    We get screwed in Canada. I was in Spokane Washington for Christmas and I saw 1000 Winchester primers for $25 at Sportsmans warehouse.

    Kanada is lost! Trudeau's socialist utopia keeps getting supported by STUPID Liberal & ndp voters.

    Primers, specifically small pistol primers are, and will always be worth 5 cents each. Tax in. It will never get better, only more expensive.
    Primers used to be the most expensive component for reloaders, but now, today, bullets have superceded primer costs. A typical 9mm cast bullet made by DRG is worth about 8-9 cents each. Plated, FMJ, & copper washed bullets are anywhere from 10 cents to 14 cents each. Go bigger to 44 & 45 and the price goes up.
    Primer costs will never retreat just like coffee prices. Availability is the key....

    Ok, good, we'll wait for the next order. When is it due to arrive?

    1-This thread is about primers that are 4¢ or less;
    2-12-18 months ago, if you could get 1000 rounds of 9mm for 300$, you had a bargain. Everyone kept saying how the era of cheap ammos was over and price will only go up. Today you can regularly get a case of 1000 for 240-250$.

    With higher price on reloading components and lower prices on ammos, something is bound to break. I'm not gonna pay more for 9mm reloading components than I'll pay for loaded ammunitions. No one sane will. And with everyone and their mother commercially reloading 9mm, I don't think prices will skyrocket tomorrow.
