CCI went up here, Win also. Getting low on both large and small rifle. Still cheaper than factory ammunition. Probably mentally say the same words I do when I look at the shelves.

$40/thou on CCI SPP at another CGN vendor, in stock, free ship over a certain amount.

Why the price increase on the Fiocchi primers? They used to be $50.39 per 1500, which was a deal, but the new pricing puts them in line with CCI. I understand that $5 doesn't sound like much but Fiocchi isn't a household name and all things being equal shooters will choose CCI.

I love Fiocchi primers, my last order was for 15K, but I'm not happy about the price increase.

We are always working to bring better pricing. This last order had unforseen costs associated with it. Hopefully on the next order the (insert name of various unforseen circumstances - freight, customs, brokers, storage, etc) will cut us a break.

$55/1500 is still a pretty good price compared to the majors, 3.7 cents per.

Which is still more expensive than the Fiocchi primers this thread is about, they are $55 for 1500 which equates to $36.67 per thousand.

If you love Fiocchi primers, then buy them! They're still cheaper than any other brand, anywhere else, at least from what I can find online and locally.

The Fiocchi's are still way cheaper than even the best deal on CCI.I actually prefer the Fiocchi to the CCI as they seem a bit softer and work well in my CZ Shadow with its light mainspring.

55/1500 is still good. Here its 55-59.99 for 1000 Winchester Primers.

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

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Primers used to be the most expensive component for reloaders, but now, today, bullets have superceded primer costs.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.
