Primers & Ammo

[Wobbly]

Target Sports USA is sending out notices that they have ammo and primers in stock.

Yup. Received my notification as well. $599 for 5K pieces of primers with free shipping.

Thanks Mr. Wobbly, Is $120.00 the "new" norm for 1K primers??

[Auslander]

$120 is probably the new norm if they are shipping “free.”  No hazmat charges?

I’ve been getting lucky at my local shop but they are running between $75 and $90 per K depending upon brand. Just payed $90 for a box on Friday for Federal 100’s. You also have to religiously stalk the place to get them and they limit to a 1000.

Thanks for posting.

I've been using shootingbot.com.    I've bought 6k primers, at Brownells, for a little over $100/k shipped.   4k Federal and 2k Winchester.

I surely hope not!  I bet it will settle around 50-60 per k.  That is double what they were going for pre plandemic.  Just need demand to drop a bit more and stocks to rise.  They will start dropping in price.

Cheers,

$85/k in my neck of the wood. $120 seems out of place.

I don't think we'll know where primer prices will settle until Federal resumes selling them to the public. Over the last few weeks factory ammo availability has greatly improved, at least in my area(East TN).

Thanks Smitty. I just signed up and set up alerts for some powder and primers.

Same around here, about $85 per K before taxes. But that same price online ballons with tax, hazmat and delivery fees. $120 all in, to your door, is probably near average these days. But that's for name brand stuff. I'm not familiar with the primers linked here. Not putting them down, just never shot any of them.

I got an email blast today from one of the major suppliers, bragging about having primers in stock. Yes, they had them, but I quickly deleted it when I saw $199.99/1k for Winchester SPP and $230 for small rifle - plus shipping and hazmat!

Gee, it's almost like they don't want you making ammo....

Well, they made no money off the primers they couldn't get for two years, so maybe they're making up for lost time?

As of right now natchezss.com has Federal small pistol primers in stock. They’re the pricier gold medal ones, but you can get 10k of each.

 Powder Valley has a small selection of powder in stock.
