So, I've been dabbling in the PRS world for a few years. Don't consider myself a pro or a FNG. Definitely still learning. So far all I've been shooting is a .308, the R700 AAC-SD. Which I have enjoyed. Though, I really want to venture into the 6mm world after some nice folks let me shoot their decked out 6 mms. Mistake, I know. It was like a night/day difference. I've been looking at the 6 gay tiger and I'm very intrigued. The gayness does very little to deter me.
What is deterring me, is knowing that I must make my own rounds, which I am fully capable of doing. Its just getting the $Y*@^ primers! Jesus! Do they exist? I'm beginning to think they never actually did. I look at the last 50 or so of my large rifle primers I have in my gun case periodically to remind myself they did exist at one time. It's all not one great illusion. But what's a guy got to do to secure some small rifle primers in today's world? How many dongs to I have to chug? 2? 5? 10? Do I have to offer up my first born? I don't want to place any orders until I know I can produce the rounds reliably. Otherwise, my rifle is just a really expensive paper weight. I've thought about the 6 Creedmore since you can buy rounds off the shelf, but those are costing $40-50 for a box of 20. F me. Why do I have to have expensive hobbies?
At any rate, is anyone else in the same boat as me? How do people buy primers these days? Also, should I encounter primers for sale, which is recommend for the 6 gt? Standard or Magnum and why? I know they exist because when I go to a match, all I hear are shooters "whipping em out and measuring" by bragging about how many primers they have in storage. Oh and they'll sell for twice what they bought them for. Maybe that's my weakness? If I didn't care about losing all dignity buying from a scalper, I'd have the 6 gay tiger I so desire. Sigh. But my conscience and will power remain immovable. So I guess I'm only left to dream of shooting a 6 mm. It's something I can watch others do, but never fully experience. *Cries in .308*
