Midway has been dropping primers the last 30 minutes or so of different types and sizes
Primers in Stock — Listings only NO DISCUSSION
- Thread starter DangerRanger
- Start date
It is possible to get through if you happen to be holding your phone when in stock notice comes in
Midway is at least limiting amounts which helps them last more than 1 minute.
Some of the others that don't have a purchase cap sell out In seconds it seems like.
I got some br4s from that last midway drop though so it is possible to catch them still
'Dropping' primers, meaning what, scattering them on the ground like bird seed?
Do you mean Midway has been offering primers for sale?
Same.
I have had phone in hand on several occasions over the last two weeks and tried ordering immediately. Got one brick from PV yesterday and that’s it. Most of the other times the website freezes up due to the amount of people visiting the site at that time and nothing can be ordered. Once it actually loads they are sold out.
I never get the in stock notice and have been signed up for months.
Same here signed up and check all the time and haven’t got lucky so far.
I just got in to reloading last year so I am way behind. I check all of the sites I know about multiple times daily and have not gotten one single primer. It's to the point that I am ready to give up. I see people post that they have purchased brick after brick, I dont know how they are doing it.

I just posted this response a few minutes ago on another primer thread. It might be of interest to you:
Check all your local GSs first. You might be pleasantly surprised. Another alternative is to make the rounds of some of the major online vendors several times a day and hope you get lucky. Watching for "primers in stock" threads here at A.S. is another way you might be able to snag some. Finally, as painful as it may seem, there are still primers available at Gunbroker. If you search carefully using the "Buy Now" feature, you can find some. You can expect to pay approximately 10X the typical pre-pandemic/election hysteria cost. Nonetheless, if you can pick 500 or 1000 primers for $200-$300, you'd have enough to shoot for some period, during which you can continue to diligently search for additional primers at a more reasonable cost. Yes, paying those prices would be a painful lesson, but it doesn't have to hurt too badly, and should serve as a future reminder to keep better track of reloading component availability.
If anyone wants to get seriously ripped off, there are sm rifle primers here : https://mtncitysupply.net/1000ct-cci-400-small-rifle-primers/ - note it says shipped in 3-4 weeks
Good, because I'm going to stock up even more. When it's readily available, I'll have plenty x 2.

I'm good for next 5 years while feeding 15 regularly shot rifles hoss!
Every single component I own was bought when prices were either normal or on sale years ago.
