SR match rifle primer left in production?

[D-4297]

Realizing that every rifle is unique, I found the Rem. 7 1/2 primers to consistently be the least accurate across multiple loads and rifles

Pretty broad statement to make . My Kelby .308 likes them pretty well , and I've been finishing fairly high in local , and a Regional Match , with them . Don't think that finishing 2nd or 3rd behind former & current HM Champions , is to bad for someone in the Expert class .
But then there are a lot of the "Bow-tie Boy Crowd" that don't have much respect for a Hemi Mopar , either . Till they get beat by one .

My statement was anything but broad. It was narrow and specific to my own observations. I’m happy to hear that they work for you.

Just find it to be a unique situation ; that there is a lot of "bad-mouthing" of the Rem 7 1/2 BR primer , yet there isn't a store in the Phx. metro area that has any , or has had any , on the shelf for months now . And the clerks , FFL owners always tell me , "that one always sells out first" , so apparently I'm not the only one they work for . There junk , inconsistent , bad . Yet you can never find them on the shelf . Even when there wasn't a shortage . Bruno's had 12 boxes on the shelf , and a day later , they were gone . And that was five months ago . before the panic buying started . Somebody is buying those poor quality primers . Maybe it's a "Regional" thing , like eastern shooters preferring VLD's , while western shooters lean more towards Hybrids . Different parts of the country favor different powders , too . My first 200 - 20X came after I was forced to go to the Rem , and three more afterwards , so I'll stick with em till they're gone . If there are some of them "Junk" primers in your local area , send them out to the stores Phx. way . We'll take care of them for ya .

I find that almost laughable , Dusty . So how come I have had to drive all over freakin Phoenix for the last two years to find any 7-1/2's , if Rem doesn't have any market . This is ; after-all the heart of American F-class . Got so bad , the girls at Bruno's would hold at least one box for me , CAUSE NOBODY LIKES THOSE JUNK REM PRIMERS ! Who are you trying to kid ? Rem 7-1/2's disappear as fast as they got put up . I finally had to contact a out-of-state supplier to get some . And now I have to do all my load development all over again , for the second time . THIS SUCKS !

I know of only 2 guy's that I shoot against who use Remington 7&1/2's in competition, and their in the state that I live in. 90% of my fellow competitors use Federal 205M's or regular 205's so if there were no Remington 7&1/2's they won't be missed by most of us.

Congratulations . Losing another supplier , even if it's one "YOU" don't use , is seen as a advantage to you , and "YOUR" buds ? ...... Okay . Maybe "YOUR" supplier will be next ....And that would be regrettable to the whole shooting community . Even though I don't use "THEIR" products . Guess some people only see the picture that affects them .
