I am driving from Corpus to Dallas on Sunday evening and then driving back Tuesday evening. Probably taking 77 most of the way. Anybody know of a shop that I could pick up LR and SP primers along the way?

WOLF/TULA PRIMER APPLICATION CHART FOR ALL PRIMERS**-**http://www.mpzflame....uction/primers/
Wolf and Tula are two of the common U.S. marketing names of primers made by**Murom**(OJSC «Murom Apparatus Producing plant» "For many years, our constant partners are «The Tula Cartridge Works», «Barnaul Cartridge Plant» and others.").
NOTE 1:** According to Speer/CCI Technical Services - Both the CCI 550 Small Pistol Magnum and CCI 400 Small Rifle primers are identical in size.** Both primers use the same cup metal and share the same cup thickness.** Both primers use the same primer compound formula and same amount of primer compound.** They can be used interchangeably.
Last time I bought primers I paid $65 and $45 per thousand. back then I thought 2,000 large rifle primers and 2,000 small pistol primers would last forever. I started shooting a lot more around 4-5 years ago. If only I had known...best of luck finding them may you locate a giant hoard you can buy and afford . it's been 2 weeks here since I saw my last store with primers . boy do I miss them 98.00 per 1k no tax .
That's why I'll go 77. I'll get to Waco and then hit 35Nice ride until you hit Austin and the death star I-35.
Scheels looks good. They are open late so I can hit them up after school.Scheels in colony TX
