Make sure you guys get a confirmation email - looks like these were a site goof and it takes a CS call to push through if it didn't work the first time.

I just got home to find the confirmation email, I originally ordered 5000 ea of lg pistol, sm pistol, and sm rifle. The order went through fine @ 0dark30. But the email sent @ 1450 today says the lg pistol, and sm rifle primers are sold out for the season.....
That drives up the price of the sm pistol primers to $0.04+

Yep. Never got a confirmation email. Called this morning to check on it. CS said it was a glitch. They don't exist. Order did not go through. Lame. :cry:

I got primers since I am gathering supplies to start reloading.

I got my confirmation email that canceled 50% of my order so I got hit a little hard with the hazmat. Lesson learned, and it will still be cheaper than buying off the shelf.

I ordered online. When I have ordered in the past, the confirmation email is usually instant. I called CS within minuets of submitting the order. The first person I talked to said I must be on a "ghost site" and that those items were not available. I told her i went directly to thier site. SO I called back and talked to a different CS rep. SHe went through the order and told me they were in stock. She put the order through and I got the confirmation while talking to her. We will see, if I still get them. I only ordered small pistol primers so I guess I will keep my fingers crossed. I did look at the cabelas site this morning and the only primers on there are shotgun primers.

I've shot through 400+ rounds of .223 and 300blk in the last 3 weeks and none of it cost over .50.


Reloading supplies and components are about as rare and hard to find as ammunition.
These are tough times.
