I called big 5 as soon as I saw this, I bought 4k primers
The way I see it, it's still only 4.5 cents per primer instead of 4,

hello.
What is this tax you guys keep talking about. It is sure nice to just pay the listed price with nothing added on.
And let you drop your insurance they are there the next day to take your plates away!! Around here they drive with expired tags all the time and they only get caught if they are in a wreck...even then they pay a fine and off they go never having to pay for your damage. The state gets theirs, we get the shaft!!
Checked the local store, sold out at $44.95 per thousand, I refuse to abet the insanity.
I saw large rifle at the Big 5 in Irvine, CA.

Just stopped by again because They got their shipment in this morning, They did get a new shipment of primers, They have 209s win for 58.97 +tax and whatever fees if any, that seems very high lol, I have a shop near by that sells them for around 30 as of a week ago, I'll need to call him on Monday to see if he too had to raise prices per Manufacture, He refuses to raise his prices but I'm sure he would've manufactured did......
Hope for change.
I'll have to stop by my local store.
Thanks for the tip

I don't know of a "DOJ fee" on ammo or components (yet), but 8.25% to 10% sales tax takes a pound of flesh at every purchase.
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.

Why not just order primers online. I just got around 50K for an average of under $20 per K. Some were as low as $17 per K, the 556 NATO primers where kind of high. I had to wait 6 weeks or so for the order, but I had plenty of primers on my bench since I place an order like that twice a year. Last time I was right at $18 shipped per K, this time it is a little over $19 per k shipped, only because the NATO primers where $30 more per case.
Yes, I buy quanties of powder and primers from the on-line wholesalers, but buying one brick or one pound, locally, would be advantageous -- only if the prices were realistic.
I don't frequent Big 5 a lot, but needed a new small pocket knife--so I stopped in yesterday at the Ridgecrest store. Sure enough, they had Winchester primers for sale in some numbers and various sizes at $45/1K. I did buy a nice little American-made Buck pocket folder, but managed to avoid the primers deftly.

Here in phoenix as well. 45 per k, sounds like they saw the profit margin and what everyone else is charging so they decided to sell. Some prices were even cheaper than bass pro. They had quite a bit of 556 and 223 ammo as well
Still seeing $Thirty-something online, plus shipping and hazmat, of course, but if I lived close enough...
I don't regularly go to local establishments which may possibly have primers. They're few and far between, and by the time I pay for gas and figure my time into the equation, it becomes a toss-up in respect to a few clicks on the mouse and then waiting for UPS.

During the Clinton shortage Winchester came back with a decent supply of primers about 6 months to a year earlier than the rest of the suppliers. Then came CCI then Remington and last was Federal.
