Primer Prices...

[mjwcaster]

Watch eBay for the Cabela's gift cards.
$82 for $100 gift card.
Sometimes even better deals come up, but that is the best I have found in a year or so.

I just used the gift card and the latest $20 coupon.

Guess what I bought?
4k cci small pistol.
They were on sale for the same price as the s&b sp.
So for ~$87 I got 4k primers.

The Hammond store had several brands of sp primers in stock, best selection I have seen in years there.

And I was at a job less than 15 miles away, so I didn't even need to make a special trip.

Sometimes things actually do work out.

any idea what that equates to in colonial money?

Around $60/1000 at todays rate.

Current conversion is one pound = $1.32.
I haven't tracked it for years, but that seems much lower than I remember.

Was passing near Mexico, MO a couple weeks ago and snagged the last 5K of their Federal SPs (my preferred for the .38/357's) for $150 and change. Little more than I'm used to paying but Federals are either 'out of stock-no backorder' or substantially overpriced everywhere that has them on hand.

Stopped in at a Field & Stream because I had some gift cards to use. Won a gun at a raffle and didn't want the gun so I took the monetary value. Didn't have many primers but the ones they did, CCI, were on sale for $39.99. Thought about using all the money on them because it's literally free money. But I bought a rifle instead.

$59.35

Thankfully I stocked up when prices were good. None of my primers are more than $25/k except some 209 STS's...Those are stupid expensive now.

Well that is why Midway is offering free HM, to get business. I order all the time from Midway, but never powder or primers. I usually will add a few 1000 primers when placing a powder order with PV, just to pad the HM. Even my local guy though is ok on primer prices, $30 for cci or win, $33 for fed $28 & $30 @ PV). I just hate paying the state of Crappyfornia 8% ST! Plus it is a solid 45m drive each way to the local guy. Not a pleasant exp in traffic here.

I get Winchester primers (large rifle, large rifle magnum, small rifle, and small pistol) for 31.99 per 1k locally (right at the store-- no shipping or hazmat), which seems like a reasonably good deal to me.

I place about 4 orders a year with them. Just received 40 pounds of CFE and 10K primers. Ordered on Friday received on Tuesday. Longest I have ever had was two days processing time before shipping. During last panic they were claiming they were two weeks behind.

That is great. Two weeks is about what i experienced. But that was quite a while ago.

During various panics their front page would state how long their backlog was before they even processed the order. Never ordered anything during panics.

Local prices run about $35/k, reloading supply store about 60 miles away has them for $30/k, gun shows run about $30/K. These prices are CCI, R-P about $5 more.

Believe it or not, my local Wal-Mart sells CCI primers for under $4 per 100. That's usually where I go since it's so convenient. I hate ordering from Midway and paying shipping. I wish Amazon had more shooting supplies; I have the Prime membership and get free shipping on nearly everything.

I like powder valley. Excellent prices if you are not in a hurry. They are slow to ship.

Ditto. I don't even shop any more. I just place my order with them for whatever.......

I think about $60.

Still using the ones I bought years ago...at $15.00/k. Running a bit low on SPP. I'll have to part with some money in a few months.
