If primers are allowed at a gun show, they have them and it seems that their prices are hard to beat.

I haven't seen all that good of pricing at Ahlmans, but I may be wrong.

Well, I wonder what the hazmat limit shipping wt limit is? You have to pay the frt, haz mat, insurance, adult sig required fee. What does that work out to be?

Two words: Iraq. Afganistan.
Rest assured my co-workers and I are producing what we can as fast as we can as best we can.
However, there is a group of fellas that come FIRST.
Most of them are currently busy with applying the fruits of our labor in warmer climes than can currently be found in the continental U.S.
I apologise for any trouble this may be causing you.
As a home loader myself I feel your pain but even we who are tasked with the production end of the spectrum do not get to enjoy uninterrupted supply.

Although I don't think that the government's contracts come first out of any sense of honor or duty, I think its got everything to do with the size of their checkbook and their likely future demand, although I'm sure many of the rank and file have a sense of personal pride which is entirely understandable.

Glad to get verification from what may be considered the horses mouth.

I have small stock to get by, but I agree that the boys over there get priority.
