Swap: - Federal GM210M primers
I have 550 Federal GM210M large rifle primers that I no longer have a use for. Am looking to swap for Federal GM205M small rifle primers on a like for like basis, preferably all 550 in one go if anyone has any? Alternatively will swap for 1kg of N140 with cash adjustment. Face to face only...

I have a hard time getting these in the US. ~MuirI know they're like rocking horserecently. But it's getting crazy. Anyone know where you can purchase large rifle primers (preferably federal 210m) in Cambridgeshire or that matter anywhere in England that isn't Cornwall?
Many thanks
Seen that Remington are now pumping them out again.
Do you think that Vista Outdoor owning 3 of the 4 major primer manufacturers (CCI, Federal and Remington Ammunition) means they are throttling capacity to keep stock levels low and prices high?
Most likely. This is why I buy components when I see a good price -not when I need them. When distributors hold their product for ransom, I just walk past.
That said, Shooters are their own worst enemy. When you can't get what 'works' in your gun, move on and find something else. What can it hurt? I stumbled on to S&B Small Rifle Primers that way. When there were no other primers, the shop had S&B in quantity covered in dust due to the snobbery of the local reloaders. Out of curiosity, I bought 2K, tried them, came back and bought all the stock he had. When Lovex powders hit the market here, and were very inexpensive, I bought heavily in 8 pound kegs and some scattered 1 pounders. I got great results and gave 1 pound cans to reloading friends ...who still haven't tried them.
Reloaders need to take off the blinders...especially in these times.~Muir
no. the demand is there plus a war that no doubt we will supply, plus the demand required for factory ammo production. They all need primers.
There was a stall at the Phoenix today which appeared to have plenty of CCI primers plus a goodly showing of Viht & RS powders - CCI 400 primers were advised at £15/100 so who knows how much they wanted for the powder… I walked on.
Even I can do the math on a box of 1000!

Paul,
Been there and done it, but don’t see the need to hoard.
Just bought 1000 SPPs and they’ll last me 6 months. If there’s no small (rifle or pistol) primers on the shelves by then I’ll do without, but I can still go to muzzle loading.
Think I have around 600 LRPs but as they’re mainly for stalking I won’t need to look for more of them in a hurry.
