Like most firearms related things I should have been buying things long before I started but these prices are keeping me as a young person with not a lot of money from reloading anything becides handguns hopefully they get better some day but I won’t hold my breath

The cure for high prices is high prices, the market eventually works itself out and things will return normal eventually. Yeah life will suck in the meantime.

The sticker price may be higher, but if you look at stuff adjusted for inflation I'm not sure if stacking millions of primers up in the basement would be the best return for investment compared to other stuff
 
Judging from some price lists I've seen....When primer supply catches up, the normal retail price for 1000 primers like Federal will be somewhere in the $150 range. That's my best guess anyway.
 
I have friends in the US. They said in the last 2 weeks they are now seeing all primers available and sitting on shelf (north Carolina, West Virginia, Texas). Price for LRP's is around $140 US. I figure in the next few months we will see them in Canada for around the $200 mark
 
Just got back from Florida... been looking for Large Rifle Primers in 12 different gun stores from Orlando to Tampa. Nada! They all said they didn't have primers in over a year! US is a f'ed as Canada looks like.

Florida sucks for reloading components. Go to outdoor limited website. They are legit and in NC. They have a good supply of primers in stock right now. My sister is 20 mins from them
 
Kidd Family Auctions in SW Ontario just finished an online gun and related stuff auction. 1000 CCI large rifle primers, older packaging, sold for $424 plus 5% buyers premium, $21.25 plus HST for a price of $459. Earlier the bid sat at $375.
Gives you and idea what is going on for pricing. I don't like it either.
 
We will probably have to suffer through a few waves of panic/greed hoarding here before rifle primers settle down to their new market price. Family in gun friendly State mentioned that they are starting again to see stock on shelves of stuff that were short down there.

Continuous war has been happening quite awhile now, tempo has picked up a bit of late. I thought everyone knew to buy it cheap and stack it deep.I learned that lesson several primer shortages ago. sad to say but some folks seem to be late to the party . a hard rain is gonna fall and I don't think the storm has even started.

take care and cheers!:cheers:

I assume another old guy, eh?
I'd hit Yeagers on the way down and pick up the basics (primers /CLP and such things) then on to Kesselrings, the candy store and buy all manner of reloading supplies. Back to Customs, pay the man, no big deal. Times changed. Flash forward a few years bringing my kids home from visiting their cousins in the U.S. , a spent shell casing was in my cupholder (picked it up packing the truck leaving the range a week earlier) and the border guy just about lost his mind, A single 45ACP fired caseb:
Those were the day!
All my extra dollars went to Alan Lever, Kesslerings and Yeagers:d
