Good afternoon all.
I am starting out on my reloading adventure and I am after 100 large rifle primers. I have sourced everything else I need to get a beautiful FN Herstal in 300WSM that I recently inherited up and running. I will learn my craft using some small rifle primers I brought to run a rifle in 5.56 I have. so any large rifle primers I'm lucky enough to come across will not be wasted. I'm based in Auckland, hope your all staying dry..
Thats like advertising for a wife, who’s a supermodel, corden bleu cook, loves hunting and has been left squillions of dollars to help worthy causes
I’m sure they exist, but…..
Good luck :thumbsup:
Can we send primers in the post?? Or is that frowned apon now days?
what they dont know........and all that...... apparently...answering for a friend LMFAO.

I think they can be sent cant they? One of the last things stores were sending anyway?
Just had a look online. Firearms, firearm parts and ammo are a no no, doesn't say anything about ammo parts such as primers so I can't see an issue.
From NZ Post..
Air guns
Ammunition
Bullets
Firearms
Firearms partsą
Firearms accessories*
Grenades (inc. imitation ones)
Weapons, including bows, crossbows and arrows, harpoons, spear guns, sling shots, catapults, swordsticks
Stun guns, tasers and stun baton
I have had primers sent to me thru the post by one supplier, no probs. Another supplier would only send them as dangerous good to a freight depot in Auckland city for me to collect. Passed on that deal.
Recently received an inert Mills 36 in the post.
I'm obviously prepared to pay for them to get into reloading and postage too, plus photos to show I'm not some scumbag on selling them 🤔
yeah we could go with that...while laughing my farkin arse off...Quote:

Situation must be bad, just had a look on tardme and someone has a single box of 100 primers for $100?
It is a right mess. I'm getting into reloading for two reasons, firstly to learn, to get better at distance and secondly to overcome shortages by creating my own. It doesn't solve the second problem though with primers being very hard to get and powder more difficult.
Have you tried Reloading Direct in Hamilton? They were showing primers in stock the other day when I looked
you have two fellas who have both offered to send you 100 ....thats you sorted ,much thanks to the fellas doing so is needed.... GOOD ON YA fellas.
Just had a look for large rifle and magnums, all cleared out at reloading direct. Thanks though.
Thanks Micky Duck, will be eagerly checking the letter box in the weeks to come 🤣
its not me you need to be thanking LOL....
https://gunworks.co.nz/shop/item/fed...magnum-primers
gunworks have Federal Large Rifle Magnum Primers (Stock #215) in stock and say they will send north and south island excluding PO box and rural
At a cost of $25 on top for freight. But if you need them you need them.......
Good to see they changed their tune as they weren't sending them over the straight for quite a while
Thanks Charlie, I am dispatching a family member to try and collect some on my behalf. Hope he can get there in time. North island seems plucked dry..
Trademe 100$ for 100 federal 210 and people are buying them and in usa it's only 80nz $ for 1000 bugger me .
How many people out there are sitting on a few thousand 210s or 215s and thinking hmmmm....flick a couple of packets off and get that new piece of kit that I could never really justify/afford.Quote:

Rifle primers in the USA remain in short supply currently. Some suppliers are selling at fair prices but there's also quite a lot of primers offered on websites at inflated prices, which are also selling. Buyers feeling they have no option are paying those ridiculous prices ( in some instances even higher than here ). Of course they hate that, as much as any of us do, and want normailty restored.Quote:
