I can add that Northern and Central NH, Eastern Mass and Northern Vermont appear to be picked clean as well.... Have been for the past month.
I'll be in CT, RI, Western Mass, Eastern NY later this month and I will be on the hunt.
I spoke with an Industry Rep the other day and he told me that both ATK (Federal, CCI) and Winchester have made commercial sale of Primers for reloading a very low priority behind driving up the production of ammunition. ATK is trying to reach a new goal of producing ammo at the rate of 2.4 BILLION rounds per year (up from their current 2.1 BILLION) and this has put a tremendous strain on their ability to produce primers for reloading components.
Lake City alone is producing 1.4 Billion Cartridges per year and has just landed a $481 Million contract to produce 5.56, 7.62 Nato and .50 BMG rounds.
Anyone who would like to check around for suppliers before burning up alot of gas on the hunt can use ATK's dealer locator found here:
