My SIL told my he saw primers in our LGS so I went to check it out. They had CCI small rifle bench rest, and small rifle magnum only and they were 125$ a thousand. I let'em keep'em. I'd pay that if I was out, as in, had NONE but I'm not.

At $125 per thousand, I will just do without.
125 per brick isnt too bad. I would pay about hundred. I prefer 45 bucks a brick but that was whole sale price from a private club.

If you are low, then that is a good price since they are selling for as much as $150/1000. If you aren't low and are just looking to get a supply cushion, I'd wait.
I currently have factory primers; also playing with a variety of "Primer Reloading" efforts I have posted on Cat Bolts. At $125.00 per thousand I would accept the "Misfire/NonFire" I experienced in my testing phases and reload my primers. Using Toy Gun Caps it would be about 1 cent per primer (if one only ordered 1200 caps) or $10.00 per thousand (Plus your Time). I would see a similar price for using Prime All mixture to reload primers.
I have sufficient primers I can reload and shoot recreationally for quite some time - but if primers do not become available at a price similar to the previous range 12 months ago in the next year; then I would migrate to more and more shooting with "Reloaded Primers" - saving my horde for load development etc.. where "Firm Data" is needed; particularly when comparing to published reloading data.

I have enough to last another season or two. And I think 6 months from now things will be well on the way to normal. I expect the price will settle at $50-$60. That is unless uncle potatoe head Joe throws a shoe in the works......
A guy posted on another forum that Brownell’s has spp for $75 a thousand. I haven’t checked it as I am good still.
Due to the price of primers, warning shots will no longer be given!
They are out of them now.Originally Posted by Wheelguns 1961
It is a good sign that at least they are getting on the shelves. Prices will come down if you are not desparate.

Glad I stocked up when they were very plentiful! Those prices are absurd
I know guys paying $200+ so that would be a bargain for them. IT is still too high, but those thinking we are going back to $30/K in bulk, aint gonna happen. I expect the new normal to be around $40 per. Its called inflation, thank Joe.

They were $45/1000 around here before the madness struck! & I got me some!
IT IS A FINE AND PLEASANT MADNESS !
I quit buy-in last year when prices rose to $42 to $45 for 1000; then they simply disappeared.They were $45/1000 around here before the madness struck! & I got me some!

Cabellas is getting primers in now
STOP PAYING THE OUTRAGEOUS PRICES!!!!!!!!
Primers were $28/1K last year. Manufacturers have had a 15% increase. So that puts them at $32.20. One local store has Sr an so for $60/1K and they have not moved in a month.
My LGS had SR primers for $120/Kand Match Feds for $140/K Left them on the shelf!
Well, don’t fall for a scam like this

Until the majority of folks leave them on the shelves it will never get back to even near normal.

My local Dunham Sports has Large Pistol Primers for $80 per thousand. They have had them for a couple of weeks now. This is in Bartlesville, OK.
Not primers, but found some 6.5 Hornady 123 ELD-M at Academy the other day for $44.95 I don't have a pressing need for any so passed. The price was about a $10.00 jump from 2019. I figure they're coming in now so maybe the prices will drop a little, I'll wait and see.
