I've seen them around here from $37 per 1,000 to $50 per 1,000.

I bought 25 K Tula primers From Powder Valley last summer for around 25 per k.
Saw some yesterday locally for 35 per K.
LL, I know how fast 9 mm can go. My daughter and I went thru 400 rounds of 45 and 38 in a few hours without any problem. Those dang handguns eat lead and primers quick. I just had to razz you a bit. That coating kit does do a heap of bullets. Make per bullet cost pretty low.
I just wish I had bought more SPP, I only got 5 K and I didn't have a 9 mm at that time. I suppose that means I need to shoot more 45?
Yep. Shoot more 45. I have more LPP than SPP so I shoot more. However, it depletes lead faster so I don't think I'm winning...
I get more lead from the berm than I shoot so I don't suppose I should complain about higher lead cost. I gathered almost 1400 pounds of spent bullets this year so I think I am well ahead.
I need to hit the berms, but I have been procrastinating. Smelting ranks up there with case trimming on my list of stuff I hate to do. It's easier, and almost cheaper, to buy lead out of the S&S for 1.00 per lb.
I don't mind smelting. Far better than trimming cases!
I can do a couple 5 gal buckets in an afternoon and end up with around 300 pounds of ingots. I have almost 4 buckets still to smelt and have over 1000 pounds in ingots already.
I have more lead than coating.
I know!
Here we are wanting data on this new coating and he is sitting in a tree!
The dry coating sounds like it will be the hot ticket. I am looking forward to it becoming available here in the states.
midway usa: 5000 to the door/$166.00. Iam running in my new super 1050.
That is cheap primers...
Hooroo.

Because it is very easy to coat large amounts quickly, when you do something dumb like I seem to have, you also can screw up a lot very quickly LOL.
I coated thousands (litterally) once, then sized them all , then during the second coating, the issues I was having came to light.
See the samples I sent you. Therfore I have 8 4litre icecream containers full of once coated and size boolits to remelt and start again with.
The ones in the picture above is the 4th pot load , just before they melt.
Don't worry about life, no-one gets out alive.
Any odors or anything when they melt?
Melt them outside as said above. Also, ensure you stir very well. The coating acts alot like jackets when smelting. The should rise to the top, but a good stir is required to get them all to come up.
