Primer alert / reloading thread.

I picked up 2K of CCI 41s yesterday at .08 cents each. Didn’t need em yet but, they had 8K sitting there so if figured there wouldn’t be any soon. I plan on loading up 3k 9mm this week, which puts me at zero balance of small pistol. Luckily I have a lot of small rifle to get me through anything else which needs a small primer.

Last week Wednesday was first time I had seen them have small pistol primers(primers in general) for the last year. Went again this week Wednesday at the same time and they had more than last week. Seems like cabelas gets ammo delivered either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
Do they have a purchase limit?

I know the small rifle primers will work just fine in my pistol reloads. How would small pistol primers work in rifle reloads? Are they that much weaker as to cause a problem, anyone ever use them?

i havent used them myself but know someone who does. They claim the small pistol and small rifle are the same, just the rifle primers are harder and you need to make sure your pistol can strike it hard enough.

With ammo it’s 5 boxes total or if it’s a box of 250 rounds or more it’s one. Not sure on primers. I bought 5 boxes of ammo, cashed out, went to the car and changed from jacket to hoodie and went back in and bought 5 boxes more at a different cashier so I don’t know how strictly enforced it is. Also didn’t see any signs regarding primer limits.
