As posted previously, I have embraced PCP shooting to provide cheap trigger time and conserve components. Seemed wasteful to use $100/k primers to plink with.
I just ordered 10 tins to augment the 20 tins I already have.
Here is the link. If the mods delete the link (not sure of the rules), just go to Amazon.

$6/500 delivered is a very good price IMO. Lots of fun/$.
15k primers valued at $1500, add in powder $350, and home cast pistol bullets $350 (alloy) and I am pushing over $2200 for 15k rounds of pistol plinking ammunition. Cost for PCP shooting, $200. Our two Crosman 1701P's (his and hers) with Sig Romeo 5's cost under $1000. Groups are 1/8" at 10 yards. Have not tested at 25 yards (too damn cold) but expect about an 1".
Time for me to cast and lube 15k bullets is 40-45 hours. Time to reload 15k rounds is 20-25 hours. 65 hours to make 15K rounds of plinking ammunition. Time to order 15k pellets...
After more than a year of primer/powder shortages, and high prices, I am blessed that the challenge to keep shooting economically has worked out for us. It is unlikely I would ever have bought PCPs otherwise. The four PCP guns and other stuff were paid for by selling primers, powder and factory ammunition we had "hoarded" to those who needed them more than we did.
