Anybody got a lead on either Federal 209a or CCI 209m primers? Needing some to shoot BH before long.

Good luck. Hate to buy a brick and eat shipping for mler. Will be watching this thread. Checked Walmart last week, very slim on what they had, but they had some new to the store items in the way of grinders and other processing stuff.

Walmart gun counter lady today told me they won't get primers for ml'ers back until next year. I should have enough to get by for this year, but will check academy in Jackson this week.

I ordered a thousand Federal and broke them up (except for the few hundred I kept) and sold them in two days for 20$ per hundred. Sounds high, but by the time I got the thousand to me, I had $159.00 in them. Paid $22.50 haz mat fee, $24.00 shipping, and $11.00 in sales tax. So if you can find a thousand, it's still cheaper for guys to buy em for $20 than pay all the dang fees….

Local wally world had federal 209mz for 9.93 per 100. I picked some up but would like to have some 209A if anyone wants to swap some.

Walmart in Bartlett and Covington had them recently. I need 209s to reload some 12g blackpowder cowboy action shells. Should have grabbed a box or two, don't really like shooting smokeless in s 1910 at the newest break action.
What I can't find locally is number 10 or 11 percussion caps. Ruger Old Army, T/C Hawken, Lyman Great Plains, don't have any inlines, were not legal for ML season in WA.

More than what I would have liked to pay, but Academy in Jackson has some https://www.academy.com/p/winchester-triple-se7en-209-muzzleloading-primers. I just ordered 2 sleeves for pickup so I don't get there and them be sold out.
Academy in Hixson. SR, LR and 209 (shotgun not ML). 8.99 and 9.99 yesterday.

Most of the Walmarts have them right now.
I know Fayetteville, Shelbyville and Tullahoma had them as of last week.

Local Walmarts just got them in.
I'd trade 20 209s for 20 #11s in a heartbeat. Can't find 11s to save my life.

I have 1,000 of the Federal 209A primers on the way. I don't need em all so if anyone on the east end needs a few, send me a message. $15.00 per 100. I also found a full tin of 100 RWS #11 caps and another tin with 71 in it. Can't swear to the age, but they have been kept in temp controlled environment. They must be as hard to come by as the 209A. I'll take $25 for all of them. I can't ship either so they would be a pick up in the far east end of the state…

South Jackson Walmart had a couple tins of #11 caps, and a bunch of Federal 209ML primers when I was in there last week. Check your local store, you might get lucky.

What primers are y'all using for your smokeless conversions? I have a CVA scout conversion as an FYI.

Winchester 209 shotgun primers. Other brands will work. The thing about shotgun primers is that they develop a lot of pressure. Federal 209a's develop the most pressure. In all our testing, Federal weren't as accurate. My belief is that they push the bullet off the charge before the charge is fully ignited. That's why I use winchesters in the only 209 sml I have left.
For module guns, I use Federal large rifle magnum primers. Rifle primers don't have the pressure issue.

Cci large rifle Magnum is what i use. But they are extremely hard to find and when you do better have someone behind you when you fall out from the shock from the price

Would CCI large Rifle primer #200 work?
