Why are small rifles primers available but no LR or LRM?

I’m getting dangerously low on Fed 210 and 215M’s. For months, I keep getting the fake out BS clickbait emails from Brownholes, Precision Reloading, Natchez, Grafs, etc. about in-stock primers but all they ever have are small rifle. Conceptually, why are these available and larger ones aren’t?
 
fed 215's have been available off and on since Nov and 215M as recent as 3 days ago

Seriously? Who’s ring do I have to kiss? And I’m not talking GB $4-500 a brick prices!

I regularly search all the reputable online retailers I know of ever few days. Nada!
 
Thanks for all the help. Still trying to understand why small rifle and pistol primers are everywhere but not the large rifle and magnums. Are manufacturers just product if more of those, or is there less demand? And does anyone else think this is intentional?

My guess is they are seeing more demand for AR and pistol ammo/reloading components than bolt action rifles and AR10’s

The problem you are having is you are asking a question that no one on an open forum will have the answer to. You will get speculators and people that "know someone".
There was a guy on another forum 4 months ago that personally "knew" someone at Federal, that told him the Government had contracted for all primers. And that the civilian market would see none for 3 years.
 
There's thousands available right now if you know where to look and willing to spend more than you would have in the past

Look at Ammoseek.com every day and place an order when what you want becomes available. Just suck it up and pay the Hazmat fee and inflated price and you will get what you need. It may not be Federal vs CCI but quality LR and LRM primers are available.
