My brother and I have been looking for small pistol primers online lately, and it’s been a bit tricky. Some websites sell out fast, while others have confusing ordering systems. Have other reloaders in the USA had the same experience when trying to buy small pistol primers online?

One website that keeps coming up in discussions is Liberty Forge Co, which sells small pistol primers directly on their site. It seems convenient because you can order from home and have them delivered. Do you find online ordering easier than checking local stores, or do you prefer seeing the product before buying?

Another question we’ve been talking about is quantity. Should we buy in bulk when ordering online, or just stick to what we need now? My brother prefers bulk to avoid running out, while my friend is concerned about safe storage. How do you decide when ordering primers from an online source?

Pricing and shipping are also factors. Does anyone in the US notice big differences in cost when ordering small pistol primers online versus locally? For us, a reliable website with stock, like Liberty Forge Co, seems more important than finding the absolute cheapest option.

Finally, for those who recently bought primers online, what tips do you have for avoiding delays or stock shortages? Are there particular times of the month that sellers are more likely to have small pistol primers in stock? We’re curious how other US reloaders manage their online primer purchases.
