Primers & Ammo

[Vuduarms]

That's a bit high in price! I'm glad I still have a supply from 2 years ago.

$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.

seems about right.   no hazmat or shipping saves about 70 dollars.  Targetsports sells major US  brands.

some deals are available on line from other  stores  but they offer  servicos( from south america)  or ginex( bosnia)=10 cents a primer  delivered

choose  your flavor

I've been seeing primers show up at local stores occasionally for $70-90. They go quick! Scheels sports stores have a good selection of powder.

I have  bought  three times in the last month at my local Sportsmans Warehouse.  They limit each customer to  200 total primers per day, I  paid $5.18 per hundred.

Yes, I also have purchased primers at my local sportsmans.  They have a pile of CCI450 and that is the primer I was short on, I now have a good stock of them after a number of trips (with my wife) to pickup 400 at a time ($55/k).

I feel like maybe it is starting to ease.  It seems like the shelfs were plenty stocked with ammo the last couple of months and thus I'm hoping the components start showing up again.

Cheers,

It may be starting to ease- my local indoor range had Federal Magnum for $159.95/1000 a few weeks ago,
was in there today and they were now marked at $129.95/1000.  If I wait a few more weeks, maybe they will get close to what I would pay, but I have enough for about 18 months of shooting, so no rush.

Wow, some good prices for you guys near Sportsman Warehouses! I don't need any, but still check. I'm still seeing mostly about $90 per K for normal primers, and very limited stock. Higher for BR primers.

 I'm 75 and I've been shooting and reloading my own ammo for over 45 years but with me being retired and prices going sky high on everything I may need to find a new hobby. If I hadn't stockpiled components every election year when it looked like the stuff was going to hit the fan me and several of my close friends would have run out of primers a year ago.                           
 I refuse to pay $100 for a thousand primers so I have stopped sharing and when my stockpile of primers are gone I'll say goodbye to a life long hobby.

This site seems way too good to be true. I suspect it is a scam.


primersreloadshop.com


Can anyone vouch for them?


They were advertising as In Stock, 1,000 SPP for $40.

It’s a scam site. They don’t offer credit card payments. Instead, they only allow Zelle, cash app, bitcoin etc.

Just got an email flier advertising several sizes of primers for $549/5K from Target Sports USA.

[Roscoe2212]

I got 5k LPP from Midsouth shooters for $89 plus hazmat plus taxes, all told it was $511 to my door, about $100 cheaper than Target Sports, still 10 cents per.

 I got a brief reprieve today at the range when I heard a guy say he wished he could trade some reloading supplies for  ammo. He had sold off all his reloading equipment about 10 years ago but still had many shotgun and pistol primers in storage. I traded him three 420 round cans of Lake City 5.56 for two sealed cases of Federal small pistol and several thousand CCI large pistol primers. I passed on the shotgun primers because they were loose in a cardboard barrel but   
 the pistol primers look to be about 10 + years old and have been kept dry in a cool basement. I think I remember paying $99.00 a can for the 5.56 and he said he paid less than $20.00 per thousand for the primers. I think we were both in the right place at the right time today.

Nice score! I still got a few boxes from 2010ish that have $20 price tags. It was early in my reloading days and $29 seemed like a steal so I was always grabbing an extra K.

Of course, a decline in actual shooting makes em last longer.
