frustrating now as you have to wait for someone at the gun counter to be available to check for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AzHuntingAddict Report post Posted December 22, 2012 I was able to get small pistol primers, but only after being told they were sold out and then watching them bring out some to a "select" customer it seemed. They then stashed them under the counter. Was able to ask another employee, then told them were to find them. I was not out to buy the entire stock but only wanted a single box. Have to be pushy I suppose to get what you need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creed Report post Posted December 22, 2012 I was planning on selling all of my reloading stuff but not now! I am hanging on to every last bit of it with the exception of possibly my .257 Improved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
