I was at Olde English Outfitters last week and they had several 8lb cans on their shelf.
Plenty of primers too, all brands

I was in the local Gander Mountain this AM. Lots of CCI primers of all kinds- $4.99 + tax a hundred. Federal small pistol - $4.99 + tax a hundred. CCI BR4 - $7.50 + sales tax a hundred. You would think they were made of silver not plated brass.  I thought I would wonder over to the powder cabinet; it was full - $29.95/pound :o for most of it. Stopped by the Bullet shelves - Sierra 52 grain .224 bullets - $150 for 500 :o I guess they do not want my business very badly >:(. It would not take a whole lot to make up haz-mat fees at that price. Well at least the supply is coming back.

Gander changed policy a while back and gun prices, ammo and reloading supplies and have moved into the realm of the ridiculous ???  A quick trip into the local shops will save you alot of money ;)

Everyone needs to remember who these places are that our gouging reloaders.

CCI primers both std and mag $26.50 Rem 9.5 & WWLR $29.50 all as of yesterday

First time in several years I have seen Fed GM215M primers $33.50

Varget powder $21.50lb or $137.50 for #8
Remember it's where the first bullet goes out of a cold barrel that counts most.

May not be your local shop's fault for the high prices, easily could be the wholesaler.
I see no reason to be hateful to the local shop until you have proof

for those in the Memphis area, Avery Outdoors Outlet has the best selection and prices in the area.  Alittle off the broken path on Cumberland off Broad..but they had it in stock!
