    Primers

    We just got in a very small shipment of primers from CCI.
    All we got was 10 boxes of each, not nearly what we have on order.
    BR2 large rifle benchrest primers $255.00 per 1000 primers
    BR4 small rifle benchrest primers $225.00 per 1000 primers

    Needless to say we are still in sticker shock at what current pricing is too!

    Is this just due to supply and demand issues being out of whack? Or is there government taxes that are acting as a form of trying to reduce the interest in the shooting sports and community in general…. Over 2.5 times increase in a year? I remember seeing these not long ago for $8 a pack of 100. No way this is sustainable…

    There is something fishy with this. the increase seems way higher than anything else out there other than people trying to gouge on the EE. Note: I'm not slagging ATRS, I like you want to know why these are 2.5x last year.

    I just bought primers for $9/100. They were Large pistol mag. Can't see why these would be more than double but who knows. After I saw a 5lb jug of H1000 advertised on the EE for $750 plus shipping all bets are off I guess.

    I just saw an american supplier make a similar post (Maybe on Les Backus site), they were in shock as well $212USD per 1000. Pretty comparable

    I just watched many bricks of Large rifle primers sell for 220-280/1000 in auction tonight. Its absolute insanity. All other primers will soon follow, shotgun being the next IMO

    Imagine what the cost of factory premium ammo is gonna be in the coming months with all these insane rises in cost of components.
    Glad I'm well stocked for the next decade.

    Just imagine the cost of not having them.

    I agree the prices suck, but it’s supply and demand brothers. Last I read, there won’t be any more available to public until 2024 at the earliest. Sure hope that changes. I must say though, money tied up in these items are likely to hold up to inflation better than your paper money. And the way the things are going, who knows if there will be any factories producing for the civilian market in the next few years.
