kip270 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Why does there seem to be a problem getting hold of small rifle primers?? where did they all go?? My local RFD says it could be another 5 weeks! Why?? Blame BUSH & BLAIR, how many rounds do you think they are using in Iraq/Afganistan??? SA80=5.56/.223 and the yanks use the same calibre= NO small rifle primers for us :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that even some US police departments are having severe problems getting supplies, and as we know most americans dont go to the shop for a pint of milk without at least 1000 rounds of link and a couple of clips for the glock (only kidding should any of our colonial cousins read this ) ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Zapp, that had me in stitches... A great mental image worthy of Tackleberry from Police Academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 i wonder if it has anything to do with the aligant powders problem, where they have stoped importing other manufactors powders, which is why i now cant get any powder for my .223 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 It is the war Nick, Federal landed a muuuaasive contract to supply ammo, so I would guess people who were using theirs are now buying up the others. Alliant powder <should> be coming back into the UK in the next few weeks or so, there is a thread about on here somewhere mry called the importers to check and Reloading Solutions confirmed the same.
