I'll give you twice what you paid for the whole lot in a one time only offer;)

Gees! $1.49 for primers, those must be the good ol' days you guys talk about! Looks like you should be able to use or sell everything, i wish i could luck into one of those deals sometime!

i'm still loading those white boxes of win primers, and have some much older.
I just finished up loading a bunch of domed primers [marked 0.49]
i still have some white boxes of Remington LR primers to shoot-up.
they have either 0.69 or .89 on some of them.

Great haul! You can have some FUN with that stuff. I remember prices like that. We didn't know how good we had it then.

Very nice

[TheGrimReaper]

Yea, I rember my dad having the same stuff.

[Bo1]

I still have thousands of old CCI's in the old white & red & green boxes...

[Beerd]

and someday someone will have thousands of primers priced at $4.95 per 100 and think it's a real treasure.

It's good to have friends like you do 45bpcr.

This lets you know what your money is really worth. With the ever increasing cost of dealing with government and the fact that they are printing cash like toilet paper. Soon it will be less expensive to shred greenbacks and load them in shells.

I got some old cci primers I use that have 12.95 on the carton. I haven't had to get into the new ones yet. I remember getting a brand new Model 70 Winchester 270 for my birthday. My dad bought it for $110. The sales clerk read the tag wrong and was going to give it to him for $11. But he stopped her. Still have the gun.

I have some of the greatest customers in the world. The people who dropped that off aren't members of the gun culture like we are. But they're not anti's either. They just really appreciate the things we do for them, their friends, and their family. Her dad was an avid pistol shooter and reloader.
The 2 Square Deals have dies for 9mm, 10mm/40SW, 357/38, 45acp, and 44mag/spc.
It's cool because I'll set them both up next to my 550 and have 2 dedicated pistol presses.
They were thrilled for me and my wife when we took much time away from this place last year to compete in BPCR silhouette down in Ridgeway.
Customers love my youtube vids. about shooting
And, their thinking about joining the NRA even though they don't shoot as I give a 5% discount to all NRA members.
I told'em, "hell, I'll buy you a membership" and still give you the 5% :-)

Yes, I still have those kind of primers, too.
My Hornady boxes look like that, too.

Highest I have ever paid for primers is $22/1000, about 8-9 months ago.
