About all I can say is to keep checking. When I started reloading a couple months ago, none of the big stores had any. I had just bought everything else I needed to get going but no primers. Luckily a couple buddies each loaned me 100 primers so that I could get started. I kept going to the big stores in Billings, Sheridan, Rapid City, and Casper as I travelled around on business. Absolutely none! Finally, I checked in with the little store in my home town. They had boxes and boxes of primers in every size! They were out of CCI small pistol primers but they had Federals, Winchesters, Remingtons and plenty of them. The manager acted a little embarrassed when he said the price was $39/1000 but he said his wholesaler had increased his prices. I didn't think that was too bad though.

I only bought 2000. I didn't want to get greedy. A couple of my buddies were razzing me telling me I should have bought everything he had and sold them for $60. But that's kinda what's causing the problem.
