[Pete Lester]

Cheddite Primers in stock at Ballistic Products at this time 4:00PM 7/6/21. I suspect they will be gone fast.

MidwayUSA has CCI 209's in stock but they are $74.99 vs. $37.99 for the Cheddites at BP.

[Craig Larter]

Thanks Pete I was able to buy. Craig

[Craig Larter]

Pete have you seen any shotgun powders in stock?? I'm now good on primers but powder is my next concern??

[Pete Lester]

A little bit here and there, but its been awhile. Like primers it tends to be now you see it now you don't. I'll post if I see some.

[Donald McQuade]

Thanks for the heads up, I was able to snag a couple boxes.

My thanks too Pete.

I ordered and they confirmed, 5000 Cheddite Primers, the max you can order at $37.99/1000. Allow 12 - 14 days for the order to be processed and shipped.

With HazMat and shipping, they will cost me about $48.00 per 1000.

My powder situation is not too bad, for now.

That's the way to buy primers and powder online, put as much as you can on the fixed price hazmat fee.

[Gary Laudermilch]

Yes, I got 5000 as well.

[CraigThompson]

I just ordered 5,000 . Kinda strange it wasn’t allowing me to do it on line so I called and got it done. So that makes 11,000 primers in the last seven days added as well as a case of CB 20 gauge wads and an assortment of card wads . Now one or two eight pounders of Unique would be nice to stumble across .

On-line is a relative term. A friend reported he could not put a number in the quantity box and he thought they were sold out. Then he tried ordering using a computer instead of his phone and it went through. Another thing to try when something on-line is not working is to try another web browser from what you are using. Chrome can't do it all.

That’s the same thing it did to me . I entered and it didn’t show I went to the cart and it showed like $500 plus . And that was on my phone . So I called and supposedly no problem . I bought 6,000 a few days earlier from a guy on Gunbroker for considerably more .

[charlie cleveland]

they still had some about 11.30 this morning I got the 5000 primers..thanks pete for the tip...... Charlie now if I just can find some bluedot powder....

[Doug Schoenung]

Thank you for the tip! Appreciate it.

[john pulis]

BPs wed site read “in stock” so just ordered several thousand this AM, no problem. Awaiting email confirmation. Maybe the shortage is beginning to abate.

[CraigThompson]

I just wanted to see if they still had any and as of 11 AM today out of stock :whistle:

[john pulis]

That was fast. Email confirmation stated 7-14 days to ship.

[John Dallas]

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but are Cheddites dimensionally the same as 209's?

[CraigThompson]

I’ve had no issue so far in anything from a 10 to a 410 .

[Bill Jolliff]

John,

Those Cheddite primers are 209's.

Dimensionally, they are maybe one or maybe two thousandths larger in diameter than US brand 209's.

If you use a single stage loader or a manually operated progressive loader, like a MEC Grabber, you will notice a little more effort to prime a hull that had previously US primers.

After the that, they feel about the same.

I've used Cheddites and went back to using Winchester 209's and they prime just fine.

That's my experience.

Your experience was the same as mine . I first as a test set loaded two 410 with WIN 209’s fired them then loaded again with the Cheetos primers and fired them no problem . Then I loaded WIN 209’s in the same hulls again and tapped them n a block of wood plenty to see if they’d loosen or move but no cigar .

I’ve not gotten an email confirmation but they hit my card already .

[Craig Larter]

As of this morning BP had Cheddite primers back in stock and Clays powder in stock. It appears the reloading supply shortage is improving, fingers crossed. Our local reloading and ammo supplier has been getting in some loaded shotgun target loads, Federals and Gun Clubs seem to be sporadically available.

[john pulis]

Yes, BP still had both as of 7:15. I hope this suggests the shortage is abating.

[Bill Jolliff]

Graf and Sons as of right now has a variety of Alliant powders and I think a couple others.

$9.95 shipping and $19.50 HazMat plus sales tax.

I just got an 8 pound jug of Alliant Extra Light and 2 - 4 pounds of 20/28.

[john pulis]

BP sent an invoice copy yesterday, billed to CC, and expect to ship primers next week. I called Hogdons and the CS rep from their reloading WS said they may have 700x in 8 lbs in two weeks. Let’s hope so.

[charlie cleveland]

I got my primers in 2 days ago

[john pulis]

Good to hear. They are slowly filling orders.

[Gary Laudermilch]

My for primers arrived 10 days after I ordered them. More amazingly Fed Ex moved the order from MN to my door in 24 hours.

I wish I could say the same for billing. They billed the correct amount to my card but then proceeded to bill a second charge for a different significant amount. I am now four phone calls into the effort to get my card credited for this second charge. The last time they said it would be corrected within the hour. Yea right, it is now 2 business days since and still no credit. I'll be on the phone again tomorrow.

[Andrew Sacco]

Rookies. They charged my card for $4,200 for product I ordered (5K Cheddite) which were not actually in stock but showed being in stock due to someone cancelling an order. They charged it in four seconds, took 10 days to refund it. It was a "keypad error" I was told, but they were pleasant at least.

[john pulis]

FX called last night and the primers are due this am, signature required. That is 14 days as they stated. Yaphank Shooting range has lead, 8-9 shot, for 45 a 25 lb. bag. They have 40 bags. Not sure if they will ship, but if your on or near LI…

[CraigThompson]

I got my 5,000 from BPI friday I believe and the 6,000 I bought on GB showed up today . So I'm back at 20,000+ :bigbye:

Did you find a bargain on Gunbroker?

[CraigThompson]

Did you find a bargain on Gunbroker?

No not at all . But I bought them maybe a week before you posted about BPI . I get a little tense if I don’t have what I think is a good surplus , so I took a plunge . Think i struck a deal today for a 4 pounder of Unique . But that’ll be a no money straight trade .

[john pulis]

Primers arrived an hour ago.
