I'm guessing those would still go bang.
Primers?
Hey all,
As you've noticed, I'm looking to get into reloading, especially 12ga and .308. In my searching, I'm noticing, and I've also been told, that primers are extremely hard to get. Is there anywhere in the province where one can get 209 primers for 12ga right now?
Thanks!

Did those come from Kevin? I hear he does not fire many😀
Checked today says muzzle loader 209's.Fed 209 muzzie stuff ?? if not, what kind and how much ??
One would have to be crazy to try them IMOI'm guessing those would still go bang.
That's what I figured ! There are a few of those Federal muzzies around.Checked today says muzzle loader 209's.
I shoot .25-06, BM. It's the only caliber that I own that I haven't worked up a load for. Shot Win Supreme Accubonds and BST out of it to the same POI and grouped 9/16" out of the Tikka, so I never bothered. They don't seem to offer the Accubond in the Supreme anymore.A few years ago.… there was not a 308 bullet to be found on the South Shore. I was selling some of my stash, since at that time …. I didn’t own a 308. Now there is tons of it. I’m guessing people who owned 308’s, got rid of them for a caliber that was easier to find ammo for ???? Now, tons of 308 … and very limited 30-06. Starting to see more calibers on the shelf again. Seems to be lots of 30-30 again. CT in B’water has a good supply of 25-06 if anyone is looking. Lots of 270, and 6.5 CM. Even some 410 back on the shelf. 12g is everywhere.… like mentioned …. But getting expensive. I have a box of cheap Remington 12g, that has a price tag of 6.99. That wasn’t that long ago. Now, the cheapest I can find is $19.99 … and will likely keep going up.
Never heard of it typo maybe?? 25-06 if so had one in a remingfton 700 and loved the caliper but had to reloasd to find ammo but that was years ago
I'm sure he meant 25-06. I don't ever recall seeing 25-06 ammo in CT.. There must be at least a dozen boxes there. I did do some research on it, and it appears to be a very versatile caliber.Never heard of it typo maybe?? 25-06 if so had one in a remingfton 700 and loved the caliper but had to reloasd to find ammo but that was years ago
Me either but this day in age one never knows Hard to keep upI'm sure he meant 25-06. I don't ever recall seeing 25-06 ammo in CT.. There must be at least a dozen boxes there. I did do some research on it, and it appears to be a very versatile caliber.
Definitely a typo. Thanks for the heads up! I did stumble into a few boxes of the ballistic silvertips at Dartmouth Basspro pre-pandemic. It's a good flat shooting cartridge and has taken antelope, elk, moose, whitetail and mulies for me!
So, it looks like I need 210M large rifle primers for my .308 and type 209 shotshell primers for my 12ga. The Gun Dealer has the 209 on sale right now. Haven't found 210M yet but I might get a chance to check flint and steel next weekend.
