Many Forum members may not realize that AccurateShooter.com is more than just a Forum. We have over 11,000 articles online, and we release content EVERY DAY -- typically three Bulletin stories a day. I've started this thread to remind folks of our content offerings, and let you know that the support of Gold and Silver Forum members is vital to our overall operation.
New Stories Every Day in Daily Bulletin, Plus Deals of the Week
Guys, we release more articles in 10 days than the NRA American Rifleman magazine does in one month. I personally write more articles than their entire team of 8 editors plus freelance writers*. That's on top of the tasks of moderating the Forum and background checking 25-30 new Forum members every day.
We run a Deals of the Week every Monday, prepared by myself and Forum member F Class John. Each one of those Deals articles represents many hours of aggressive searching for killer deals. You will save enough with one discount purchase to pay for a Silver or Gold membership.
We encourage all Forum members to support the site so we can continue to provide informative content and great money-saving deals for you.
Here are selections from today's Daily Bulletin Features:
1. How to Find Primers
bulletin.accurateshooter.com
2. Join a local shooting club. Attend meetings where you can sell/exchange products. (We recently exchanged pistol primers for rifle primers we needed).
3. Join local/regional gun forums. You may find listings for “face-to-face” transactions where you can buy/exchange primers. Our AccurateShooter Forum also has a thread on Where to Find Primers.
4. Bookmark multiple vendor websites and check daily (we provide a list below).
5. Combine resources with some shooting buddies. Get together with 3 or 4 guys and collectively scout ALL the local gunshops and outdoor stores with shooting supplies. Assign each guy a different “territory” (perhaps close to his work locations).
6. Search your garage and storage areas. This Editor recently found 5000 Winchester Small Pistol Primers in an unopened box. These were left over from his IDPA and 3-gun days, years ago.
7. Consider APS Primers. CCI sells APS primers pre-loaded in plastic strips. These can still be found gathering dust in some shops. You can remove the primers from the strips, or simply buy an APS priming tool and use them as intended.

1. How to Find Primers
Finding Primers — How to Organize Your Quest « Daily Bulletin

Consider all Possible Sources — Not Just Online Vendors
The guys who are scoring primers these days are resorting to old-fashioned methods — visiting small, mom-and-pop gunstores, checking local estate sales, and “networking” with local shooting club members. First, if you are not a member of a local shooting club, you should join for a multitude of reasons. A Forum member recently scored both powders and primers at the estate sale of a shooting club member. For the best chance of success, regularly check 6-10 brick-and-mortar locations in your region. One good way to do this is by combining forces with shooting buddies. Get together with 3 or 4 guys and collectively scout ALL the local gunshops and outdoor stores with shooting supplies. You CAN get lucky.How to Find Primers — SEVEN STRATEGIES
1. Make a list of ALL local gunshops and outdoor supply stores within a 70-mile radius. Call them on a regular basis.2. Join a local shooting club. Attend meetings where you can sell/exchange products. (We recently exchanged pistol primers for rifle primers we needed).
3. Join local/regional gun forums. You may find listings for “face-to-face” transactions where you can buy/exchange primers. Our AccurateShooter Forum also has a thread on Where to Find Primers.

2. How to Protect Your Hearing
Say What? Beware the Risks of Concussive Hearing Loss « Daily Bulletin
Did you know you can damage your hearing even if you are wearing the best hearing protection available? Well, have you ever heard of concussion (or concussive) hearing loss? There is no amount of anything you can put in or over your ears to protect you from concussion loss.
Editor’s NOTE: This a very important article that explains how you can suffer inner ear damage and hearing loss even if you use quality earplugs and/or muffs. Read that again — hearing loss even with typical hearing protection. This kind of concussive hearing loss can result from shooting with muzzle brakes in confined spaces. Using a suppressor (aka sound moderator) can reduce the risk of concussive hearing loss. You may not have the ability to use a suppressor, but this article explains how you should be more mindful of your hearing.
