Are your reloading primers in stock right now?

Yes. Everything shown as in stock on this page is physically in our Fredericksburg, Virginia warehouse and ready to ship. We update inventory in real time, and you can join our email list for restock alerts the moment new primers land.

Do primers require HAZMAT shipping?

Yes. By federal law, primers ship as hazardous materials via ground carriers. Many of our primer listings include free HAZMAT shipping, so the listed price is the full price. Primers cannot ship to some jurisdictions with special restrictions; check your local laws.

Are factory-seconds primers safe and reliable?

Factory-seconds primers may have failed a cosmetic inspection or might have a slightly higher misfire rate (which is still incredibly low). They are safe and great for practice, and come off the same production lines as first-quality primers. We recommend them for volume range and practice loads, and first-quality primers for match and hunting ammunition where absolute consistency matters most.

What's the difference between standard and magnum primers?

Magnum primers deliver a hotter, longer ignition flame for large cases, heavy charges of slow-burning ball powders, and very cold conditions. Standard primers suit most common loads. When switching between them, reduce your charge and work back up using published load data.

Can I buy primers in bulk?

Yes. We sell primers in 1,000-count packs through 5,000-count cases and larger, with bulk pricing that's usually among the lowest online. High-volume and OEM buyers can contact wholesale@ravenrocksprecision.com.

What primer brands do you carry?

Our regular lineup includes Ginex, WRE, factory-seconds lines, and lead-free primers from RUAG, with additional brands (like Fiocchi) arriving as closeout and distributor lots are secured. We have a rotating selection, which is the nature of the primer market. We strive to keep core sizes stocked and will continue to offer a more robust selection as our business grows.

Do you sell lead-free primers?

Yes. We stock lead-free primers for indoor ranges, training environments, and shooters reducing lead exposure. Raven Rocks Precision is one of the few US retailers that regularly stocks lead-free primers and projectiles.

Why are primers so hard to find?

Primer manufacturing capacity is limited, demand surges with market events, and most production goes to loaded-ammunition plants before reaching retail. As a distributor with direct manufacturer relationships, Raven Rocks Precision buys at volume, which is why we have primers in stock when many stores don't.

FAQs for Safari & Dangerous Game Components

Raven Rocks Precision stocks 470 Nitro Express brass and loaded ammunition, along with other Nitro Express and big-bore safari calibers. We are one of the few US retailers that regularly carries these components in stock and ready to ship.

Our rotating safari inventory includes 375 H&H Magnum, 416 Rigby, 416 Taylor, 404 Jeffery, 500 Jeffery, 470 Nitro Express, 500 Nitro Express, 505 Gibbs, 9.3x62, and other big-bore and dangerous-game cartridges, to include brass, bullets, and select loaded ammunition.

Yes. Raven Rocks Precision is one of only two nationwide Woodleigh Bullets distributors, stocking their premium bonded softs and solids for dangerous-game calibers.

Solids (monolithic or full-jacketed non-expanding bullets) are built for deep, straight-line penetration on thick-skinned game like buffalo and elephant. Bonded soft points expand for larger wound channels on lion and plains game. Many professional hunters load both — softs first, solids to follow — and we stock matched pairs in most safari calibers.

Yes, regularly. Double rifles run on rimmed and flanged cartridges — 470 Nitro Express, 500 Nitro Express, 375 Flanged Magnum, and similar — and we routinely stock new brass for them from Norma and other premium makers, along with Woodleigh bullets to load in them. These are exactly the components most stores never carry. If you're loading for a vintage double, start with published data for your specific rifle and confirm chamber dimensions with a qualified gunsmith.

Everything shown as in stock ships from our Fredericksburg, Virginia warehouse. Safari components rotate as lots arrive — join our email list for restock alerts on hard-to-find calibers.
