Yeah, I got 2,000 Federal 215 Magnum LRP's back in osama's reign that cost $45/1,000. It was way too high at the time but glad I got them to feed my two Weatherby rifles. I have another 1,000 that I had bought for twenty something dollars further back in time. 3,000 primers for a Weatherby hunting rifle is a lifetime supply for my purposes. I've just now almost used the original 1,000 that I bought back in 1987 for my 460.
Bi Mart, in Grants Pass, OR, finally has primers, mostly CCI.
They are running at $.08 apiece.
Midwayusa.com cci SPP. On sale $89.90 wow

I haven't seen LRP or LP primers in my LGS for a long while. Plenty of SPP, SRP MAG and BR primers to go around though. Managed to get 1k LRP and 1k LPP at an auction last week. Paid 75 for one and 85 for the other. Surprisingly didn't have a bidding war for them. SPP bids got a little dicey.
Yep overcharging! Bought 5k from MSS just in case . Low and behold ran across a brick of Remington small pistol primers while making room for the new stock that came out of a widows closet dated 1981 with $8.71 k on the package....where is my time machine? 1981 here I come!
Before you break into my house stand outside and get right with Jesus tell him you're on your way!!
Midway just dropped Remington SPP to $58/k

Some people have reached out to me directly to put specific brass packages together regarding specific headstamps. Feel free to ask.
Today at a grand opening (good luck to them!) a Turner’s Outdoorsman here in Northern California has Winchester and Federal pistol primers by the hundred running $86 to $90 (or Fiocchi’s by the 1500 for $130). No LR or shot shell primers, and the Federal small pistol were sold out. A limited selection of powders were available at $40+/#.
I just noticed that outdoor unlimited has lots of primers for me $75/1000. I guess thats the new going rate, at least they are available
guess I'm lucky. bought small primers before the crazy price increase started. still have 11,000 small pistol primers......
That's not luck. :-/
