Large Pistol PRIMERS found.

[M70-338]

Are large pistol primers still in very short supply or unavailable?
I found some Winchester bricks at $200 each.

Buy now or wait for more supply at a better price ?

I don't think I could enjoy shooting at 20 cents a pop, just for the primer. Bullets are 10 cents each. Powder 4 cents. 35 cents for lead reloads?? too expensive.

Where?

My guess is the real price for primers right now should be around $70 /k. This represents almost a 100% increase over 2019 prices and is more than generous even in this time of high inflation.

If you want them badly enough, pay any price you are comfortable with. I have enough to get me through at least another year of waiting for normality to return, so I will continue to pass.

Alberta. Primers are the on the "cash only" table a gunshop. I'm down to less than a 100 primers, so it's tempting to get some before I run out.

Good tip for someone local, but unfortunately they won't ship primers or powder.

alpining, did you call to ask for a shipping quote from them?

My local GS's supplier told them not to even bother placing any primers on a back-order as it will be at least a year before any arrive.
Some are just going to have to do what they have to.

No I didn't. You're right, I may have misinterpreted their info.

Thankfully when the chaos started in the USA a couple of years ago I was able to still buy 11 boxes of S&B LPP for $38/1,000 to augment my supply.
I also bought 5,000 BR-2 and BR-4 for $64/1,000.

6 months ago I bought 1,000 Federal SPP for $105 just to shore up my supply and ensure that I don’t run low.
I haven’t needed them yet.

I was at Irunguns in Arizona this week and shot at their range.
We paid $15/50 for 9mm Blazer Brass and $10/20 5.56 PMC
Not worth reloading at those prices.
