Primers at the gun show!

[rockrat]

Was at a local show and wonder of wonders, they had WWLR primers there. Price was down from what I have seen @$39/1000. Alot cheaper than I have heard around Denver at $90/1000. Not too many other primers there, but was suprised at the LR primers.

Still kind of high, but neverless good news. Hopefully we will start seeing more primers at decent prices available soon.

if you want primers around my area 40$ a thousand is about right. But that is from local mom and pop shops at sportsmans you can still get them at 32 ish if you can find them. but the good news i'm seeing more of them.

I've been on a waiting list at our local Sportsman's Warehouse for three months.

They called yesterday and I was able to pick up 1k LR and 1k SP CCI primers. This was the first shipment to arrive in any store in my area that I'm aware of for the last several months. I also bought a bunch of Unique and 2400 powder that had just arrived too. That will help get me through for a month or so.

I don't know if it was a fluke or not but both types of primers were just $24.95 at the checkout. I could use a lot more of everything and hopefully this trend will continue for everyone...

Lordy- hard to believe the last Winchester primers I bought were $6.50 per thou...

Our Gun Club just got in a batch of WLR's and they are selling for 26.95. Thats about a 2.00 more than a year ago. Looks like things are starting to get a little better.

Hi Y'all,

I've been on a casting and loading hiatus due to my work load and other things, but I've hit the gun shows and shops.
For the first time in several months, Unique has appeared, and lots of other powders are plentiful.
Primers are getting more common and reasonable. One shop had none, then boxes of Federal LP's for $54.99, then $50.99... I walked in one day, and he had a whole case at that price. No sale here, still way too high for my tastes.
At the gun shows, I'm seeing the gamut: One guy trying to sell primers at $60/M. All he got was crap from people for trying to scalp them!
Another guy glumly sat there for two days trying to peddle Winchestr LP primers for $40/M...
It's slowly getting better....
Hopefully, by the time the dust settles this Fall and I can start casting and loading again, I'll have the money to lay away a good supply of primers at an equally good price.

Happy Shootin'! -Tom

Here in Northeast Missouri things seem to be returning to something close to normal as far a powder is concerned. Primers are coming into stores but some fools are still trying to buy every one primer they can, I hope they have to eat them.

Made a run to the gun stores yesterday. No rifle or pistol primers in Omaha. Hope that the loosening up in other areas hits here soon. Also hope the horders and speculators get their comeupins in time.

I ordered 5K CCI large pistol primers from Natchez on Friday. An email this morning said they're on there way! $23/100 but add on $13 shipping and $22.5 Hazmat and it comes-out to ~$30/1000

I can start shooting 45 ACP at our monthly pistol matches again!

This is about a 6-8 mo supply for me. Hopefully the shortage will be a bad memory by then.

Having not bought any primers for the past couple / three years, could somebody tell why the big "shortage" and exorbitant cost of these things, and how long has this been going on???????

Guess I need to get out more.
