CCI 450's In-Stock?
- Thread starter TAMU20
- Start date
Just picked up 2k CCI 450 and 5k CCI 500 locally. Shelf was plenty on other primer brands, as well (federal and winchest SRP, LRP). This was in SW WA.
I just received 50,000 of them a week ago, and received 30,000 6wks ago
they’re available but from what I’m noticing is they aren’t selling in small quantities

LOL yup, only have these few at home, shop has way more. Last week we also received a 55gal drum of 115gr 9mm bulletsYour house?
we gotta keep our range customers in ammo or they don’t come out to shoot.
I have several distributors that supply me. Having a 06 FFL “manufacturer of ammo” helps get in with these companies. Granted when I buy 100,000 primers I’m also buying 50,000 bullets at premium prices. Everything at my supplies have gone up across the board, Covid & elections have caused mass increase in ammo & range sales/usage. Since March we’ve had record months of attendance and ammo. I only sell for range use and it’s is hard for us to keep stocked on the shelves with 12 Mark7 1050’s running (not all at the same time).
most of my suppliers now have a “no back order” policy and quote next year delivery dates. Luckily I’ve always had 10 case back orders with everything I need in ammo components and through this scare I’ll just get by to keep open the range. People don’t shoot if the don’t have ammo.
Says the guy in about the furthest spot south in America... ever come up north to central tx?

Because of their connections, try your local reloading shop- it's where I found mine (large rifle, tho).
All of the primers are going to the ammo manufacturers as mentioned. Until ammo demand dies down you're not likely to see them.
But hey, you can buy green tips from CTD for $2/round. I can't believe anyone buys anything from those assholes- every time there's a shortage, they price gouge. Fuck 'em.

I've got 300+ fireformed .260 AI cases that use SRP, and when I found some large primers in stock at a local place, I decided it was worth it to buy LRP brass and fireform it rather than wait around for more CCI 450 to show up. I've learned my lesson - from now on, in times of plenty, I'm going to just buy extra and grow a gradual stockpile of things I need.
My reloading shipments have been cut in half. Before I’d get small pistol primers in about 100k per order. Not I’m lucky to get 20k. So now I’ve ventured into buying from other sources but having to pay dearly for them. But if I don’t have ammo for my customers I don’t have range customers. So for me, it hurts two fold to not have components.
but hey, in the next administration reloading supplies should come back
