That's not a bad price in this day and age until one adds in the Hazmat and shipping charge.

Yeah, that's the killer there. Cabela's online store has Remington SPP's available on their website, so I'm wondering if they have some in the store. I really don't want to pay $50 for a $30 box of primers.

The hazmat fee is the same whether your order 1M or 10M primers as long as it's in the same shipment. The trick is to get someone to split up an order and then the tare won't be so heavy. If you're anywhere near a Cabela's see what they have in stock.

I tumble first, before deprime, because I don't want to clean primer pockets, at all.

Actually, I tumble before and after depriming. I don't want dirty MT's in my dies and I don't want greasy cartridges in my shooters. Did I mention that I have the spare time?

A whole lot of manuals are incorporated into this site, not the least of which is mucho load data for various calibers.

Cabelas in Buda sometimes has small pistol primers, though they are more likely to have magnum rather than standard.

I found a 1,000 Magnum LP primers in a good gun store in Cody, WY last October. The store owner told me, as have others on this forum, to reduce your powder charge by 10% when using Magnum primers. IOW, take the primers when you find 'em.

Reloading used to be cost effective, many years ago when shot cost $8/bag, and I'd shoot maybe a 1,000 shotgun rounds in a weekend. Since then, I've never found reloading of the common handgun loads to to be particularly cost effective; however, it is something to do and I do have .380 ammo, et al, when others don't.

We put 11,000 miles on the truck and RV this past summer. I looked for and found both large and small pistol primers by looking in every gun store we passed. BTW, there are some Wal-Marts that carry reloading components. The point is - look everywhere and sooner or later, you will find some primers.

Enjoy your new pastime.
