I'm certain a lot of you folks are like me; suddenly realizing your supply of primers is getting low, and wondering where you are going to find more, since every Internet site is sold out. MidWay is not even accepting backorders.
This past Friday, I'd stopped by my local Big R store; visiting their sporting goods area. I noticed they had Federal Large Magnum Pistol primers on sale for $1.75 per hundred. So, I bought all they had left; 3 bricks, or 3000 primers. Yesterday, I stopped back in; noticing more Federals. But these were not on sale. I once again purchased all this store had. My wife and I went to Pueblo later that morning. All the gun stores were sold out of primers. I suddenly recalled there was a Big R in town; and went there. Over a two day period, I ended up with over $750 invested in primers. I know I paid too much. But, did I?
Here's what I paid:
Win Small Pistol $3.09 per hundred
Win Small Mag Pistol $3.22 per hundred
Win Large Mag Rifle $3.39 per hundred
CCI Small Pistol $3.09 per hundred
Federal Small Mag Pistol $2.02 per hundred
Federal Large Pistol $2.63 per hundred
Federal Large Mag. Pistol $1.75 per hundred
Federal Large Rifle $3.03 per hundred
Federal Large Mag Rifle $2.63 per hundred
